Seen this the other day, looks really nice IMO, good alternative if u can afford the £20K+ price tag of a 22B. Or gives u £10K to spend on engine mods

I like it and appreciate the work gone into it.......but, at the end of the day it's still a copy. Like an escort with a whale tail fin or RS badge.

I know it's not the real thing but it's half the price and looks everybit as good to me. I'd personally be scared of using a 22b but I wouldn't be worried about using and abusing that

It does look good and about 1/2 the price of a 22B.
Just wonder if it's using steel panels (quite common in Japan) or fibreglass ones.

At least it's a 2 door.
And not a 22B 4 door or wagon, they just look stupid.
