I've had my RB5 162 for four months now this is what I've done

Single cd head unit
Clear indicators ( side and front )
Mesh intercooler cover
Poppy coral air freshner

Cause it's a limited run I wanted to keep it close to standard

Hope it helps

I've just bought a PPP RB5 (No. 418) and am going through the same thought process... what next?

I am tempted to leave the ECU and Exhaust (it's got a decat downpipe) alone really as I like the way the car drives now (bags of torque ) but a couple of things have crossed my mind...

defi gauges
Apexi boost controller
suspension upgrade (not sure, maybe Leda/Avo + bumpsteer mods etc)
brake upgrade (would like AP6's but they are sooo expensive... might just start with pads, disks and braided hoses)
intercooler splitter + mesh guard,
iridium plugs at next service
performance panel filter at next service
water spray maybe
clear lenses
knock-link and lambda link
*maybe* clear rears although not sure yet
Toyo's next time round

then I'll be happy...

Matt, its an engine treatment that is a 3 part treatment. Engine / Oil / Petrol.

Pete Jackson at Listers is only guy that can do it for you in this country. It has come from America, where it has been very popular and successful.

I was in the first 20 to have it done, and I must say it is good. I felt a noticeable difference in an already good running car.

Do a search on Run-rite on Scoobynet in the last 4 months and you will find a few threads, one of them is realy detailed and will tell you everything. Alternatively call Pete for explanation on 07968 029655. For £60 its a must mod IMHO.

Sorry I am not saying more but want to go home.... I'm sure you understand
