This is my old tommy Kiara styled jap import Sti version 5, i had a decent spec on it runnning HKS exhaust , de-catted down pipe , HKS ground earth system , red top race battery , Quikshift racing Taipain CAI system , quick shifter , HKS BOV , silicone hoses, HKS FCD and an Apexi turbo timer, Brembo grooved disc and mintex pads.

Styling was STi with addition of Tommy Kiara front bumper , spioler and grille it also had the elec folding wing mirrors but i was never sure if they were std or not , inside there were HKS gauges and a momo steering wheeland gear ****.
Pics dont show it very well but the paint was a bit special i think , like a slightly metal flake cadburys purple . In the pics you can see the daft shopping list (parts it genuinly had) but i took these off once it arrived with me.


some time later i tainted the front indicators and repeators and for a while ran a FMIC set up with water spray system but i had this removed before i sold the car, all work was carried out by a friend at a local jap specialist company , with exception of the body work which was as tommy kiara intended when i came over on the boat.
might not be to every ones liking but i loved this car at the time, still do !

Grooves in the rear bumper, latter ones didn't have them, and the light clusters look different, didn't think they did a late tommi kaira version either, thought they were early Sti2 etc..Apart from the M20B....

hmm you ve got me thinking now then , i was under the impression the tommy kiara stuff was a mod by its orignal jap owner ! So there were tommy kiara models available from the factory was there ? , sure this was a v5 though maybe a 4 but sure it was nt as early as a 2! ill try to see / remember what its reg was could have sworn it was R reg / 98 can be certain now though sold it nearly a yr n half ago n had a few other motors since then.

Definately not a TK rear bumper or rear spoiler and the rear bumper id say is post 99/00. I belive he rear bumper to a TK is somewhat simular to the 22b rear bumper.

ah now i never said it had a tommy rear bumper , but the spioler was defo , had the stamped in logo on it etc
