Picked up the car on Friday.

It is awsome still has the graphix on it but will be getting them removed shortly.

Took it to a Jap show on Saturday afternoon at Newcastle and it got loads of attention.

I have not got the pix up yet, but this is the link to the for sale ad.

Stu who I bought it from is a cracking lad and has spent a small fortune on it.

Im not a fan of graphics at all, I think it looks untasteful, chavvy, and usually cheap... but this looks fantastic, AND on a white car !!!!
The ONLY things I dont like on the car is the black bonet, and purple wheels. [Think just normal or if your adventurous, chrome, is best suited for wheels].
She's lovely mate, well done for getting it.

Gazboy, the graphics are stuck on.

RobGTO, I thought the same about the wheels but they are a candyflip, and don't look purple up close, it is just the light in that pic.

The reactions that the car gets is fantastic. I have had people hanging out of their cars taking photos.

I parked up on the Quayside in Newcastle on Saturday afternoon and went for lunch, I was looking out of the pub window and there was a crowd of people stood around the car taking photos of themselves next to it.

I'm thinking about that too! I know it's OTT, but at the end of the day the performance matches it's looks!!

It'll look better with the graphic removed imo. Stunning car - something like that is about all (realistically) that'd come close to tempting me away from my RX.

Just been looking through some old posts.

That side exit exhaust is my "screamer pipe".

My exhaust system is Kakimoto, exiting from the back as normal.

Your right one of my neighbours hates me, and has started to try and make it as difficult as possible to park my car. The rest of them have been spot onm and have told me they keep an eye on the car when I'm at work.

I would be very careful where you let off then as the old bill will have a field day with it. My old car used to shoot 6 foot flames out the back ( screamer rerouted into exhaust) so depending how its tuned I would say be very careful

Don't let go of it that much to be honest. Car is a nightmare to drive in any town and under 30.
