Jekyll's RB182 Progress Thread

[dann2707]

Epic progress as always sir! Pictures are cracking too.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Cracking pics. Glad the unit went in ok for you.
Nice little updates [emoji106] [emoji41]

 

[Djw John]

Needs more pics tbh.

Very nice mate, does look cracking there.

 

[Jekyll]

Thank you guys.

Also Dan, there was no dash removal needed! And I found your 30 seconds to Mars album in the player, you want it sent back? I've already copied it onto my iTunes!

 

[Gus]

Wow the car is looking incredible.

Good choice of song to test the sound system. Love that old mark ronson song too.

 

[Jekyll]

It's the first one that came on. Modern (ish) track with a old skool cool sound.

It doesn't sound to bad in the car, but I'd like to upgrade the speakers at some point.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Good good. The wires I had with mine seemed so OTT and unnecessary! I literally tried for an hour, tried zip ties to compact the bundles etc etc. Just would not go in! Only way I could get it in was dash top off, even then it barely went in! Lol

Nah, it's a great album, but my wife has a copy too. I can duplicate that one [emoji106] cheers

 

[Inequality Street]

Looks great Mark! Puts mine to shame. Mines officially off the road 31st May, then I'll be trying to catch you up!

Headunits are a right PITA on these. I bought a half size Pioneer from @imprezaworks a while ago, only about 3 inches deep, is brilliant.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

3 inch is all you need IIRC

 

[imprezaworks]

It's what you do with it aparantly/hopefully.

 

[Inequality Street]

3 inch is all you need IIRC

Always done the trick for me!

 

[182_steve]

Great progress once again :up:
Just had all the stereo changed in mine and does make a big difference doesn't it, i see i'm not alone in having to have the steering wheel controls working haha........ that Pioneer is actually very similar to the one I have in my 'daily' car, is a decent bit of kit!

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks Steve

Yeah I like it Steve and it doesn't look too out of place.

Also, stalk control was a must! It was just confusing which one to get. I actually got the wrong one at first (003) but I spoke to the company I bought it from and they swapped it free of charge and the correct one (004/link above) was sent out and fitted promptly :smile:

 

[182_steve]

Yeah that's the thing, has to blend in :up: I didn't want a bling bling all flashing one in mine either so actually had my old Alpine fitted that doesn't have USB or even AUX but i'm old skool with cd's 😂 so it's fine!

 

[Jekyll]

Old skool cool mate

 

[182_steve]

You know it lol!

Saw you mentioned about speakers as well btw, this is what I've just had put in mine just in case it's of interest, sounds amazing and has a skinz kit (sound proofing) in both doors too... all in my project thread

 

[Jekyll]

Yes, I have read that Hertz stuff is decent.

I'll have little read on tomorrow lunch break at your project thread Steve. Might get some inspiration

I'm after some 2118's if someone wants to swap there's for my turinis.

Ultraleggeras would look better mate

 

[Akay]

Just FYI, you can fit 6.5 inch speakers in the front doors, with a slight trim to the doorcard. Just make sure you get a shallow-ish speaker as the baskets can hit the window/stop it coming fully down. I went full whack and ran new wire into the doors (through a multiplug) and to the tweeters (also replaced), with crossovers and tiny Vibe litebox 2 channel amp under the drivers seat. A few sheets of deadening in the doors and it all sounded great, bassy enough as well with the bigger speakers.

 

[Jekyll]

@Christ Almighty Haha, you still not had any luck? I want 15's anyway.

@Akay Thanks for the heads up. Not sure what i'll do yet, but that is good to know.

Hey Mark, my car will be off the road soon, so I can chuck it on stands. If you want to borrow my 182 allosy whilst you sell your turini's and buy the other alloys you want, let me know

 

[Jekyll]

I may take you up on that offer Ryan! Thank you.

 

[Inequality Street]

I may take you up on that offer Ryan! Thank you.

Its officially off the road Tuesday or Wednesday next week mate. Drop me a text if you want them. No terrible rush for them back either, as the car won't be moving until my Garage is sorted, which will take me a month or 2.

 

[Mr Plums]

If i sell my ultras, ill buy your turinis, you buy 2118's, give Rye his rims back and were all good.

Do you want to buy my ultras mate? I'll pay a friend thats works in a body shop to do them any colour you wish.

£450 with rainsport 3's 5/6mm tread all round.

 

[Mr Plums]

How much you want for yours with tyres mate?

I'm fine thanks

 

[SEW97]

Looks lovely mate, very jealous!

 

[Jekyll]

I'd be wanting £500 buddy, which I think is acceptable considering the condition, tyre tread and brand of tyres. I've seen them go for £450 in worse condition than mine or trophy ones, plus mine are cup offset.

 

[Jekyll]

I let my GF drive the car the other day as I was helping my sister move. It's good seeing other people drive your cars as you can actually see what it looks like. It looked good on the turinis, so I'm thinking that I'll keep them on the RB.

Not much has happened really. We go on holiday in 2 weeks so I'm keeping the costs down. I did however buy a new filter. Decided with a ramair one with neck, to feed into my silicone bend. It sounds so much better now, just like my old ITG setup. Happy days.

I also bought myself a cool air freshener to hang up. I know the smell will only last about 6 hours, but it looks cool

Once we're back off holiday, we have CSF to go too, which we are camping at, (well, hotel Friday night and camping Saturday night) then after that I plan to do the engine and caliper painting. I also got these of @Matt e so may fit these too while the inlet is off :smile:

I have a knocking around the gearbox, so I will do a nut/bolt check soon too.

 

[Djw John]

Nice, liking that IK setup. You got the details of the IK? I assume it's a take on the fatty one?

 

[imprezaworks]

Is this the one I mentioned, ref the ik?

 

[RMDavis]

Looking forward to a catch up at CSF bud!

You could have cleaned the sliver over spray off of the coolant hose.

 

[Jekyll]

I'll link you up tomorrow john as I'm going beddybyes in a mo.

Dan, it's not. I typed in 70mm rain air filter on eBay and this came up. It was the one I screenshot'd in the fatty thread.

Rob, me too. Hopefully it'll be even better than last year too

 

[Jekyll]

Scott, it was only a quick tidy up. It will be done better once I'm back from hols.

 

[182_steve]

Bet the Ramair makes a noticeable noise, I fitted one on my old puma'd zetec-s fiesta and that made a right row lol!

I'd like to know this too actually, looks ace! @Dr Jekyll come on duuuuddee! 😂
