Thats a nice christmas present! Make sure you keep us updated with your progress.

Will do. At the moment it is a bit too loud for me so looking forward to seeing it resprayed all black as should make it a little more subtle.

Cheers for the comments all.

The wheels are very nice and a lucky addtion on the car as I didnt expect them to be such low offset to begin and thought there would be spacers, etc to help them fill the arches.

The mirrors though are a favourite gadget for me though as they still retain the electric adjustment. I was expecting that!

I will be selling the Chargespeed front bumper (its genuine). I dont know for sure exactly when but have the RE Amemiya front bumper I want in mind and just trying to sort something with 2 to 3 suppliers.

Part One of this project got completed yesterday.

About 10 days ago I dropped the car to the bodyshop to get fully resprayed in black as this was the original colour of the car and I wanted to lose the yellow and black scheme :2Confused

I am pretty please with the results. The car still needs a proper valet, clean, detail as this has not been done since it came in from Southampton Docks in late November.

Next on the agenda is to get the rest of the service done and get the car mapped for UK fuel for the Apexi ECU.

Here are some photos, not the best and wont win prizes but you get the idea!






Still waiting to get a few parts back from the bodyshop also like the Re Amemiya rear lights and also the vented drivers side headlight cover I bought from here a week or so ago that is getting sprayed up.

if you decide to get rid of the bonnet... i have a stock black one with flush fits i would happily swap lol! i want the r magic bonnet to go with my rmagic bumper lol... or a feed one :(

also polish the lips up on your wheels they look sad all dirty :( car looks nice though!! it would of been a tough call with either going black or going yellow for me, black yellow and white are my fav fd colours... i prob would of gone yellow and made an initial d rep lol!

Cheers for the comments.

I think black or white are my favourite colours on a fd from the cars I have seen around so far. However I do like some of the custom colours Ive seen like the purple wide body in the for sale section at the moment.

The bodyshop where I got it done were surprised I got it resprayed as they liked the two tone effect but it was a little too lairy for me personally.

Yeah wheels need a good clean, with the cold weather not done alot. Need to go and buy some decent alloy metal polish.

I dont have the spoiler anymore as did a deal with Martin when I bought the car. Its for sale here.

Having just got the bonnet sprayed up I be keeping it I am afraid.

Bit of an update.

Firstly the car is now registered.

Secondly took the car to the team at Re Worx today in Portsmouth and got some work done.

Changed the oil, changed the oil filter, changed the leads to some new performance leads, changed the fuel filter, replaced the belts and got a dyno run done and a tune up.

Few jobs have come out of it like replacing the expansion tank, which Re Worx noticed is showing its age, etc so will get this sorted in the new year.

Also found out it has a Re Amemiya front anti roll bar so something else from the RE A catalogue.

Happy with the results but still lots to do.

Couple of videos  of the dyno run from the camera, it made 339 bhp at the flywheel with a conservative tune.

Click on the image for the video.









So next on the agenda is fitting the Auto Exe dished steering wheel when it arrives, sorting that RE Amemiya front bumper I want and probably before that the mechanical tidy up jobs with Re Worx. Probably at the same time I get the diff oil and gearbox oil changed so I know its done.

Only fun bit was driving it home today in the snow around Gatwick, which was interesting with the ....ty Jap tyres on it on the hills so also on agenda will be sorting some different decent tyres. Even treating the throttle pedal like I was treading on egg shells didnt seem to work on a couple of occasions.
