Default My Sport...again

I know you members are probably getting a bit fed up of seeing my car and all the mods that you all would like to have...but tough, you are going to have to see it a bit more

I washed and waxed the car last Friday and left it in the garage whilst we where on hols.

Yesterday I went out and took some pictures at a place/house called Castle Ashby, just off the A428, in Northhamptonshire







Finially found a place to stick that 'in memory of Richard Burns' R.I.P





I even brought my own plastic sheep




Some of the parts used



I am happy now.

Next mods are either turbo 2000 seats, bench and door cards or some STi 5/6 seats which I am told are better than the turbo ones. Also some Hella Supertone horns

Jim, long time since I last saw you on the boards mate. Hows tricks?

Thanks mate for saying that. Its nice to know, even n/a sports can cut it with the turbo CG/GF on these boards.

Who knows mate, who knows.

Joe Will: I don't want to put a turbo bonnet onto the car as that is not my intention. Haveing a smooth bonnet I think is the way to go. Less areo drag Its a shame that some of you FMIC'ers have not gone that way.

The JDM plates are pretty orignal idea, that if I admit to, I copied the idea from Daft_Lad who did it first. So its his fault...but well worth it

Cheers all for the kind, loverly comments chaps. Keep them comming.

Doubt it mate, the two kanji (letters) next to the 500 is the city where it is/was registered.

Yours says Kobe
