scoobykev Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Nice comment Kev.......just cause it needs a bit of bodywork doesn't mean bin it!! i'm not saying bin it but the sills are a structural part of the car aren't they? surely there's no point in throwing loads of money at any car that is going to be never ending. How does the rest of the underside look? I'm not slagging your car, just providing my tuppence worth on what i'd do.
ciaranrb5 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) To be honest the only reason it needs new sills is because some t**t has been using a jack with a small surface area and knackered both the rear jacking points. They have been all dented and bashed since I bought the car but both sides have now developed holes. The rest of the underside of the car is okish condition no holes but could do witha good under seal again as the original stuff it falling off. Edited December 9, 2009 by ciaranrb5

If he's doing the sills himself its a time consuming job ie been in for a mot and failed or any rotten part on the car its not just a case of a bit of weld here and there its fully welded up job thats what the mot won't .I hated welding car's when i worked for a blacksmith Edited December 9, 2009 by Dipsy

BalliSTIc Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Who said that? Might keep the RB5 and buy a Spec C more likeSorry mate... oversight on my part, based on the following from Rich's Type-R thread:-Bought a few more bits for the RB5 so it will be staying for definate. Also need to get myself a runabout so I can take the car off the road and dismantle it and fit all the goodies ready for our little dual at knockhill next year Didn't spot that it was such an old post...But looks like we'll have a NEW Tayside "Two-scoobs" bod if THAT'S your game. NUR-Spec all-round and s*d the neighbours I say *lol* Glyn

But looks like we'll have a NEW Tayside "Two-scoobs" bod if THAT'S your game. NUR-Spec all-round and s*d the neighbours I say *lol* Glyn Idealy I want a Spec 'C' as an everyday car and a track orientated Classic. Don't know if I want to wreck a RB5 and rip it to bits and turn it into a track car??? Or buy a V4 RA and use that instead?
evil evo Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) Hi you got to try the evo , you can always go back to a scoob , having had a few variants of scobs i now have two evos and straight out of the box the evo win hands down as a drivers car scoob a great car from a to b and fun on track and your wife and kids can drive them with no problem , the evo takes a wee bit more consentration on road and i find my wife struggles with the way the power is delivered but the daughter loves the ayc and likes getting it sideways and on track its a superb beast , i get more smiles from the evo than i did the scoobs but give it a try and tell us what you think if you dont do it will always be in the back of your mind. cheers Don Edited December 20, 2009 by evil evo
