Not a scooby but still Japanese
NO flaming please, I am on the hunt for an Sti Version 8 
- Ideally I would be looking for a swap if anyone is looking to go Honda 
Current spec.
Interor :
Some photos in no particular order..
This is how it looked when I bought it.
I then added the wind deflectors.
I then fitted the Gruppe M and other engine bling that I had left over from my DC5 sale.
Gruppe M
SFS intake hose
Spoon carbon plug cover
Mugen socks
Buddyclub oil cap
Spoon radiator cap
Dc sports battery tie bar.
:arrow:
The scuttle is a one off, it is not the carbon scoop but instead a fibreglass one.
This one infact
Here's the how to guide
Used the gruppeM scoop as a cast.
A)
Cover the scoop with cling film on outside / top.
Spread a thin layer of fibre glass on the cling film, press flat and smooth with a second piece of film a leave to dry. This is not the final piece it is a slightly oversized template which will be molded into in the inside.
B)
Once dry seperate the new fg piece and attach it temporarily to the panel with some v tiny screws. cover the inside of the newly attached piece with more cling film, ensure that the film only covers the inside of what would have been the carbon firbe scoop area.
C)
Spread fibre glass across the back of the panel where the GruppeM box meets the scuttle up into the scoop mold which should be covered with cling film. Make sure this is thin and even.
Because the temporary mold was taken from the outside, and you are now spreading on it's inside, the resulting scoop will be the same size as the supplied carbon scoop. This whole process may take several layers, dont worry about the front edge of the scoop too much, remember that you can always cut it away.
D)
When dry remove the temporary mold and the cling film, finish with body filler, wet and dry and paint with Halfrauds Matt Black.
It seems to be a lot more agressive in Vtec than my DC5 was with its Gruppe M, I am not a fan of buddyclub exhausts but currently on the car is a BC prospec and this combined with the Gruppe M makes a right racket
Update 27-8-08
DC5 footrest.
Ultralite carbon manifold cover.
I get my spoon system at the weekend too

Update 6th Sept 08
Another little update for you
I went to TGM today with the intention of getting my exhaust fitted, surprisingly they were not to busy so I asked if I could get my JDM ARB and Carbing tie bar done too
Before
New Spoon going on
Kenny prepares to remove my rear UKDM ARB, always a nervous situation as the rear drop links are prone to rusting and then require changing after@£40 each.
Luckily I got away with it!
Next the Carbing tie bar gets fitted
Voila.

Think I may have been with some friends that were on the same JAE stand as you.... My friend Anton had the Red supercharged Type-R.
My White Impreza Type R was parked there and about the stand.

Very nice you have been busy
The wheel nuts don’t look like they have many turns of thread on the studs or is it just the angle of the photo and they are longer than they look
