Its never stealth at the pump. Get some funny looks clambering over the rollcage getting out.

I\'ve always considered every mod really. I quite like the stock look.

there are those that seem to mod their cars as if they where doing it blindfolded but then sometimes it works lol
I am maybe a little more impulsive with my 8 but then we dont have the luxury of big power on a renny............................................yet

My opinion is that plain colours such as white or black dont get noticed no matter how good they are underneath.

Tell me about it. No one really ever notices my car too

hmm.. meets.. theres usually one down chedder gorge on sunday evenings.
nice mix of cars, nto sure if mag worthy but good mix:
supercharged stock looking s2k on yellow rims "slammed"
very nice black crx
"slammed" blue jdm look EP civic
pimp blue legacy etune II on chromes
S15
Orange FD running silly power and looks stunning

If I\'m honest, I would love to see a piece on FB RX7\'s, or maybe a full rotary spread, from Cosmos to RX8s and everything in between.

Ultimately, give me the old school cars, there just aren\'t enough of them featured imo.

My opinion is that plain colours such as white or black dont get noticed no matter how good they are underneath. I think you should get some cool stickers on there, or a partial wrap of something ludicrous.

I can help with that! lol

oh btw, on local meets etc, the tunnel runs that are held every now and then are good places to snap some photos, there\'s a supra one coming up on the 15th October, there\'s usually a few others around, just haven\'t heard about them yet, of course the Miss Banzai ones, next one may be in March.

there\'s also a meet at the Ace cafe on the 29th oct I think for outlaw jap club.

If I\'m honest, I only rarely buy magazines nowdays, they\'re just so expensive for not a lot of entertainment, loads of adverts, not a lot of reviews on cars/events/products etc, any products that do get mentioned aren\'t for my car...

although, saying that, how much is advertising in JP?

Funny how my other car is Black !

I want to register my vote for Nik\'s car.  I think the effort that Nik has put into is particularly noteworthy :yes
 
It\'s definitely a story worth telling, even if it is a bit painful for Nik to tell haha.

[Nik da Greek]

Cheers, Steve. Fair to say that yours would make a proper feature car, too, being easily one of the best FDs in the country (not to mention one of the most expensive lol).

That\'s the problem with the JP guy asking for cars on MRC, of course. If he wants FDs, most of the best cars owners don\'t come on here any more and are on FDUK, and those who are still struggling on, if they have a build thred it\'s in the Members Section and therefore can\'t be seen. That was why I stopped bothering to update my thread on here, I realised it was a waste of time because no-one could actually read the damn thing :confused:

[od404]

Dunno mate, reckon you\'ve spent almost as much over the life of the car!
 
I agree with you on the project thread though. I stopped bothering with mine on here because the mojority of people who were bothered about reading about my car were already on FDUK and there didn\'t feel like I was reaching a different audience by posting here. Maybe my fault for posting in the members only section, but that could be something for the team here to consider, having a projects section available to all forum members...
 
Thanks for the comments on my car though mate, I do sometimes think that while it has been fairly well modified in terms of exterior/interior, the fact that it\'s lacking anything special in the engine department would tend to put off magazines from featuring it.
 
Still, not wanting to miss an opportunity to show it off... :wiggle
 

[Nik da Greek]

What, your show-winning car, dude? I\'d be showing it off if I were you lol. In fact, let me help you there hahaha. @the OP, feature Steve\'s car, it\'s fantastic :Giggle (YHM by the way, Matt)

Hi guys,
Loads of really nice cars on here thanks for the amount of replies. It has been bought to my attention by Nik that he has been messed about in the past by the old editorial side of the Magazine and for that I am truly sorry. I will be completely honest with you and say that if we approach anyone with regard to a feature we will go through with what we propose but sadly that couldn\'t be said for the previous team. We have taken the magazine forward in the past 10mths and have definitely upped the quality of the content as well as the editorial so it would be worthless if we are judged on the mistakes that have been made by others in the past. If you haven\'t seen the new mag then please pop your head into WhSmith and let us know what you think of the new setup. With regard to your car Nik I have mailed you and hopefully this has resolved the animosity that you quite rightly felt. See you in Guildford on the 6th Nov!

[Grant Monkhouse]

Tell me about it. No one really ever notices my car too
 

By no means am I knocking yours or Shauns cars, or any standard looking ones for that matter. I think they look great, even more so if they have dropped low. My next FD will either be standard looking or full on wide bodykit, anything in between is just not good enough for me anymore. Lol.

[shaunwil]

Can fully understand. I\'m happier spending on the go faster bits at the minute. It may change in the future !
