Hey ya'll!

Some of you may remember me by my old B20 98 spec teg. Since i sold that car i've pretty much been away from the forum as i've not had much to talk about car related lol. I tried my hand at doing up an EJ9 but decided against it due to cost. I then bought my self an R6 so cars went out the window all together! I then bought my self a 2004 cosmic grey EP3 (god knows what i was thinking lol) then i sold that and got my self this!

This car has been due for many years but due to the ridiculous price of insurance i decided to wait a bit, although it hasn't gone down much! paying £1192 at the age of almost 24 with 4 years no claims!

Was very lucky with this car because it's an absolute minter! only 47K on the clock with a FHSH.

The car is a pleasure to drive BUT something frustrates the hell out of me! The amazing power is totally robbed by a totally stupid 4.1 FD! what a joke lol. Each gear just goes on and on, especially with the 9K rev limit. It's need a 4.4-4.7 to actually be a quick car. Shame..

Plans are:

Hardtop - But at £1000 for the whole lot used, i can wait lol.
2004 onwards 17's are a must as the 16's look doggers!
Then just lower it.

For a standard car it's awesome. The turn in response matches my integra if not better. It's unbelievably stable also. The profile of the tyres let it down a tad as i can feel the slight flex in the side wall, which is why the 17's are a must. And i can ALMOST sling it around like my old FWD Honda's. The rear inspires a lot of confidence but i guess no torque and good Bridgestone tyres = not much to worry about lol. But when the back gives way...it gives way big style!

Agreed on the 17"s. Apart from that, looks a lovely example. Is that all round extra skirts/lips?
 
Cheers for all the positive comments :)

The lip's etc are part of the OEM GT kit. Just need the hard top.
