Not a fan of the wing but I love the paint job. Personally, I can't live without molding the side skirts. When it came to the engine bay pic I was expecting some highly polished manifold with custom painted pipes, clean your engine! I'm one to talk because the only clean part of my engine are my new red intake pipes lol. Other than that the car looks good.

cheers for the replies peeps,i got the car already done up like this,was`nt a big fan of the colour at first but its grown on me,at least i took the graphics off!! The wing is on the list to go,so is to flush in the skirts and spats. the car was a none runner when i got her,but it was just flooded! but the guy who sold it didnt know that,and he thought the engine might of blown so i got it for a good price
The engines only done 38k on a rebuild,so i`l just run it stock for now(give it a clean of course). The dash is all a mess at the mo,with someone doing a hash job of try`n to spray it,so thats gotta be re done. Its cool though,somthing to mess with. cheers

I agree I think the color is gorgous, hate the body kit, front bumper is nice though. Also dont like the huge wing, you need to loose that ASAP. Anyways the color is gorgous, time to start on some engine work!

I like the stock wheels with the silver lip. But yah, cleaning the engine would be nice. At a quick glance, it sorta' reminds me of that famous orange wide body Re Amemiya. Don't have the photo on me but I'm sure most of you seen it.

Thats what i was thinking too. Anyways man, the car looks great. It would look better with possibly a more subtle smaller wing, because the wing on there now is HUGE! And start doing something to the engine man.

the car is a little to wild for me. IMO if you are gonna go with a wild paint to go with the wild body pieces, you should also have aftermarket rims. The stockers are too tame.

The engine...eeer let's just say performance should match the body too.

But this is just a newbie's opinion

I second that... the wing is also tilted...

Also, please ugrade or remove your stock AST!

Other than that, nice car, and nice job restoring her and bringing her back to life. I kindda like the orange, but maybe not so the body kit and wing.

You also need the plastic piece that goes over the IC duct over to the Intake. Or at least cap the hole in the IC duct. you want as much air going through that IC as possible. Or better yet get an aftermarket SMIC.

Lose the Wing and get some nice 18" rims. With the body kit, the body actually looks "bulky" with stock rims and tires.

Just like to say that this is a great site and should be a bible to any rx owner. cheers peeps-j

cover that hole in the IC duct.

stock rims do look silly with that kit and color. front bumper cover is a nice piece.
