u never rang me today :p i even clayed it!


piaas are tucked up in the garage with newly painted and badged covers james, dont worry :laughing: they shall return.

and ive a 5th spare wheel in the garage :laughing:

@ rik - honestly i dont know, just had a real itch this week, nothing in particular has taken my fancy, plus with my dad also having an RB5 its a bit hard to think about selling it after the banter we had getting both of them


few pics of my dads from last year, its now running prodrive 18s and has the same spoiler as mine to go on:

after several close encounters with hedges, roundabouts and other cars i thought i deserved new brakes :laughing: hopefully these will help me stop a bit better

also did the usual oil and filter change and replaced the good old maf sensor :laughing:

A guy selling gold ones on ebay with avon's for £710, not sure if his postage would be free to NI, or if he does them in gunmetal, or infact if they would even look good on a newage!

Jus spoke to him £810 for gunmetal ones, apparently dearer to buy! :worried:

@ Jaslad - revolution never made gunmetal coloured milleniums, i got mine from a rallyspares company who commissioned so many sets. (search for speedline ;) and you`ll find the seller, a guy called john... fairfield motorsport. lovely bloke and bargain money)

@Rab - i can rb5 it back un under an hour, dont worry. I just prefer the STi front for a change, but i`ll chop and change throughout the year

@minimad - i know mate, but did u like my smoke screen? lots of chuff from being driven like a granny for a while :p

nah mate, its sitting in my drive as was. full set of badges fitted and the fogs are back in. STi8 seats are out and sold and OEMs back in. and new set fo 335mm discs and ferodo pads :laughing:

I`ve hit a wall with it modification wise, i cant really do more engine wise without big bills for clutches and gearboxes then bottom end strengthening, and i think the outside is sitting pretty sweet :grinning:

i`ve these r5 turbos to get on the road and i`m half inclined to sell up and buy something different, but to get decent money i`ll probably have to strip it right back to standard and part it out.

i think that, then i go clean it and love it again.

if your after an rb5, there none better if the cash is right ;) tho my problem is every car i`ve looked at to part x with is nowhere near as clean as what i`ve got, so i know i`d be starting at the bottom again
