Sukhy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Nice car, congratulations. I remember this car as it came from Japan roughly around the same time mine came over. Looks like it has been well looked after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Beautiful, is the car Quicksilver or gunmetal? I reckon its quicksilver. Whatever colour it is, it's stunning Just checked out all the vin tag info. The paint code is 6N0 aka moonstone, gunmetal, "greyish green mica metallic" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Wheels booked in for refurb this weekend and shifter bushes purchased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) The wheels on the car were a major selling point but unfortunately they had all suffered from some light kerbing and stone chipping. So today, I dropped the wheels off to be refurbished and I hope to have them back with me mid to late next week. I opted for them to be refurbed to original condition as I think they suit the car so well as they are. I also took the opportunity to confirm the sizes and offsets whilst the wheels were off.

Guest Nicholas Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Very nice Rich, can you let us know what the fit is like on your APR cooling plate, the last 3 I've fitted for people have been well off, I think their moulds are getting on a bit..

Rich.2211 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Lowered the car back onto the wheels today and took a quick snap shot on my phone. It's still sitting a bit high here but I liked the picture all the same. I removed this nasty cold air intake hose too as I'm thinking of designing/making/having made a custom air box. Intercooler pipes will be going satin black along with cleaning the green algae from the edge of the indicator I have just noticed!!! Also, with the inner arch liner off earlier today, I noticed that a grommet was missing/out of place so I rectified that asap. As you can tell I broke out the DSLR for this high res first image All little things Edited December 21, 2014 by Rich.2211 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a test fit over the Christmas break and report back. It's not the first time I've heard of poor fitment, which is a shame as they look like a quality item and are priced accordingly.

Rich.2211 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Cheers for the comments guys. Collected a RMM polyurethene front lip today and booked the car into the bodyshop for Feb 9th to have it colour coded along with a few other bits and pieces. I'll probably get the car back on the road in March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
