Default The Return of The Red One

Here you go, some pictures of Ozz and Dave's old JDM WRX.
Pre-wash.

After a splash.







It's been enhanced by the previous owner, Steve, with KYB's and Eibachs with fast road geometry by Powerstation. It's got nearly new Toyo Proxes, new auxillary belts and fluids. The underseal as been reapplied, so should last another ten years. The Bob Rawle map is still running true with a figures confirmed on the rollers, 303/313.


In the next few weeks the rear spats, boot lid and spoiler (sold already) are all going to be replaced by an OE lower level spoiler with raisers. And some paint correction on the stone chips and nicks. Depending on what the body shop says the basket handle on the rear window will go when the boot lid is resprayed. Also the drift handle brake, if anyone local is interested.

I think you have just claimed the Welsh section No 1 this Christmas.

Enjoy Ian

If you are looking for a JDM rear lower level spoiler I have an original mint one in my garage complete with the clear led brake light.

It will need painting as it's the wrong shade of red for you.

Kev,


Many thanks for the kind offer but I have and OE in 22G ready to go. I am getting an OE boot lid to prevent any unnecessary drilling or leaks. The bodywork needs some attention as the spats are pulling the paint away but I know of a very good body shop that will help out.

It didn't looK out of place when ozz removed it previously, when it went to wolf for the stiffies to be fitted.

Nice to see the red un back Ian, I'm sure you'll do ozz proud and look after it just as well as he did.

I think you've got yourself a really good car there Ian, as has already been said Ozz treated it well and it will prove no doubt to be as good a car for you as well.
