I'm not sure the pink one has a high enough number for this level of chavness, but just as a thought what the **** is that for?? wiper blade rotation or does he tell his mates he's running just under 11 bar of boost

Its meant to be the lightweight version, but **** me, must be heavier in weight then hummer.

And those gauges are top, think either someone was in a rush, or a blind man thought it looked ok.

Not sure whats going on with the big pink alarm clock nailed to the dash ???

It never fails to amaze me with modding cars how many people spend a fortune and bolt on loads of stuff, and at no point take a step back and ask themselves 'does my car actually look better than when I started'

IIRC Subaru weren't doing that blue on the STi RA in 1996, so its either been painted or it isn't an RA
