It's a 97 Type R splitter, the one that came with the car had been blended into the bumper in one corner so had to go. Found a great original replacement.

Yea, trying to get my Type R back the way it started... But the splitters are so difficult to find that havent been cut for a front mount.

Lovely car yours BTW

I bought white trim strips (ICP) to fit onto the skirts. My OE ones were a white metallic, but not quite sliver. Are you sticking with black? It took me ages to decide as the front lip spolier we both have has black trim strips. Weird really!

Yeah, sticking with white to match front bumper stripes, white rubber never seems to weather well IMO.

You say that but to be fair, when it only sees daylight for around 10 days (906 miles last year) a year they never discolour. Wish I had time to drive it more.

You make a good point, my R will be tucked away for 99% of its life too. I like the black now.

Picked it up today, all polished. Unfortunately I forgot to get any fog lamp stickers or crystal side indicators, but they're in order now.


















Have to say a massive thanks to Gary at West Herts Customs for the work he/they've done. It really does look better than new!

Wow. Like a clone of mine (albeit 2-dr) lol.

You must be over the moon etc. Have you hooned yet?

Seeing as you've de-tango'd the front indicators, will you be doing the side-repeaters, too? Will you be adding the OEM STi decals to the fog covers?

Yeah, I mentioned it just above stickers and indicators are on order.

Can't drive it hard yet as it's not mapped, hopefully having Syvecs fitted and mapped next month. But yeah totally over the moon with it, can't quite believe it's mine yet.

It must be amazing owning a new condition car, which you yourself has 'created'. The satisfaction/pride/smugness lol must be overwhelming.

I bet she gets some stares (from those in the know).

I bet you're champing at the bit for the map/running in to be sorted...

I wish I could take credit for the actual work that's gone in to it, I've just paid the bills in that respect. But yeah very proud of it.

Can't wait to get engine bay sorted as that's letting car down now.

Thanks mate.

Yeah decalworx, thought I'd give them a try as genuine ones are best part of £100 just for the sides

So.... Looks like the Head Gasket has started to fail.

Plans for the R now include Hawk STI 6 speed set up, which I already have.

Built 2.0, with refreshed STI3 heads,

With full twin scroll set up

That's no different to any ej207 non twinscroll block. Jdm block is same. Which I'm sure we covered this over on RA.com
