m18ouse,

Not sure if they are refering to the competition you seem to be having with me, tarting the RB5 up. Or maybe they mean a m18ouse v babber on a private road like a race ?

Cheers Phill C

PS The Defi's have arrived and look lovely

I meant it would be interesting to see the Tek'd up RB5 against the "standard" RB5 with the dustbin exhaust - on a private road of course

You never get something for nothing - if the TEK increases performance, makes the car smoother and saves fuel - what the **** is the down side???

"rarity value" my **** - at Rallyday there was only 1 RB5 and I think about 36 P1s...

I've also heard they are not actually that quick - but mind you that might be because the average age of a P1 owner is about 56 and most are only ever driven to church and back every other Sunday

Oh yeah and try putting an Ikea wardrobe in the back of your P1 - wagons rule!!!

Turbo,

I suppose for rarity value nothing beats your white wagon....thinking about it, that's not rarity value, that's novelty value...!! meeoooow..

Now Now Steve your just jealous cause you haven't got a tweed interior.
I must say I agree with Steve about RB5's being common. I went in two different ones at the weekend and they were both WR Sports
Never even saw a P1

It's my dads beast mate and there is no chance I could keep up with you, even after taking it to redline straight from cold!!!

Actually it's a bit shagged at the moment and stinks of oil - dunno why but it started after I raced that orange hot rod in it

I glad you both confirmed that the Tek 2.5 is well worth the money. I'm running on a AE801 at the moment and it's PANTS!!! Still in fairness Mouse has left me with his PPP ECU, which I'll fit later, but I know I won't be happy with that

Lol, at Sideways and the RB5 comment, how many STi7 are in Yate, ahh ?
