alastair Posted 25, June 2014 Report Share Posted 25, June 2014 Hey everyone, been lurking a lot on the forums recently, thought I'd introduce myself and my ride! Finally got my photos done and am keen to show my car. I have recently acquired my second 172 in less than twelve months, it's not surprising that I've found my way back to the RSC, as I'm pretty damn pleased with the car. 2003 model in black. It's the perfect combination of performance, handling, and importantly, fuel economy. Coming from an E36 2.8 that got 13L/100km on a good day, the difference in economy is great. I bought the car with the following carried out: Exhaust: 182 Manifold Full 2.5 inch 182 exhaust High Flow Cat K-Tec Unsilenced Centre Section K-Tec muffler Suspension/Bracing: Raceland coilies Rear Sway Bar Front/Rear OMP Strut Braces KTR Camber Bolts KTR Top Mounts Engine, etc.: CAI with feed to bumper + carbon fibre enclosure/heat shielding Full silicone Forge Motorsport hose kit TDC sensor upgrade KTR Upper/lower engine Mounts KTR Upper/lower gearbox mounts Magnecor leads RS Tuner Brakes: Front slotted rotors w/ new wheel bearings New OEM rear rotors w/ bearings Ferodo pads Other/Cosmetic: Genuine updated RS badge Immaculate 182 wheel w/ working cruise control White spoiler brake light KTR Smoked side repeaters w/ silvertec bulbs Wheels: Currently sitting on standard wheels, but with the car I got some 16' Speedy FIN Lite's which will be going on as soon as I get them sorted with new tyres. Done a few small cosmetic things myself: Front grille/fog light surrounds gloss black White badging (including 2.0 16v moulding emblems) Engine Cover delete Euro plates Plans: Polish manifold (tips anyone?! haha) Yellow Foggies Short shifter (opinions?) Speaker upgrades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4BxrdAIIu8 Sound clip if you're interested. To be honest I'm probably leaving some things out, but thats all I've got at the moment. Not sure if the PO is on the forums or not but never know, maybe so. Thanks for reading, enjoy the flicks! Also this forum seems like a great community, I'd be definitely keen to rock an OzRS sticker if they're available.

Tommo Posted 26, June 2014 Report Share Posted 26, June 2014 Don't do the short shifter. Yet a Yanoo stiff shift instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
