Jheeeeeeezzz

 

i will, all in good time. I'm mostly concerned with getting down to Australia safely and without too much delay amidst coronavirus disruptions, but it will probably take some time. Then I'll share some details and photos.

I've been looking for a loonnng time and had a lot of disappointments, mostly with cars i've had inspected not living up to auction house photos and auction sheets. I seriously looked at over 10 Spirit Rs that were either rubbish or i lost at some crazy price. But this one is a special one - the best i have looked at - and i somehow got it.

 

I am assuming Type B, with red Leather. The Type B wheels look great with the gunmetal.

 

Correct that's the one. Type B was always my favourite version. I think the shadow chrome BBS are a great match with the titanium grey but the diamond silver BBS look great and a bit different from the prototypical Spirit R.

It’s no Greddy shooting brake hatch or anything, but I’ve wanted this since I had louvers on an FB many years ago.

will get painted black and be installed on a black FD (not this blue one)

 

Wow love this! My favorite car/color and favorite truck. Was going to go with those wheels when I bought my car but ended up going with Gram Lights because of the sizing. Love the spoiler too... giving me ideas.

 

Is it a one-off? Never really seen them on an FD.

 

A small outfit properly named "Live to Offend" haha. Mostly BMW stuff.

Put some LEDs up in the garage. Improved the looks of the car, thought id share.

 

Nice! What's the fitment on those RPF1s? Roll or pull fenders? Thanks, looks great.

 

17x10 +38 with 255/35 re71r. They could use a 15 to 20mm spacer. . . or a 275 tire more likely.

What is that CF side cover on the front feed fender?

 

I was able to get out this summer and take some decent shots. It’s been a while since I photographed her with a decent camera.

 

Very nice and tastefully modded @Neo .

 

Thanks!
I was never a big fan of ruining the classic lines of the original. I kept her with as many OEM parts as I could where I think it counts.
I do have something in the works for possibly next season if not the next. But again, to keep as close to factory intention as I can.

 

Very very nice. I am slightly reconsidering having bought the OEM 99 spec front bumper and 99 spec rear wing (just need the sideskirt to complete it). The look of the 93 and stock OEM+ looks amazing.

 

I would’ve loved to have gone to 99 spec if they kept the same lines as the original. Meaning, the side profile and symmetry. Since the new facelift was only designed for JDM, they moved the side amber light from the front bumper to the side of the fender. Leaving the front looking a little off. Otherwise, I would’ve gone to 99 spec.
I would also have run the rear wing too but my stock OEM wing leaves a few holes uncovered if I did go to the new wing.
Hopefully in the new season I’ll be able to accomplish the 1 thing that might really set it off from its original form.
it’ll make it a bit more aggressive, but hopefully not too crazy. Again, all factory parts.

 

 

Did someone mention "rolling parts catalogue"?

I listed 35 variations for the guy doing an appraisal last may. How many can you spot?

Further to Neo's comment above, I bit the bullet and added DRL sidemarkers ahead of the front wheel wells to be in compliance with local codes (Note to worry, I have spare fenders.) I added the S6 fogs for the same reason.

 

@Neo Great photos. The OEM Type RS wheels are such a perfect match for the FD and I totally agree with your comments on the lines with the sidemarkers.
