I'm coming into some money quite a large amount from an accident i was involved in 18 months ago and was wondering if you had say £2000 to spend on your scooby what would you do to it?

I was thinking wheels and getting the bodywork absolutely minted, but im not so sure. Maybe a FMIC or new turbo? I need a few things to throw in the hat so i can choose and get some sound advice as what to do with the cash. I dont want to waste it see

Thanks Guys

Agree with SammyH!

Keep the wheels to sell with the RB5, as anything else on a RB5 just won't do.

A minter RB5 will sell better than a modded one.


how about a 2.5 litre conversion for the 2K???

Agree with the comments on the RB5...I don't know what, if anything, you have already done but can recommend brake upgrade if you have the standard discs.

I had the Pagid Group N upgrade from Scoobysport fitted...made a great difference and would still leave a fair amount of cash to play with

Wish I was in your position....hummm.. discisions, discisions :-)

hehe thanks for all the replies guys....still doesn't leave me any better off though . Decisions decisions. Or i could just use some more of my insurance payoff to buy an STI 7. £4300 down and £289.00 a month thereafter! Went to CVC lastnight and looked through the window....then lit the tyres up on exit from CVC. It was wet and i fancied a mad 30 seconds. Besides new tyres on today

Whats all this with a 2.5L conversion? What is that?

I was thinking of joinging you at longleat actually. See if any other RB5's are about!

thanks again
