Very understated
Make sure you have your driving docs, insurance and MOT with you when driving, simply to save time in the queue in your local police station when you get your producer
I bet you don't keep it more than 3 months!!

I've never been a fan of that type of spoiler, nor the bodykit - but the car itself looks in top condition and it's a nice, rare colour.
RX7's are excellent, as long as it's a good one - on that point I suppose only time will tell.
DaveGTT - keep us informed eh, and get some vids, more pics posted.

dunno how to do vids, I splash what little cash I have on other luxuries rather than a fancy mobile phone so no idea how to get some footage onto a mpeg... I'll be washing and polishing it tonight it the weather holds out and will try and get a few more snaps then
fatherpierre, 3 months eh? what makes you say that? its 10x the impreza was, kept that for 10months I should think I'll be at least keeping it til renewal time (insurance) which isnt til 2006 anyhow

I say the 3 months simply due to the 'attention' you will be receiving!
I quite like it and had an MR2T with a similarly shoulderpadded look. I had to get rid of her due to constantly getting pulled over and because of all the idiots who wanted to race/cut me up.

lol.. well its the first time today I drove through town (dinner time) on a busy day and the amount of people who actually stop and gawp whilst you cruise past is cool... dont need the power with this thing. its 90% about looks and when I need it I'll be happy to show most cars on the road where they belong in the pecking order lol

I think our Clare has a good point.
I mean, no true "driving enthusiast" would do that to a car, however someone who is interested in the fashionable side of car ownership would.
Lexus lights, meccano spoliers, cheap looking body kits, lowering cars so they handle badly, putting on bigger heavier wheels than is safe to do - all things found on people who are interested in the fashionable accessories side of car ownership.
I am not saying it's wrong, but the whole fast and furious, polishing thing...well, I just don't get it.

thanks for the comments guys... Mat R, will be in touch if theres a prob, dont worry about that you going to Rotorstock on Monday?
as for the bad comments... lol since when did we all have to have the same idea of what a good car consitutes to be an enthusiast... cheap body kit? in fact the veilside bodykit retails at £1500 +VAT, hardly cheap, same for the £600 spoiler.... the wheels are alot wider than std making handling alot more better, and as for chav-ish... well, at least its not a subaru eh its a very rare japanese performace car pushing over 300bhp with japanese body parts added too it and its styled the way I like it to be styled and that makes me a chav? LMFAO you aint got a clue, the only people who can possibly call me that for the reasons you give, are people who are totally disinterested in cars and only use them for their practicality... would you own a subaru (OK Im guessing here but 90% of users do) if it looked like the fiat multipla just because of its handling and performace? which btw I believe the RX7 is superior too
