Glad we could twist your arm to get a JDM twin scroll 
Ok it doesnt have the "burble" but I really do like the sound these cars make and the power band it fantastic, people think the 2.5 is better but I dont 
All the best with your new toy just remember these have 6 month service intervals like the classics

Yes, it's an argument that I was glad I lost Tony (you forced me to do a bit of research
).Thanks!

So what colour did you guys reckon for the wheels, and what's the difference between anthracite and gun metal?
Am I the only person that thinks that different wheel makers seem to have different ideas as to what colour "anthracite" is?!
I like Luckyscoob's black hawk with "anthracite wheels". Maybe he'll post a pic of it here!

If I'd kept it, I would have put on some 18" Rota grid drifts either in bronze or a dark polish (not chrome, but like a smokey look)

They look good in darker tones or black spokes and a polished lip

Funny thing is, a few mins ago I was looking at GRAs in bronze!
Will only powder coat this year - your Goodyears are in good nick and we Scots have reputation to maintain.
Dunno if some powder coaters do custom colours?

So does anyone know the top speed of a Type 20 with 360bhp, assuming it weighs 1390kg (actually I'm adding a second sunvisor, so 1390.3kgs!)?

Congratulations mate, that is one nice car, and for what its worth I think you went the right way with a JDM over a UK. I love my UK, but given the choice again, JDM it would be.
Wheels, as you know I had my gold ones painted before going for the GT1's. To be honest I went into our local bodyshop, had a look through the colour swatches and picked the colour that way. There are so many different shades and i wanted a dark metallic, not too Black and not too silver. If its any help, mine where painted in a Toyota Metallic grey and I think they were spot on. They are about the sam colour as on the RB320.
Good luck with the car
Oh, and as if by magic!
Close up of the wheel
and now with GT1's (and prodrive springs)

So were the old ones literally painted rather than powder coated? Wondering if you lose colours options with Powder coating? Mine actually need refurbished.
Anyway going to Pentland Powder Coating next week to see what options they can offer.....

They were painted. I was lucky in that a mate does it for a living. Mine needed some minor refurbing too, we rubbed them down, primed, painted and laquered them.

Maybe you're just a better driver? Guess there's a fair weight difference though.
