hello from new member :)
 

Hello everyone. My car is 05 Type RA that I bought this August on 6000miles from Japan. The car's engine was stock except for HKS equal length manifold + complete Fujitsubo Legalise R exhaust system and few bits under the hood. The car sat on cusco 2R suspension with few more Cusco bits underneath. There was a titanium front strut brace and a carbon rear strut bar. Inside an HKS turbo Timer with many Defi toys. The car was dressed in full Ings+1 bodykit on R19 Volk's. I think it was a very good deal considering I got all of it for just over 20000GBP it in Moscow. Since I bought it I changed the rims to 8x18 forged, the suspension to AST, took off the bodykit, installed Pioneer Sat/Nav and had all of the interior retrimmed in suede.

This is how I got the car from JAP:

Welcome Ilya! Nice pics :thumb:

w00t :eek2:

Not sure if i like it before or after. Like the old silver rims.

Nice motor though :thumb:

I've just worked out why i found the recent pics a bit bizar.

You put a standard kit on, but kept the crazy spoiler. Doesnt quite fit together.

SetoN

u r correct, but taking off the RICE spoiler will leave a few holes in the trunk and I kind of don't want it :)

welcome!!

looks good both ways

Mate lovely car!!!(i want it)

But imo it looked better kitted! The first picture nearly made me do a sex wee!!

Yeah the first two do it for me as well!

I agree that with the kit on the car looks sweeter, but considering the fact I was to drive all the way from Moscow to London and board a couple of ferries, It definately was the right move. Not only woul the Cusco crap suspension and R19s kill my back, but that fron bumber would stay behind after first boarding of the first ferry...

:Suspiciou :nono: :lol1:

I think the suede looks fooking amazing! Good job!

Welcome to sn :cool: car :thumb:

welcome mate!!

Look very nice.. i like it more before exept wheels..

Nice interior!! Where did you get the re-trim done and how much did it cost if you dont mind me asking?

bin the wing and its a winner; interior is awesome :notworthy

The wing is staying untill I decide what to do, if anything, to the exterior of the car. I really like WRC widebody kit and it's definately on my wish list today :) At the moment I am more worried about the engine :wonder: and what to do with it...

furry muff...it is your car :thumb:

what are you trying to achieve with the engine?

I want an everyday beast :)
I absolutely love Spec C's engine, but obviously want to take it to the next level :norty: without loosing the early pick up of the turbo... I have been looking at Powerstation's solutions, but haven't really decided yet.

Any advices are welcome :)

have a search around for the tuning articles that have been writen on the SN Spec C...lots of interesting info. Technical section would be a good place to start.

love the interior

The re-trim was done by a friend of mine in Moscow and cost me 2000 GBP.

That interior look fantastic:thumb: . I prefer the silver wheels though.
What head unit have you got in there?

That's Pioneer Sat/Nav unit Avic HD3 I think, useful thing but lacks European maps for now :(

very very nice :) :)

nice motor dashboard looks nice
