But it was time to say good bye and try something new :)

so i picked myself up a RB 182 and i love it so nice to drive and the handling is much better then my saxo! and really nice to drive.

i have a few plans in mind for it Eg brake upgrades, and engine and handling, but coming up soon going to give it a service and getting it like its new!

New grill would look insane on it I think! Keep the badge though, not a fan of debadged grills! Keeping it the same colour?

Saxjoe 24th January 2013 20:18

Really nice mate! I want to get one of these as my next car, need a few more years no claims first though I think! haha :p

yea the exhaust is not in good shape so will need replacing soon!

dolby20 24th January 2013 20:34

This looks tidyyyyyyyy!
Few carbon fibre touches - and you're on to one classy vehicle!
Keep it clean, keep it fresh!

Gandi699 24th January 2013 20:44

what are you going to fit when you change it?

RallyeSportLee 24th January 2013 20:46

Very nice car, can vouch on how it drives compared a saxo/106 as it drove alot nicer than my old 106 GTI


Love those pics too.... ;)

not sure yet i have been looking around i would like something a bit like my saxo zorst but theres nothing around like that, so might just get a new OE back box with decat.

Wouldnt bother with OEM as its extremely expensive (700 quid or something last time I investigated) and its mild steel. You really need to drop the rear beam down to remove the standard exhaust anyway, its only a few bolts and the shock bolts, as the standard exhaust doesnt have a joint between the rear boxes and the back of the cat. You could just the cut OEM exhaust is what I did and the remove. Most aftermarket systems have a join there so its easy to fit, plus they are usually stainless and unless you go for something ultra top end like an orbisound exhaust you can get a decent brand system for 350 to 500 quid or so. Yozzas are popular as are the scorpion systems, plus others like Ktec etc etc

thanks for the info! yea i was looking at scorpion systems as there well priced! im just keeping my eye out for a good used one to come up as i dont want to pay top price haha i think my mini might need welding as well haha

RS192 can be a pain to fit, I've got the single box SRN019 I think it is with imola tips. Dead easy to fit that as its single box. Was about £350~, be cheaper second hand its just finding them

Whirly 26th January 2013 15:52

Tidy 182 mate, if your thinking about an exhaust id go for a yozza sound pretty sweet!
