looks like a shinsinaki whitson manifold?

sorry to hear your woes john,a leason learned. on a lighter note if the experience has put you off owning the car any longer i could offer you a straight swap for a spec c-2 careful owners,low miles etc ok maybe not,hope you get it sorted soon mate

yea craig they do go for silly money but still a few reasonably priced http://www.pistonheads.com/SALES/735658.htm cheapest 22b still 17k,still a few going though the jap auctions but with the exchange rate as it is it works out cheaper to buy here.same with all imports at the moment,my spec c would cost around 3k more to import this year compared to last. agree on the p1 splitter but seems to be a common addition to the type r's.hard to find a totally untouched one in this country all very confusing

lol cars looking good in some of them close up pics mate. do your own thing

heres another http://www.pistonheads.com/SALES/908431.htm

is this normal £ for a version 5,although not standard http://www.pistonheads.com/SALES/852575.htm

cheers for the replies guys,so whats the difference between a wrx and sti type r?and whats the story with ones with a roof vent?are these v-limited editions only? all very confusing for a lard a*** boy

i may have a meercat downpipe for sale shortly chris

lol priceless i'll bring it up the road for you no problem mate and promise won't take it above 8500 rpm

a bit far away to help you out but would expect the fitting price to be £150-£200 maybe someone local can assist you though,good luck

real bummer did they break in and get the keys or was it lifted?literally? i take it these cars can't be stolen easily without keys

cheers grant no plans for big mods this time,well at least until the recession is over

seems strange as andy f always recommends to go for these if avcs heads aren't an option,thanks for the input though

cheers guys not wanting to push it too far.....................just yet lol

cheers dunk starting to get somewhere now

thanks colin,pretty impressive time for a standard car with the short ratios. are the 5/6 a straight ecutek remap then?

cheers gordy just wondering why some others rate the 5 and 6,was the gearbox/casing stronger in these?

if i had a garage to put it in i would get a mkI or II rs andy

right guys thinking about stepping back in time and getting a type r. always fancied a 2 door and a 22b is out of reach so this is the next best thing i think since i've only had newages i'm not too clued up(yet)in the whole classic thing so whats the best version to get?how much power will they take on the standard block? do the 5 and 6 have the strongest g/box and best heads?im sure you get the idea lol let the education begin

happy birthday mate

top marks big guy nice to be different as for the hire car i take it thats it out of comission after yesterdays little jaunt lol 1100 miles in a day with club foot at the wheel would kill any car

no worries rich still no news from the insurance,so no surprise there

sad story indeed grant not a lot of money involved but then thats irrelevant their time will come

nice wheels gus whats next then? lol

not really sure what your point is mate? the car was deemed as safe when mapped and i didn't set out intentionally to push the car to an unsafe limit in any way.
