The thing that annoys me most about this car is he's spent £40000 making it look ****! He could have built one awesome subaru with 40 grand!

The wheels are absolutely gash!
Chrome wheels look so tacky, and so does that paint job!

I can appreciate all the time and effort gone into it, 6 years ago I would have liked it (when I was 19), but not feeling that at all.

And the quad exhausts just looks plain silly imo

On the positive side, it's an RA and I bet is sounds loud as **** with the quads,lLouder than any scooby with a Blitz Nur Spec

It's really not my cup of tea but he's put allot of time in to something he likes so i have to give him marks for effort . What i can't understand is why spend all that money on the outside and **** all on the engine fmic dump valve but no mention of a remap. bet you gonna get some nice pops etc from the gash exhaust because the fueling will be all over the shop.


Just seen the bit that said AFTER MARKET ECU

the i.c.e is extremely well built, full marks for his sound install,

most scoobies lower and change the wheels, personal taste chrome it was the thing a while back

and the exhaust, 4 is overkill, 1 - 4 inch would have been enough

morettes or crystal pack lights normal, on a classic nothing too out of the ordinary to change your front light setup

widebody kit on a classic hhm well if it isnt 22b no one favours steering off course from an original factory fit

colours bannana yellow or flip pack was the rage a while ago, now where back to white again taste change with the wind, really that vehicle isnt that wild except for the colour and exhaust.

IMHO 6500 for the spray , 750 for the wheels 500 for the ice install - the car then is only 2,250 cheap RA.

I wouldn't be seen in it though.....

The RA is an individual car in standard form mate, you don't need to butcher it like that. If your going to spend money, spend the money on keeping it standard in mint condition. You will find there will be a lot more kudos to be had. As it looks at the moment it would only look good to some chavs bint in McDonalds car park and Ronald McDonald would be tossing himself off!!
