Alex's RB 182 Cup

[200 Alex]

Gotta get the re map or xenons sorted first mate! Not sure which.

 

[200 Alex]

Sprayed the dash strips at the weekend (pics on page 2)

So I gave her a quick clean and polish too, took some more photos. Needing some opinons on spraying these wheels white with a body colour inside as well as the renault badge being body colour?

anyway enough chatter, here are some more pics. Apologies in advance for my shocking poverty spec interior.

Sorry about the darkness to

Comments/suggestions please

Some air in your tyre....(4th pic up ^^)

 

[200 Alex]

Yeah I only noticed when I got the picture on here! haha.

 

[200 Alex]

Recieved the 3/4 plates today, so I will get them on and take a cheeky picture even though she is dirty!

On a side note, can anyone shed some light on the removal of the front and rear renault badges? going to spray them white me thinks

 

[sam55]

Looks good mate! I would say keep these Cup wheels anthracite as I think they don't suit white so much. Get some Turini's and do them white

 

[200 Alex]

Quick update again, 3/4 plates fitted, here is some pics (excuse the dirtyness of it!)

Sam, I seriously am thinking about white turini's. watch this space.

BIG UPDATE.

Car is booked in with James at Michael Woodford Motorsport (former JMS) tomorrow for a fast road and over run re-map. (expect pics etc) Maybe a cheeky video to follow...

 

[200 Alex]

Re map is finished and its absolutely great, the guys at MWM were very friendly and helpful.

Waiting for the splitter to turn up along with the towing eye. then re spraying dash strips body colour.

still deciding to do with the renault badge on the front? spray it white maybe

 

[Kane.]

I'd keep it as it is. Looks nice.

 

[200 Alex]

Cheers mate. Got a few things still left to do though I think, got the biggy out the way with the re-map being done now.

 

[kraig-cup]

White badge and White mirrors lol
How much the remap cost ya bud?
Pm me if you like

 

[200 Alex]

Think I might do, but then the wheels have to go white too

 

[200 Alex]

Okay so having the wheels re furbed and painted as we speak. Gone for white with a Blue renault badge. Thought I would be brave. The car is going on to Speedlines after christmas anyway so I thought i'd try something different!

Splitter is also going on too! Thought I would get some pictures up monday when I get it back!

Watch this thread monday, expect pics

 

[200 Alex]

Here are the latest updates.

White wheels with RB centre badge
Front splitter fitted

Pics:

Having the stripe on the bonnet re-done tomorrow morning, then next is lowering springs, just to close the arch gap!

Comments please

 

[Joah]

good to see its been repaired mate, not sure about the wheels but will look better lower, good luck keeping them that bright!

 

[bennno2005]

Looks a decent repair job. The wheels dont look as bad as i they sound. But i still dont like them.

 

[200 Alex]

Think people will change their mind when/if they see it in person and its on lows

 

[200 Alex]

Had the stripes re-done today, will post some quick pictures soon

Next to lower it, then it should pull off the white wheels

 

[Kieran..]

sounds good! what you going to be lowering it on?

 

[200 Alex]

Hopefully HR or Bilstein coilovers. Will be after christmas though!

 

[one in a million]

white wheels on these.......ummmm.... i think white speedlines and lowered would really look nicce

 

[200 Alex]

Never seen a RB with standard white wheels which is why I like it They are staying

 

[cliogek]

Wheels are looking good!
:clap:

 

[200 Alex]

So had the front discs and pads changed today (OE).

I'll let these pics of the old ones do the talking.

So yeah

 

[200 Alex]

So its been a while since Ive been in here!

Need to keep up to date!

I went to silverstone late last year to do the GP track and it was amazing, car performed fantastic.

Since then I have found out that I need a new front wheel bearing, my front right spring is damaged and my rear discs and pads need replacing. Oh yeah and my front tyres could do with replacing.

Only 'mods' I have done since then are a couple of stickers and ordered a boot bulb, glovebox bulb and interior light bulb.

I will photo all of these when they come. Until then, here are a couple of pictures from recently

That is all

I will update and take some photos in the next week or so as I am ordering Eibach Sportlines tomorrow morning.

I am very excite.

thanks for looking!

 

[200 Alex]

Stuff it, just ordered the Eibach Sportlines.

The missus is NOT happy.

 

[Will.]

Looks good. Sportlines FTW. You won't regret it.

 

[200 Alex]

Cheers bud hope not. Hoping it will handle like its on rails.

 

[200 Alex]

Ordered some mtech headlight and fog bulbs today, just to take the yellow tint out of the headlights

 

[200 Alex]

These turned up today. Finally...

As did these! Props to HID's direct. Very good communication and quick delivery.

 

[200 Alex]

Recieved my standard air box with K&N panel filter from Chris205 on here, props to him for keeping me updated!

I'll take some pics when its cleaned up and I fit it on monday!

How do I leave him feedback?

 

[200 Alex]

Re: Alex's Sportlined, Milltek'd 182 Cup

Few quick updates.

Had the sportlines on a day and im loving them. Would highly advise buying them if your thinking of getting better springs.

Also fitted the standard airbox and cold air feeds which i much prefer over the noisy K&N cone. You can hear the exhaust note a lot more.

Last but not least, had MTEC headlight and fog light bulbs fitted, 4,750k temperature. They look great and give sufficient light.

Some pics, excuse the filthyness. Enjoy.

Thanks for looking!

Next up is geniune mats, I have a new lower grille coming because a rabbit has ruined the one I have on.

Alex

 

[RB182CUP-FF]

Hi mate what bulbs u got in the fogs?

 

[liam172cup]

plenty of stickers on the back there lol. it sits really well with those sportlines on. looks like your lower grill needs popped back in position though...

 

[200 Alex]

I have MTEC cosmo blue 55watt H11 fitting in the fogs.

Cheers liam, yeah it keeps popping back, its properly busted, got a new one coming though, should have it on tomorrow

 

[200 Alex]

So it's official, she is yozza'd.

Bought the cat back new from ktec. Fitted it with the cat just for yesterday and hopefully the scorpion decat pipe will be here today.

Anyway, it sounds well. Pics attached.

Alex

 

[Lal B3N]

Very nice! Car looks great.

How loud is the exhaust with the cat in?

 

[200 Alex]

Cheers mate!

The exhaust is fairly loud with the cat in, but not intrusive/offensive.

Completely silent at 70/80 on the motorway

 

[200 Alex]

The de-cat is now in and wow what a transformation.

Sounds absolutely amazing throughout the rev range. Whoever designed this exhaust is a genius.

 

[mattjones]

Car looks great mate! Possibly some tripod action on the go on the last track day pic How do you remove the front fogs to get the new bulbs in, do the surrounds just pop off?
