Jekyll's RB182 Progress Thread

[Jekyll]

Yeah im glad i went with that colour to be honest. At first i wasnt sure but thought, sod it, ill fit it and see. Now i really like it so its staying. Even the missus approved! She wasnt keen on the black one.

I have some Nissan techno grey at work which is more a colour match to the sunstrip so i may do the bullets that colour instead.

 

[LeeRS]

Yeah go for it. all changeable if you dont like it.
Ive just put a cup spoiler on mine.

 

[Jekyll]

Looks much better mate!

Cup or trophy spolier does finish the rear off. They almost look unfinished otherwise.

 

[182_steve]

😂 that video was brilliant, someone seriously had that wheel on your old car before you got it!? Never seen anything like it, so dangerous 🙈
No worries about going cheap however, have put in an order for a smart looking 330mm Sparco wheel with black suede and centre horn push (so I can have a 4 button bracket) and went for the Momo boss on your recommendation. Will see what that all looks like when it turns up!

Anyway, big apologies for diverting your thread with all that mate.............. back to your car;

WHEEL CENTRES =
CLOCKS = :smiley::smiley:

Enough said :up:

Actually i bought that wheel. I had a Sabelt, but sold it to accumulate some money back for other things. Bought a OMP one but couldn't gel with that. Sold that and bought this one which was advertised in a known magazine (cant remember the name now) and was new. Not good. I wished id have emailed the company because that was dangerous! Got a momo one in the end, as seen in the video!

I do cring whenever i watch it, but now i use it to show people not to buy cheap steering wheels or fakes as they are not worth it! Plus it gives a few laughs!

This is good news Steve! Once you go smaller, you wont want to go back to the bus sized wheel! Plus you can remain cruise control/speed limiter with the new bracket. And less buttons too :wink:

Sorry to have swayed you to spend money!! Dont apologise about swaying off topic in here buddy. I have interests in all projects, even if we talk about them in here. No hate from me :smile:

 

[BGEarles]

Haha, just happy to help bud. Thank you



Thanks buddy



DO NOT BUY CHEAP!! Stick with a well known brand and pay the extra for it. I will leave this here.....





Here you go darling:

For that price, its worth having spares! I used them to do my clock bulbs too which are the same so handy to keep spares.

 

[Jekyll]

Pure motorsport 5mm rear wheel spacers came today. Only ordered them yesterday so great service there :smile:

Fitted them tonight. The hub caps are now equal both front and rear, and so are the studs regarding the same amount of thread showing. Result!

Its as far as i can go spacing wise on the rear bit best of all it doesnt rub. All round good purchase!

Excuse the dirty RB, its been shite weather and its been used everyday due to being a daily, but i cant be arsed to clean it yet!

 

[Daz...]

That looks spotless compared to mine 🙈

 

[mintno1]

Off topic, but spacer related, what did you run on your ph1? Are you just running 5mm on the back of the RB? What are you running on the front of the RB? Thank you in advance :smile:

 

[Jekyll]

Up close its filthy!

Spacers wise is this:

RB front: Hubcentric 16mm spacers
RB rear: 5mm rear wheel spacers
RB wheels: Speedline 2118s with ET38

Ph1 front: Bolt to hub hubcentric 20mm spacers.
Ph1 rear: 10mm hub spacers, no camber.
Ph1 wheels: F1s with ET43.

 

[mintno1]

Up close its filthy!

Thank you, been looking at ordering some but can't figure out what widths to go for, much appreciated.

 

[Jekyll]

Will you be using your existing wheel bolts? If so, get h&r bolt to hub ones. The quality was very good and came with steel inserts. Thats what i ran with.

Haha thanks Mark and no need for an apology from you too, it's good to have a recommendation on these things like the Boss etc as I wouldn't know which to get, would probably have gone straight for a Sparco to match the wheel's manufacturer lol! But if Momo is better, worth the extra :up: Really looking forward to getting it all sorted as I've heard a few times now of the difference in a small wheel to the standard van wheel! Fingers crossed, look out for an update on mine soon!

 

[imprezaworks]

I highly recommend changing to a smaller wheel Steve. Top five of the best things to do.

 

[imprezaworks]

Oh and yeah the momo boss, about £60 ish.

 

[182_steve]

Yeah that's the one :up:

 

[imprezaworks]

Demontweeks or alike. Get it done and report back

 

[VR46-G@Z]

I really really wish I could be arsed to do 1% of the stuff you do to your car..... Absolutely superb attention to detail, fair do's it's awesome!! If you ever run out of things to do on your RB you can have mine next and fill your boots.....:smile::up:

 

[Martin.]

Serious want for this car to be honest.

 

[Mr R.]

Serious want for this car to be honest.

Me too. [emoji4]

 

[leeds2592]

Probably missed it somewhere but how low have you got the coilovers at the back? Still got the adjuster in?

When I finally get my arse into gear and sell my TD's, the F1's and standard 182 wheels I've got in my garage, I'm going with 2118's.

 

[mintno1]

Have looked at these, they look to be a good quality piece of kit! Did you run H&R front and rear?

 

[LeeRS]

@Dr Jekyll im expecting a nice xmas bonus for you after that auction

Thank you mate! Thats a nice comment to read.

Haha, this one takes enough time as it is!

Thanks again chaps for the positive comments Genuinely means a lot.

You know it makes sense! I hope i have contributed to sway you into getting some?

As for the rear, the adjusters are in but are wound all the way down (or up in this case as the platforms are above the rear springs)

Have looked at these, they look to be a good quality piece of kit! Did you run H&R front and rear?

No i ran just M.A.D. ones but Pure Motorsport do them and are better quality.

@Dr Jekyll im expecting a nice xmas bonus for you after that auction :smiley:

I wish i saw some of it mate but unfortunately i cant see it happening!

 

[Grier]

Love this car, so much inspiration for mine.

Favourite RB on this

 

[Djw John]

I need to get a pic of mine in daylight so you can see what dirty is! Trust me, it shows it if it's bad enough!

Eta, this is from March, it's much much worse ATM

 

[LeeRS]

Should have seen mine at oulton on saturday.
Was disgusting.

Got to love a dirty car, especially this time of year :smile:

 

[Jekyll]

I must try harder!!

 

[Djw John]

Should start this years dirty car thread really.

 

[Jekyll]

I said i must try harder, i didnt say i would actually follow it through though!

Thank you kindly

I pressume your on about the clock bezel/sticker?

 

[Grier]

Thank you kindly :smile:

I pressume your on about the clock bezel/sticker?

I am indeed, but also considering some 2118s now........

 

[Jekyll]

You and @leeds2592 too?!

I need to be on commision!

 

[leeds2592]

As for the rear, the adjusters are in but are wound all the way down (or up in this case as the platforms are above the rear springs)

Definitely. I really wanted F1's for ages and bought some about a year ago and all they've done is sit in the garage collecting dust. Silver 2118's are the way to go. Just need to decide whether to buy new or get a used set refurbed.

I've currently got my adjusters out as it still sat a little high with them in although I get scrubbing everytime I go over a bump now, especially with someone in the passenger seat.

 

[subarufreak]

stunning car!!! what tires are those on the 2118?

 

[Jekyll]

They are Yokohama AD08R's.

 

[182_steve]

How are you finding those tyres? Good grip in wet AND dry etc etc?

 

[MrBlonde]

How are you finding those tyres? Good grip in wet AND dry etc etc?

From what ive read & heard they are great in the dry but not in the wet as more of a summer tyre so need heat in them,great looking tyre tho!.im thinkng of getting some next summer or GoodYear's ASY
