Looks nice dude. What exhaust has it got?

 

[medici999]

Its a janspeed exhaust!
Will have my rs tuner here on tuesday! But really wanting some springs to be honest!

 

[Will.]

Is that the janspeed / ktec one they do? The one im off to see has that on it.

 

[medici999]

Maybe, sits very well though! I love it.

 

[Brett]

I was impressed by the eibach sportlines I had on my 172. Get a decat, that'll sort out the quiet exhaust.

 

[medici999]

Well i took out the large tube to the right of the airbox and the induction noise sounds so much better!
Met up with a member from here and took him out in my car and he said its pulling very well..which i guess shows motor depot can change a cambelt!
Dont fancy decatting it to be honest! Will ruin the noise.
Rs tuner will be here tuesday..then matched inlets and im done i reckon.

 

[medici999]

Say when my rstuner comes, and i reprogram the ecu..etc...when all thats done do you simply remove the rstuner or does it stay attached to the car all the time...as if it comes off again surely you can just sell it on then you have basically paid like £50 for a remap?

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Yeah it comes off and yes you can sell it again, you just pay for the new licence for it

 

[medici999]

So basically i get the rs tuner, unlock it, download the map..etc..then i have effectively an rs tuner...sell it back on and my car has been remapped for like £50?
That seems a cheeky way to do it.

 

[medici999]

for those who have rs tuners..
is it as simple as putting in my vci..waiting for it to be unlocked.
Plus the rs tuner into the car...with my laptop?...then do a fault code checker..if all ok then download the most up to date map and away i go?

Im sure henk will answer you when hes online next

 

[Y7 ADW]

and I thought my RB sat high! The rear looks too high. Nice exhaust btw, same as mine

surely its the angle it was taken at...i was laying down and the car is raised up a level cause of the garage>?

 

[Jasey]

The only angle that could explain the height is this one

 

[fUbAr]

It does look strangely high at the back for some reason... in both pics so it can't be the angle of the photo.

I'm betting it's got the wrong springs on the back.

 

[Christopher]

That's the highest 182 I've ever seen.

fUbAr spec rear springs?

 

[medici999]

Well ill jack the car up and see if i can tell what springs they are!
hopefully ill have some lowering springs though soon.

 

[medici999]

in real life though, it really doesnt look high.

 

[fUbAr]

Im sure the 182 they tested on Fifth Gear back at release was HV04 in RB wasn't it?

magic 'highering' camera?

PMSL.

I'm going to check now.

 

[medici999]

Well i met up with a member from here last night, and his car was no lower and it was a 182 also.

 

[Christopher]

HV04 MLK was Fifth Gear's.

 

[fUbAr]

HV04 MLK was Fifth Gear's.

Impressed I remembered the HV04 bit? :approve:

 

[jenic]

Sure?

I genuinely believe that car is too high, must have the wrong springs fitted, or it is filled with helium balloons?

 

[fUbAr]

It's only the rear which looks very wrong tbh, the front isn't too far out.

 

[jenic]

It's only the rear which looks very wrong tbh, the front isn't too far out.

Yeh, should of said that, just the rear.

 

[alanc1000]

not only does it look high at the back but the camber looks out, looks like the wheels are pointing in a bit like a Citroen 2CV Dolly?

 

[st3ve]

Forget wasting money on RSTuner (for now) and matched inlets, suspension and brakes are the most important!

That back end is ridiculously high btw.

 

[JCC]

Great, now we'll have another 20 seperate threads on why is it so high, how will I sort it, where will I buy springs, what springs, how much will I pay......

 

[alanc1000]

medici999 - can you post up a pic of a ruler in the gap between wheel and arch, just to see if it is a camera trick?

 

[skatedemonuk]

it did look higher at the back end last night but i wasnt sure if it was just the carpark

 

[Will.]

I seriously think you may have non cup springs or something. It's not the right height.

 

[jenic]

I seriously think you may have non cup springs or something. It's not the right height.

I'd go further than that tbh, it has non sport springs of some kind imo

 

[medici999]

right, im a bit worried now!
shall i actually get a ruler and measure the gap from the top of the wheel to the arch...any idea what it should be?

 

[alanc1000]

do the measurement medici999, then others can give you a definite answer.

 

[medici999]

Right, i have measured from the top of the rim inline with the centre cap, just to the arch..i measured from the rim as other people may have different size tyres..its about 140mm

 

[Charlie.]

Gravity fail.

Anyway. Black with RB writing on bullets, wheels to match.

 

[medici999]

I have taken measurements!

About 140mm from the top of the rim to the arch.

 

[medici999]

Hopefully a few other people will go measure theres!
