Taste police here please
see u say that image doctor but id be interested to see what you drive to be that critical of a car thats had a lot of work done to it. That kit alone is expensive, not exactly cheap halfords tat.
I dont like his choice of bright colours inside etc but i think thats down to taste, slating it is harsh as he prob uses scoobynet afterall

A few things I think you should know about this car.
Firstly, I normally hate any car that has been over done with bolt on body kits and the like but nothing can prepare you for seeing this car in the metal. It is simply gobsmacking.
Secondly... this guy done all this work himself and it is no kit. He has spent 16 hours a day on it for the last 4 weeks. It is a Type R with 22b front wings and he moulded the rear panels himself. Its a tuned Type R engine at the moment with a 22b engine and loom waiting to go in.
I do admit the airbrush work is not my cup of tea and nor is the interior but the yellow with gold fleck paint work is stunning and everything seems to match so perfectly that all the things I normally would'nt like are forgotten about.
And yes it did win best of show on the Saturday and was snapped by Banzai and Jap performance mags so expect to see more of him soon.
P.S. He doe'nt have internet access so you're all safe to slag it off as much as you want

looked a lot better in the 'flesh', yellow had a metallic fleck in it.
lot of time and effort spent on it, each to their own.
the guy hand built the wide arches himself apparently.
btw it won car of the day on saturday....

Car looked amazing in the flesh! Why must people slate others hard work? Granted, I wouldn't do it to mine - as its not my cup of tea.
As said before, it wont be forgotten in a hurry!
Individuality is a great thing!

Reducing a ten-ton boulder to 1mm diameter fragments using a toffee hammer between one's teeth would be INCREDIBLY hard work, but it would have very little value. Unless you like really big piles of sand.
I have just noticed this thread..... and again i see ppl slating the sport!!
**** all wrong with the sport!! i'm doing a lot to mine, and hope it gets noticed one day!! **** all wrong with the car that so many ppl seem to dislike, if he spent that much time and effort on it, then FAIR PLAY... Hope we do see it in the Jap mags.!

steady on pal! I've owned two of them in the past... bloody great car!
Be honest, you gotta be missing something if you buy a car for the street cred it gives you!! You buy a car cos it's a bloody good car to drive... like the sport. I miss mine sometimes...

my m8 has a sport, painfully slow but they handle well and are nice cars to run about in. With awd transmission loss though you would have thought subaru would have given them more power...... thought then again the same could be said for the uk turbos :lol
