if you left the kit as it was you would have to take the back end off to change a bulb. if you cheat and cut out a panel in the boot, then it will make life easier in the future

where in cornwall are you?

How did the rear setup set you back? Does it use a hydralic handbrake?

Dude the car looks absolutely amazing; the fortune kit really does set that car off. Its not very often people can put the work in and pull a work of art off like this the whole car shines. I really like what you have done with it, now all you need to do is quit your current job and set yourself up with your own business selling replica parts for the Tokyo drift movie lol. I must say really nice work well done. I hope you enjoy your new toy it and I am sure you will have many people looking at it and also taking photos of it treating it as the Tokyo Drift Show Car.

Being honest I tried to not go crazy so as to try to keep it reliable. Thats why I kept the twins. so I uprated the injectors and added a couple along with HKS-RS induction, new intercooler Blitz NUR spec decat exhaust etc.

I will see about some internal pics soon. just having the ICE install so after that I guess. I fitted some Cobra Misano\'s and matched the leather on them for a full leather re-trim

Did the misano\'s fit ok? Thinking of getting some. Oh yea car looks cool dude I bet you will drive it like a grandad. But you need more power to match the looks dude should have gone single! :burnout

XMN · September 04, 2007, 09:59:28 AM

Nahhh i dont think so, its not my style of driving

in a word no they dont, due to the issues with mine, cobra dont recomend them for the rex. mine was the prototype for the sub frames. you can get them in but you need to mod the door cards etc

Pip dyno\'d it at a little under 350, that will do for now
