Love this car, such a clean example. Definitely a nice exhaust would liven it up. Drop me a message if need something lifted, can try sort that in England. I wouldn't be buying new from Japan right now as it's just too expensive with the rate but some really good second hand ones, though plenty in England too to choose from. Fujitsubo would be a nice balance..

NUR spec will give you a headache unless you like really loud exhausts.
Full decat turbo back prodrive is perfect but I’m biased lol. I Have a wee video if you want idea of how it sounds

Parcel arrived yesterday evening.

Fitted up this morning after much faffing aligning it and reusing the 3 clips either side of the bumper, which meant the holes in the splitter needed to be a bit wider too. Bolted up in the middle.

Quick rinse to remove the flies and dust.

The flies were reapplied here after a quick run to the shops.

Really needed this for the front. Have some touch up paint here too which I'll get round to applying at some point to the bonnet and side skirt.

Torque GT parts are running Fujitsubo as their brand of the week. I'm gonna get the DC5 RM-01A while it's on, I get an extra 5% off on top of this week's 10% discount.

Have the car moved on now, from memory it was around 420x100mm, if you have a hawk, use the pic - it sat nice with the outer dimensions of the central grill section

Go for it, would look well being a square on an import.

Not much other than another oil change done roughly 2.5k after the last.

Got a massive stone chip on the bonnet which should have been repainted on Thursday but it will be done in a few weeks. Touched it in for now.

Stonechips suck, but at least shows she is used as intended instead of tucked away in a garage all her life.

I got one on my Civics bonnet about 2 weeks after it had been painted, really sucked, still there now many years later but its not too noticeable.

It would probably have 5k+ miles instead of 2.5k under my ownership if it wasn't for lockdown. It was bought to be a daily driver :grinning:

Took it out for two runs on Sunday there with @Ben 6 and @mcmurray then Subaru meet later in the day

Throwing up some photos. Few miles done over the end of summer.

Roadtrip in July. Down to Newport & Mulranny then to Dunaff in Donegal. Car got a bit dirty in the process.

Both car and photos are Awesome. Great to see it being used as intended.




Where is this photo taken? Looks a great spot for a drive.

It's the road into Sligo from Enniskillen. Most of the journey there is decent and further west after Sligo there are some great roads. Ballysadare on to Dromore West is my favourite, could go back and forward on it all day.
