New Member - RB 182 - Exeter

[Jackpilk]

Hi, I'm new here.

Recently picked up an RB 182, 43,000 Miles, FSH, Cambelt done last service, few goodies on it already and a few more to come.

Any suggestions on what route to take? I'l be getting the alloys refurbed at some stage but unsure of what colour.

And are there many people on here round Exeter way? I hardly know anyone in the car scene.

Picture quality isn't great:

Welcome

I work in Exeter, I'll keep an eye out for you.

 

[Jackpilk]

Ace. Mines without the stripes so yeah give a wave or something. Are there many people on here from Exeter do you know?

 

[KC 182]

Welcome mate. I'm not far from Exeter. Saw a sliver 182 in Exeter on Friday night too. Wheels colour? Black or anthracite?

 

[Jackpilk]

Can't decide! Anthracite is smart but Black looks real nice. Where out of Exeter are you? Your's an RB?

 

[shanedavison28]

Im from Exeter

 

[Jackpilk]

Cool! I live in Sowton, you will have to give me a shout next time you're out and about.

 

[bunzee]

Blimey. There's a few of us in the area then, yet it's very rare I see any!

Im from Cullompton, but always in and around Exeter.

Welcome btw!

 

[Jackpilk]

Cheers! Yeah I'm in and out of Exeter quite a bit, had a black 172 before I got the 182. Dan is yours relatively low? may have seen it before once or twice. Need to get a meet together, I don't really know if that happens but I'd be up for it.

 

[bunzee]

My brother lives in Cullompton so I'm fairly often in that neck of the woods too! I think my car must be invisible though lol

 

[rsclio182]

[stm77]

Car looks very smart btw.

 

[Jackpilk]

Thanks mate got it for a stupidly low price so I'm pretty chuffed only had it a month though, performance wise it's fine just needs dropping and the wheel's doing.

I'l have to keep an eye out for you lot.

Im also from honiton near exeter.

 

[Jackpilk]

Shepperdspie were you by any chance heading into Exeter on the weekend and have an RB come up behind you before you got to the traffic lights as you pass under the M5? You would have came that way if you were coming from Honiton, was defiantly a silver Phs1 I saw.

I see, Bet your loving the fuel economy though. I see you do belts etc take it your the man to give my car too with any belt related problems?

Possibly Shane I'm always around that area, using any excuse to get out the house and jump in the car.

Hi mate I am from Plymouth my brother lives in exeter so you may see me fly by sometime. I have a black 172 on 17"'s

 

[is1]

Front splitter, Eibach Sportlines, anthracite for the wheels (if you must) but NOT black.
Then leave it alone. They are quite brilliant as standard (assuming it is otherwise mechanically standard). Save the money for running it and if that is surprisingly cheap, spend the money on travel, other things you are interested in, broaden your horizons ...

 

[is1]

Oh, forgot one.
The RS Tuner RON 98 map is how it should have come from the factory, makes the car soooo much more driveable and smooths out the daft 5,000 rpm jolt/kick as well as improving fuel consumption slightly.

 

[Jackpilk]

is1: Those are my exact planned mods, I've just put the fabia splitter on, for £12 has to be one of the best priced mods. It's not exactly mechanically standard, K-tec exhaust cat back, pipecross filter/ air feed and remapped, I can tell the difference as its a lot more responsive than my 172. I think the gloss black wheels look nice on RB's but they are quite 'loud' if that makes any sense? That map sounds good I'l have to do my homework on it.

rob5gt: Was in Plymouth today, saw quite a few nice looking sports, I've noticed joining on here I'm keeping my eye out more for them.

im from exeter....also drive an RB.. keep an eye out seems to be a few of us around exeter now.... why do i never see you all ?? lol

 

[Craigus]

Welcome.

There seem to be a few of us in the area between where the reps are. Bristol and further down like Truro way. Either are always a bit far for me. Maybe we need to arrange a meet in Exeter. Seems that there are enough of us.

 

[Kirsten]

im up for a meet in the exeter area
