Aaron's RB 182

[Aaron182.]

(seem to have lost my progress thread)

So back in January i bought myself a Real Renaultsport after having sold my rep and having a diesel for a bit

(said rep) in gay bonnet open pose.

(and the diesel)

so a short trip up to wales and i picked up my 182

i arrived to find it not looking quite as perfect as this above picture.
the bonnet needs a full strip and respray due to some serious paint cracks.

63k
BTB catback
Turinis
MSV rear cage
Recaros
Adjustable Coilovers
Simota Aeroform
and lots of Carbon goodies.

(the recaros) i belive from an integra.

i sold the cage.

and fitted a whiteline ARB

and Ktec soild topmounts at the same time,

i got the white wheel bug.

then decided i needed new tyres, so
the wheels came off for paint stripping and new rubber.
and replaced with a cheap set of (winter) wheels

I found some yellow tint stuff kicking around, that got the better of me and the fogs went yellow

Followed shortly by a set of genuine Xenons

this morning my Heko bits turned up =]

now just some photo whoring

C & C welcome =]

[leeroybrown]

[Aaron182.]

Thankyou very much

 

[Aaron182.]

This your old car?

And how do you mean?
The current plates have "cal" on them

 

[leeroybrown]

It was my car before Callum bought it pal.

I stuck the filter on.

I might even still have a spare key somewhere as well

 

[Aaron182.]

Haha just found your receipt when u sold the car to him aswell.
Love the simota.

 

[leeroybrown]

Yeah, sounds class pal

 

[Aaron182.]

Went for a quick drive with my phone on the dash. Defiantly getting a go pro now.

[Aaron182.]

so i finaly sorted my wheel situation out

 

[McGherkin]

New toweye as well? Looking smart as usual

 

[Aaron182.]

Well spotted. Getting ready for the ring. 25mm spacers up front if u look realy hard aswell.

 

[McGherkin]

Saw the spacers on FB

Ring should be epic, have fun :dapprove:

 

[Aaron182.]

Proof of ring trip

followed by slowly returning the car to standard.

removed the race battery and put a standard one in a box in the boot.

Standard seats :/

removed the BTB and fitted an RS192

removed the silly sized 25mm spacers.

JMS airbox on its way.
10mm spacers on their way.


=[

 

[leeroybrown]

Should have H&R suspension on Arron not Vmaxx :-(

 

[Aaron182.]

did you fit H&R's ?
they are definaly not atm. and were shocking on track :/

 

[leeroybrown]

They were on when I bought the car, have you took all the good bits off now :-(

What's happened with the BTB?

 

[Aaron182.]

yeah most of the good bits are gone tbh.
just starting to work on getting it back to the standard you had it at.
so i can trade up next year

 

[McGherkin]

Damn... Next thing we know, you'll have taken the stripes off!

Any particular reason why you're putting it all back to standard?

 

[Aaron182.]

stripes are definatly staying. they were standard on the car

so much easier to sell a standard car. + ive made a fortune selling parts. and it hasnt cost much to buy standard bits.

350z next year


forgot to add. ive put a few extras in like standard Xenon headlights.

[McGherkin]

Damn. Bring it to a meet before you sell it!

 

[Aaron182.]
