Ok im really not sure what to do with the rex other then drive it of course ;) I have a 95% standard type rz which from what i have read and been told is really quite rare would it be a crime to modify this what do you think gave it a good clean and got a friend to take some pics have a look see allthough you most likely have seen it before

Leave it looking standard, just make it quicker and more reliable

Lovely rims mate - what sort of mileage is on it?

I would Just keep the mods subtle, but then i like the stock body look.

As for being rare? Now UK specs are rare and people don\'t usaly think twice about tweeking them so its down to your own taste i guess??

i personally would put a mad kit on it..... but thats my taste

The only mod I would make to it would be replacing the bumper with a standard one.  100% stock & 100% mint.  Very nice car you have there.

I too love the stock look, 99 front end, barearsed, 18" ce28\'s or TE37\'s then get it slammed to the floor and fit youre big single turbo, to4z with all supporting mods :chat

That should sort you.

P.S. sell me your seats ;)

I think i agree ill go down the route of spending cash on it to get it as mint as possible rather then changing the look of it maybe just refresh it a little 99 spec bumper etc does anyone have pics of a old style bumper next to a 99? also i have a amemiya bumper i allready bought for it might be up for sale soon lol ill wait to see some pics of the 99 vs the old style thanks for the advise guys
p.s ill never sell the seats so there :p

Jimjitsu

dont worry about posting pics i found some :)

Another vote for keeping it clean and original - this is pretty much the way I\'m going with mine as well, actually.

Good idea regarding TE37s, oddly enough I\'m waiting for a set from Japan :D.

Did someone say stock with CE28s ?!!!!?

I think the bodywork you should keep very subtle if you do make any changes, and make some performance upgrades, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump etc so you can turn the boost up a little.  Also a Apexi Power FC and commander are great mods, can then keep an eye on your temps as the stock water temp gauges are rubbish, also can get the power fc mapped to use uk fuel, better performace and will run alot better than on a standard map

I agree with Sweetiewells. A respray, refurb the wheels and some performance mods and I\'ll buy her back off you :-)
