If you want pictures resized mail them to me, and I\'ll do it for you.

Its a 1996 type RB, 47000 miles with an engine rebuild about 5000 miles ago. Sourced through Miguel at Newera.

Engine wise its standard apart from rear section of exhaust and an Apex\'i dual chamber blow off valve, not sure what make exhaust is but has a lovely burble to it, as its only the back section ECU is standard (for now :))

Body kit is by C-West, had it fitted when it got to the UK. Never saw the car in the flesh without it on! Pictures dont do it justice, gets so much attention just driving down the street and have lost count number of times people have asked me what it is! Plus havent got any badges on the back so they dont get a clue :)

Future mods will be usual induction kit, ECU (prob Power FC), and downpipes and de-cat or high flow one, plus fuel injectors and an uprated pump if needed. Also might go for a Scoot bonnet. Will be a while though cause my fuel bill has become a lot higher :), worth it though!

Yeah, i\'ll definately come to some of the club meets, not sure which ones though at the mo. Be nice to see some more RX\'s and the mods people have done, bit of inspiration!

Quick query while im on here, where\'s the most common place to fit a boost gauge? and can anyone recommend any accurate models, or are they all pretty good?

ooh gimmi that bumper! just missing that hehe

J4P RX

Have you got a new sideskirt on now then?

Lee

Andyp

arrived today mate.

Dunno whether to get it on there asap of take some moulds of it so it doesn\'t happen again

Either way i\'m having both of them bonded as I don\'t think the Cwest skirts hold very well with tape and bolts

ScuttleRX

Yeah if you let me know when the July/August meets are i\'ll see if i can pop along.

Come back past dartford on way home from picking up car, sounded good in the tunnel :D

After a quick nose around have found out exhaust is made by Kakimoto Racing.

Anybody know much about this make? I havent heard much about them so dont know their reputation/quality of products.

Fish

If it looks pretty, which you can’t really tell due to the rear bumper and sounds nice (i.e. you like it), it doesn’t really matter.

Some neighbours tend not to like noisy exhausts. Mine however just laugh, and think I\'m mad! Not far wrong mind you. ;)
