Thanks Jay, the pictures below are some from Japan and its amazing how well they do in their climate. Look at the rear arb and the engine bay, its crazy. going to be difficult to keep it that way!
Thanks, Already done Ray, Torque GT do it as standard
I was really surprised at how much tighter this car felt to my hawk, but I think thats UK weather giving it a battering, Driving position is obviously higher and there is more roll. That said with some choice modes ( rear strut brace a given) it will be comparable IMO

Just goes to show how in right environment and conditions, corrosion is almost non- existant on a jdm car.
Even the exhaust on our hawk looks new, given its a 2005 model.

Update on last weekends work, I decided to replace the wing mirror gussets as they were shot and were creating a lot of wind noise.
Once i got one out it was easy to see what the problem was, in fact the wind was pushing through so much the plastic bungs used to seal them from the inside had become loose from all the pushing.
When it came to taking the door cards off this happened.....
revealing this
I knew the speakers were naff and going to be a bit tired but these were completely knackered
Some new speakers in, nothing amazing but certainly a massive improvement over the stock Clarions.

Lovely looking FSTI there buddy. Man, I’m really getting some FSTI envy. Didn’t even know they existed until I joined this forum, now I really want one, they really are one of those once in a while, do everything well, vehicles. If I wasn’t saving for a mortgage I’d be all over an import.
