Thanks, and it will be staying like that except for a few tasteful factory option mods I plan to add to it.

Come on now Rob, we all know that WR blue make for the quickest and best cars. White is so yesterday now that it's practically gone out of fashion as quickly as it came in.

Yes very happy indeed to have got the car sorted, I was semi worried that it would sell before I had a chance to even see the pics but now it's mine I am like a pig in poo.

And of course thanks to Stu for putting me onto the car.

Was a joke Glenn mate Noone in their right mind would bring an S204 into the country now as the cost is prohibitive. The registration is more stringent than an S202 as it's under 10 years old, the S202 just needs an Mot and registration submission. You are talking 2.5mill Yen for a Grade 4+ S204 which once landed represents the thick end of 25k.

Thanks Geraint, although Ryan is far worse than me, I am but a student at the feet of a master when it comes to modifying cars compared to Ryan.

His project thread has had more twists and turns than a maze.

He won't be doing any sexual acts around or to my car, he can go and get his own for that.

Thanks Lee, it will be staying essentially as you see it now. The only plans I have other than a UK fuel remap are:

Zunsport lower black grille
Front bumper lip spoiler
Mudflaps
Darker rear window tints

There really is nothing much you can do to these cars to improve the handling as they are fully loaded from the factory.

Yeh, a bug! Gotta love the bug Ty! Looks like a clean example (both do to be fair).

Yours doesn't have the orange reflectors or tinted rear glass Ty?

Right, you and Stu need to look up another S202 that came to a few meets back years ago known as the flying banana.

Wonder if its still around

Very nice mate, good to see your staying within the fold.

Though to get the car abit quicker, put the car in a 20ft container and you'll have it over here with 6 weeks. There are weekly sailings from Japan and it'll cost you about $1100 USD for the container port to port. Its what i do.

It'll cost you about another £350/400 to get it from the port to a local warehouse and cleared and its yours. :-)

I noticed that but it will be having darker tints plus either orange reflectors or the carbon fibre type with STi on them.
