In a rare case of OP following through..... deal has been done

 

Fair play. It will be a fantastic drive.

 

Looking forward to the project thread

 

Congrats on your new purchase. Looking forward to the thread

 

buy it! drive it! enjoy it! if you like it.

 

I did

Sorry to disappoint guys - this will get a centre de-cat and a re-map and that’ll be it!

 

Good for you. Hope it brings you joy and not too many speeding tickets.

 

Beautiful car! Enjoy it! Who will you get to remap it?
I am thinking of remapping my 20th anniversary this spring/summer.

 

I’m in Scotland, so would be planning Andy Forrest.

 

Double the underseal then!

 

Yeah part of the deal is removing both bumpers, side skirts & under-trays and really going to town on it. Much more than their standard provision.

I doubt I’ll use it in the really worst of winter weather though.

 

Forget the remap unless you want the stumble and poor running problems these jdm hatches need to be left alone imo

 

good man! you wont regret it!

 

Why would you get that from a remap? Or is it a special request (like pops n bangs) Can I have the ‘stumble & poor running’ Map please

 

Can we have LOTS of pictures please

 

Every jdm hatch owner ii have spoken to inc myself have had stumble related running issues after a remap
that's why I went down the route of tomioka fpr kit and syvecs

 

Will do some research before committing, thanks

It may be quick enough out of the box - just hoping I don’t find it slightly lacking, with my Spec C RA running 1.6 bar on it’s VF36.

First world problems I know

Thats crazy, I’d never heard of that and don’t really understand why that’d be the case. Be interested to hear the science behind it?

Surely if you’re changing things on the stock map that effect the running making it run crap you’re doing something wrong?

I’m intrigued

 

Torque GT car?

 

Yup

 

Lovely car mate. I actually went out to see the other one ebay for 26,995. That car was incredibly clean, surprised you never seen that one? It was cleaner and 4k cheaper. I couldnt sell one of my cars in time to secure it.

 

when I went to see it a few a weeks ago

 

£2k cheaper

I needed to trade in my Spec C RA. I bought it from Torque originally, so they knew the car and it made things very easy.

Actually got slightly more for the Spec C than I paid for it, so all good.

 

I have an R205 with 18K miles which is a one Japanese owner car, that i'd consider selling for the right money. It's coming up to 10 years old in April and will be UK registered on an "R205 XXX" private plate then.

If you're interested, you can always shoot me a PM

 

A welcome sight after a 4 month wait.... on it's way at last! Glad it's not me doing the 600 mile drive...

 

Christmas came early this year, you must be over the moon with it!
The car looks great!

 

Will be tomorrow before I get it and see it for the first time. Poor guy has to do that 600 miles @ 50mph. Hotel stop over for him tonight!

Does feel like Xmas Eve though

 

Congrats, it was a lonely club for 10 years, but I am glad to see others getting the same experience I have had with these amazing cars.

 

The fact you’ve kept it for 10 years after owning all sorts of other amazing cars in the past says it all really.

Have enjoyed reading bits and pieces of yours here and on Pistonheads
