Hello Si,
Great motor you've got there, it's very well known on the RB5 owners club.
You should pop over and say Hi
I'm a big fan of RB5's with black morettes (exactly what I've got )

 

Thanks

I'm in Tewkesbury most days. Hope to see ya around too

Tried to reg on RB5OC but the web site has a error with new members trying to join.

 

very nice mate good choice

 

Hiya, The car has 129k on the clock and the wheels are Team Dynamics, As for mods.. not to sure,

I've got a run down on the spec somewhere i''ll have to dig it out

but this is what it was listed with over on Piston Heads

Interior

The interior is complimented with almost brand new RB5 mats and gear **** which I saved until the sale, There is also a Pro drive boot matt which is unavailable now in new condition,

Security

Erm, Could you elborate a little more... What is WR and what is PPP

 

PPP = Prodrive Performance Pack

WR I assume is World Rally .... ??

 

The WR sport version was an optional upgrade available to all UK turbos in 1999 (including the RB5)
It included:
Prodrive High wing
Prodrive ECU, exhaust, and air filter
Inter-cooler piping
And optional suspension upgrade.

However your car (No 183) didn't have the upgrade when it was new.
An easy way to check is the WR versions had "WR sport" written on the clocks.

There is tons of information and history about your car at the RB5oc forum.
We're all obsessed by RB5's over there

 

Gorgeous looking RB5 you have there allways had a soft spot for them. Just be carefull about disclosing too much information about your security.

 

I have tried to register over on rb5oc but all I get is a error, everytime I try an register with them.

 

I only like a couple of the Classics and this is one of them

 

Hi Si,
I've left a message for the mods on the RB5oc regarding this, I'll keep you updated

 

looks very nice

 

Thanks for that, the previous owner of the car was a member. So I thought us join too lol

 

Si, I've spoken to the mods and they reckon it might be because RB5 183 is already registered by the previous owner (Dave, nice guy)
Try registering without a build number and see if that works.
Do you know exactly what error messages you were getting? I'll pass these on to the mods too.

 

It doesn't even allow me to register with the site ( i don't actually get to add what build number i have )

This is the error i'm having...

 

hi there, i'm another scooby owners in the cheltenham, tewks area, we will have to set up our own group seems to be a few of us here!!!

 

Some of my own pictures, taken today.

yes i know it needs a clean.. Just waiting for My Friend Graeme to come home ( He's working in germany but has his own detailing business called IdealShine )
