Rb182cup+s2 rallye
Ok so thought id start a project thread as things are getting a bit more serious with the car.
Just over a year ago I sold my immaculate Williams for another Clio went looking for a hybrid so I could have some fun with it, taking it apart, modding it and most importantly for me learn about the cars.
I found a very tidy looking hybrid it had just had alot spent on it with an engine re build gearbox re furb and a long list of new parts.
Looked perfect so went and had a look it drove real nice, nice steering feel nice gearshift brakes spot on it was just what I was after so I took it home that night. Cost me 2k so was a decent price for a tidy little hybrid.
My main plan was to strip it and get it tidy and try not to spend too much and spread the spending out.
When I first got it ….
(pics to come photobucket aint letting me upload them)
I then added some Williams wheels, some clear side repeaters and got started stripping it. I also painted the inside matt black with some of halfords finest. I also added a de-cat and itg panel filter with fog light scoops from tweeks witch improved things quite abit oh and some nice 1.2 badges lol and a Williams steering wheel. all this over a period of a few months .…
Then I got bored didn’t really want the car so started looking for a integra type r. the car just got to me abit needed new tyres, tax, cv boot doing, power steering was making a awful noise (turned out it just needed more fluid) and I just couldn’t be arsed so was close to selling. Then I sorted all that and got the bug back.
With the bug back I decided to start playing again I painted my inlet black (was meant to be gloss but came out satinL) added another cold air feed to the air box to help it breath a little more. I took to old air feed chopped it up abit cut a hole in the air box and had the feed running alongside the battery to the hole behind the passenger side front light.
I also changed siderepeaters to some oval smocked universal jobbies as the clear just stood out abit to much.
Pics of a car around this point
I was getting bored of the silver Williams wheels so bought some center caps for them as they was needed badly and was unsure what colour to do them but decided on satin black painted one side and it looked good.
but in the end I thought id put a layer of laquer on to give it a cleaner look and think I made the right decision in the end.
At this point I also painted the front diamond and rear badges satin black and removed the rear wiper covering the hole with a ghetto fix of black tape lol.

pic of the engine just sat in my shed
It’s a big spec list and should hopefully see around 300 brake so its gonna be lively
Heres some current pics of the car ill add more at the weekend when the engine goes in and when they upload if photobucket stops being homo.
Along the way ive had a few fix’s replaced a load of little bits and bobs and so far ive loved working on it every time I get under it or remove something I learn something new witch was the point of the car. And in my opinion its looking spot on its just a matter of cash holding me back getting it exactly how I want it but isn’t that always the case lol.
Plans for the future…
Smooth the boot and bonnet
Cage it
New buckets (mine aren’t to comfy)
Relocate battery to boot
Harnesses
Something about the sunroof (leaks and weights to much
)
Front and rear door cards going to make my own
Possibly remove stereo and speakers
Bigger brakes (ASAP with this engine lol)
Hope you like fanks muchly
No doubt ill be along soon to edit this with more info or ill just add it later on.
