Great write up Harry! And an equally impressive spec. Have never seen those latest generation wheels on a GDB. Enjoy!

How did you get those wheels to fit? I tried to get the wheels from my 2012 STI (same offset and size as 2015) onto my widetrack and couldn't because of the coilovers. By the time they were spaced enough to clear, the wasn't enough wheelnut stud left to get them on securely.

canards look **** imo unless you really need them for downforce on the track but if that's what you like then that's what you like your car and all that

They wouldn't be for me but cars are a very personal thing. The interior is spot on though. I'd like Recaro's and Sabelt harnesses (Or Bride and Takata but much ££££)

I'm waiting for a white RA to come up on the JDM auctions. The wait is killing me!

Hopefully nothing of note, as I've bought that. Picking it up on Monday.

Not sure what happened. I was looking at it on their website thinking about it and it was then listed as sold.

Couple of weeks later or whatever it was re- listed with its price tag. I enquired with them and it was still available. So I did the deal, as there aren't any others in the UK for sale. Miles a bit higher than I'd like, but I can live with it.
