My RB 182

[Matt 16v]

I thought i'd start a project thread for my car, I dont have any massive plans for it, more to just keep a record of what i've done

Heres more or less how i bought it:

While i liked the sound and look of the supersport K-tec exhaust it wasnt doing my ears any favours on long trips which is mainly what i use it for

....so i changed the centre section to a silenced one but that still didnt do the trick for me, so i changed to a OEM system which i bought from is1

It might not be too popular round here, but i dont really care lol, the OEM system i got was in top condition and should last a long time and lets me have the power without the drone on the motorway

Today whilst enjoying the start of the long weekend i had a crack at trimming my dash inserts with alcantara, not really a match to the seats but i think it looks a lot tidier, especially as this was my first attempt, i might do them again if i can find some darker material, but my originals were scratched and looked a bit tacky in the cabin imo

Also changed the steering wheel over from a melted down one to a much tidier example and fitted aero wipers and silver-visions before i started this thread

Looking at getting some new mats, fitting my alpine head unit and sourcing a centre cap for one of my wheels which is peeling a bit, but all that stuff is cosmetic.

Looks really good, but you need a new number plate, that one is illegible

Looks great mate you still got the ktec exhaust?

Looks awesome! Captured the colour perfectly. I hate seeing perfect RB's in FF form, makes me want to sell the cup and do it ''properly''

Lol, Yeah, i know what you mean

Cheers! I've always wanted an RB after passing one everyday for years, i was lucky enough to have the day off and get out to see the car as soon as it went up on autotrader, was a bit of a road trip but well worth it!

I do have the Ktec but i think i'll keep it for a while as a spare, its a shame really its the quietest s/s exhaust i've owned with the silenced section but its not right for my current situation at the moment

Cheers! it was only minor cosmetic stuff that needed fixing on this when i got it so i was so happy when i drove it back! Cups are aces for track days and fast road stuff though arent they?
