Never really liked the bronze but loving the black!
I'm slowly getting rid of the other bronze touches!
Previous owner should have been called Bronze pants racing!

No updates on thhe Fozzy apart from opening my garage today to make sure its still there! Had this a year next month spent loads on it and hardly used it. Part of me says sell it and the other part says just leave it in the garage 🤔

Good plan, that'll look great. I'd go for black brembo stickers personally.

Not really thought about white, Not sure it would show up that well against the yellow tho?
Cheers for the suggestion

mines the same as a widetrack sti expect it’s an fsti lol , the alloys stick out a bit , i went from a 245 to a 235 tyre plus had to raise the car about an inch or so , just to stop it rubbing , arches front and back have been rolled professionally , im going to see if they can be rolled about 5 mm then no chance of rubbing , the plus side handling is really good , i think it’s the wider track , plus the addition of a slightly wider tyre , both the fsti have coilovers but the black one handles better, plus as i said a very linear smooth power delivery , the power more than likely helped by richard at fb tuning remap

Yep, will always regret letting that car go, but I needed to at the time. It was my daily driver and common sense prevailed making me buy the new forged one.

Will always miss that car though. With all the suspension mods it was such a direct and responsive car to drive. Really well balanced and a joy.
