No vote from me, sorry.

The engine and installation is fantastic, but a car modified to that level should be more subtle, the styling just chavvy max power all day.

While I realise it is a springboard to advertise your business, I think a much deeper dark green metallic would have looked classier.

Before all of SN get on my case I am entitled to an opinion, and I am totally opposed to any chavvy ott styling, but that's just me, don't get your knickers in a twist about it.

Come on man. Regardless of colour etc, Simon is a top guy & a top tuner. Deserves the credit for all the hard work & dedication gone into the car.

Voted.

Davey96wrx 18 December 2012 11:45 PM

Don't get me wrong the dedication and build is fantastic, I love that part if it!!!

I'm just a strong believer in subtlety( old age creeping up ) and wish him luck :-)

topshot 18 December 2012 11:48 PM

Are you for real mate?? Its a showcase, its not supposed to be subtle. Why should a car that has changed so much from the standard form be subtle? It's supposed to be out there and in your face otherwise whats the fecking point of it?

Jolly Green Monster 19 December 2012 12:09 AM

Previous car was metallic light green, one before that was dark metallic green and everyone said they werent racey enough lol

Davey96wrx 19 December 2012 12:10 AM

It's my opinion pal, get over it.

I just don't like ott styling and ridiculous colours, they are not the only way you can get noticed btw.

^ not aimed at JGM btw

As a relative newbie I wasn't aware if this, I think your original choices were wiser, but as I've already said its a great build and I'm one guy out of loads who adore your car so just enjoy it if your happy that's what's important.

Its a bloody track weapon! That's the only time when a car can be as loud and proud, as you want! It looks fantastic for its purpose.

ironbridge 19 December 2012 01:31 AM

Fantastic car and a great advert for the company hence the bright colour and the 'OTT' bodystyling!

Well done.

trails 19 December 2012 06:18 AM

Voted Si...

not sure where the ott styling comment comes from the only differences from most cars are the arches and morettes?

Whilst I would normally agree with the comments about subtlety etc. that is not what this car is about. I presume, aside from being a creat car to fling around a track, it is also designed to get noticed thereby promoting the owner's business and in that regard it scores very highly.

Anyway voted!

nyscooby 19 December 2012 12:39 PM

What is the spec?

Not many Subaru entries in that list at Banzai???

exactly that..

I do find it sometimes a bit too much - people filming it on the motorway whilst I am towing it to events, people taking pictures in petrol stations.. traffic lights when I am driving it on the road need to be avoided if possible as everyone wants to race.

So yes if I was using it on the road more it would be probably be resprayed the same colour as the type R I am working on today - Graphite Grey metallic.. or wrapped in a subtle colour but its not what the car is.

Was amused yesterday by the interest from two guys whose race car was red and itallion..
