You need to get some more lights on it.

Weird, I was looking at "WRC" versions of these last night.....

That is really, really nice.

Absolutely love it, did the original have those top 4 spots separate or in a lighting pod? I think its the latter, I'm sure you can get your hands on one.

Thanks for the kind words, performance is quite good, full fitted out with st205 turbo, decat, straight exhaust, apexi air filter, st205 gearbox etc. Lets just say that is surprises quite a lot of people who feel that it's just show and no go. The original had a lamp pod with 4 spotlights, but with the massive spotlights costing about £130 each and £300 for the pod itself it's something I can live without.

Graphics/vinyl by mook at skewer.co.uk, great quality.

Will post some more photos of the interior next week when the cage and seats have been fitted.

Interior photos at last.

















Looking forward to going to Japfest at Castle Combe in May and Rally Day at Cornbury Park in May as well.

How secure is that fire extinguisher in the event of a rollover?

[Mastodon2]

I love it.

My fav shape Celica , miss my one, had a GT4A import

[ferdyg]

Fire extinguisher seems very secure, have tried to pull it out but will not budge unless you take at least 1 of the straps off, that's why its held in by 3 of them, but hey, hopefully I will never roll it!

and remember, this is sort of a rally replica, not an actual rally car!

Thanks for the positive comments everyone, it's much appreciated.
