Snap mate - if the weather's nice and it's a stressy day I nip home at lunchtime and get the beast out, drive it back to work and annoy the bejaysus out of the people at work with the noise and presence PMSL

 

Someone was asking about daily driver fecking yes mine gets used every day

 

My type is a daily driver too - has the stock exhaust and ecutek map on and its quiet as a modern day petrol but goes like stink

 

My previous type r was my daily, this one is a weekend/fun car

 

daily ( if I get home from work in time ) and fun for the weekend

couple of bits to do still

 

Morning people,

I have just sold my forged hatchback WRX which was the family car, and bought a dedicated family car (boring Astra) and more importantly a type r for myself!
Its a bit of a dog tbh but I have big plans for it, and I think I got it for a decent price.

Anyhow I am going to start trawling through this thread for info/ideas, but if anybody has any info on the car please share as the lad I got it off didn't seem to know much at all and I don't believe half the receipts in the folder he gave me.

Cheers,

Carl

 

Don't know much about the car, but I know that's the best colour

 

Nice 😎

 

 

I agree, dark grey is the way of the future,

 

What the he'll are you doing rolling on kahns?

Another from today when I nipped over to tims

 

Grey is nice but white is the fastest color

 

There's some sweet looking type r's on this thread, here's mine v6 v limited

 

temporary wheels mate, although i like wheels nice and simple, not a big fan of multispoke etc



back looking like this now

 

shhh you!!!

 

Picked this up 28/03. In love!
Sorry for the poor photo. It's the only one I have so far!

 

Looks lovely bar the front bumper and kudos on picking the fastest color

 

Haha, thanks. Yes, as much as it has grown on me, I think I'll be going to the standard front bumper eventually/when I find one.

 

Pick my r up this week.16 month its took to complete started from a shell pretty much.410 bhp 400 ft at 1.2 bar.

 

Had a little photoshoot last week. Here are some of the pics

 

Given how many of us our Midlands sort of way we need to get a two door meet going I think

 

Marieto - wow looks fookin gorgeous and the shots are awesome

 

Thanks very much for the kind comments bud - not everyone's cup of tea but I like to be "a bit different" without it being OTT.

 

Can anyone confirm what colour the type R badge should be on a sonic blue car? White/metalic silver or metalic graphite? Im talking standard/factory

 

From Japan to Finland








My new daily. Already with EcuLabs tuned stock ecu (mpg's went from 18 to 28mpg)

 

after a couple of changes

 

 

My MY97 Type R.

2.1 Stroker and a few other bits!







Undecided on the carbon wing and bonnet items. I like the wing mirrors even though you cant really see much out if them!

But looking at the white cars with white spoilers and scoops, I am probably going to go back to white. But will more than likely keep the carbon bits as I like to change things up a little now and again, so one month I will sport carbon bits and the next month back to white!

 

[QUOTE=cossie_eater;11831310]



What exhaust do you have there mate?

 

I'd rid of all the carbon and black bits and paint em white apart from mirrors, I think they make the car chavvyish IMO, carbon is so halfords nowadays.
(I still have my bonnet carbon but it's light lol and I can't be arsed paying to get it painted for me to chip the **** out of it).
