Well I have not been around a great deal this year. With the birth of my little boy to keep me occupied.
Took a year off from the show scene as i have been concentrating on my show winning VW mk2 golf. It has been great fun goin back to my roots as regards cars(plus normal prices for parts). But after gettin my rebuild done it is good to be back.
As many of you will know i have owned this car for over 4 years and spent a small fortune on it. I\'m lucky to have a good friend who can get me any part from japan at a very reasonable price(which helps). I have tried to keep it subtle and make it lok like it would not be out of place on the Wangan.
I have a fetish for anything from FEED and Carbon it is gettin out of hand but I\'m resisting the kit so as not to upset Chris;)

Thats one awesome Rex :)
Ta mate :) You could always invest in their new kit...
It\'s looking really good, you have great taste!
How much vibration do you get with the solid bushes? I have the solid engine and diff mounts, below 3k I feel the vibrations, but it disappears after that.
really do love that mate ive just got the feed bumper
Well I dont recognise it at all! good work, like the single turbo ;)
Very slick!! They do look great in silver!!:Thumbs-up
Lovin that. Looks very nice. How can something be subtle yet in your face at the same time. I like it.

Do get quite alot of Vibrations but it does handle superbly, feels very stable.

It has certainly changed. I had thought about sellin but not for the prices they are goin for now.
I remember when i got this off you there were hardly any on the road.
Jay knows I make no secret that I think he has made himself one of the nicest subtle "Street Racer" style FD\'s on the road in the UK :Thumbs-up :Thumbs-up
Looks really nice mate!!
Did you get any problems with police with those big canards sticking out on the side??
That is one nice looking rx. great work
Wow!
Er, and wow!
very nice. suprised you havent got a cf bonnet with the amount of cf on there :D
Quote from: shafstervery nice. suprised you havent got a cf bonnet with the amount of cf on there :D
Must say I have been thinkin about it but still unsure?????????
Opinions??????????
a scoot cf bonnet would look nice.... but then again it looks nice without.
just thought that with all the cf going on, it might be worth doing.
I think Mark\'s Scoot bonnet with just the vents detailed in carbon fibre looks really good.
Thats what i was thinkin of doin. Sprayin a Carbon bonnet but leavin the vents.

Just so you all know, Scoot only makes the bonnet in FRP (plastic) and not carbon fibre, all of the CF ones are copies, some have the most hideous fit. :)
I think a CF bonnet would look great on this either sprayed with the vents left cf or full carbon. The AD9 bonnet would look better than the scoot IMO though.
