by ZAIS200, 07-09-2023, 06:53 AM

Good morning all,

Though I would share my weekend with every body, a lot of you are already aware that i have been looking to upgrade and the saying goes every dog has its day, well yesterday (Sunday 18/10) was my day, meet the new ride...

Its a 2002 Subaru Legacy B4 TT manual (Jap import - so comes with real JDM cred :biggrin when it was new it produced 280hp.









It even still has the Japanese roadworthy disk and toll pay system installed, so everytime you start you here this weird japanese woman say something :thumbup:


Interior is super clean bar a tear in the driver seat, but thaats easily fixed.



Came complete with JDM big bore performance exhaust and its loud but who doesn't like the burble from the boxer engine:drool:




Roll on JAE 2016!

So what do you guys think?

NHB Honda Type R

by EmZ, 06-09-2023, 06:14 PM

Lets just start by saying I've been a very silent member for many years but never drove until 2 yrs ago when I finally got around to learning and passing my test first time. I then drove my partners very basic Toyota Aygo for those 2 yrs until March this year when I purchased my dream car (Saying that I have loads of dream cars! But this was my price range and my uncle was selling it.)

Meet my Honda Civic Type R 2.0 Nighthawk Black '05 plate. Brought at 88K on the clock and 2 previous owners. Bog standard from what I gather.

I'll start with what I first posted on a Type R forum.. And then jump to the present month.

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Few photos snapped on my phone the day after picking it up..





My first little thing I put on my car this evening because I'm a massive Fast and Furious fan and obviously a huge fan of Paul Walker so this is my tribute I've been wanting to put on my own car since that tragic accident. (Yes I screwed the 'E' up!!!)



I need to find some good products now for polishing and washing my car![/COLOR]

----------------

I started with very basic mods to make it my own and add a little colour scheme to it to.
Wind deflectors
Purple honda badges front and back, wheels, steering wheel and R's
Honda Type R door sills
Purple rim blades
Custom made purple logo seat belt covers
Carbon wrapped bonnet (That was to hide a really nasty mark left by the previous owner which I didn't find until it had a wash!)
Purple Kode tow hook
Purple sun strip
Few purple stickers

Then it was ready for Japshow with a Civic club.





After that I had to do something new for Japfest 2 which I then attended again with the same club.

Preparing my brake callipers for painting


This was it half way through.. Looking a little all over the place



Then before I think the second coat before my other half helped touch it up



Wheel back on



On to the front one which wasn't even painted properly..



I found my groove by the time I got on to a bigger calliper. I found it looked a lot better compared to my first attempt.



They look really good now the paint has settled and I've driven around more now. Got a bit of dirt on them now!

Mazda RX8

by G-Trail, 31-08-2023, 05:04 PM

Well a lot of you have met me as I decided to start to attend some shows after Pat helped me purchase the new car and to see what it was all about.

This year I've been to the runway display motor show where I met a group of you and started to enjoy it more and more so took the plunge and came to JAE my first really big event where I met even more of you, and I also won the best standard car award, so thank you to all who voted for me.

And then to finish of the season I attended Japshow finale and what a great event that was although a very early start for myself and lexuspat but a really great day out.

So onto the car as that's what this is all about.

Mazda RX8 192 in velocity red completely standard and in great condition with all the mazda recalls done on it as well.

So this is her being picked up



And this is how she stayed for a while.

I then joined OJC and became an outlaw so got on and fitted my new decals.



Then I decided to attend a show in Aug so went up to Lexuspat house where he gave the car a machine Polish and full detail



At the show I met Jim and Robin who gave me a few simple bits to do and started to point me in the direction of a few companies to get parts from.

Then came JAE where I purchased a few engine bay bolts to start me off.



Whilst there for my birthday pat had got me a custom engine cover done



And was awarded my trophy



Then my youngest son got me a set of sport pedals for my birthday so got on with fitting them



Whilst doing this Jim told me about a simple job to move the front plate so did that as well



But didn't like the plate size so ordered a new square plate and fitted that in its place



At the same time lexuspat changed out a few bulbs to LEDS instead of the standard bulbs



Now have a big list of parts I'm looking at but always open to new ideas and as always grateful to ur help on finding things

To end my first post here's a picture of the car at Japshow finale



Second update

After attending the Japshow finale where I picked up a few ideas I have now put new decals on the RX





Also found some strakes and the rotary crest for the front of the car





And finally an RX-8 cover for the third brake light



Here endeth the second update
