Description
Imported by Torque GT, graded 4C with rare Modulo interior kit, 95k miles, £16,500 firm. Proper conversion to miles with odometer corrected (BIMTA certificate), underseal, fog light, OEM discs and pads fitted.
I am the first and only UK owner. Since owning I have scrupulously maintained the car and have enjoyed doing gentle mods that have improved the look and performance. But most importantly I have maintained its Japanese condition. The car has only ever been driven in Summer, Spring and Autumn.
I am an engineer and have high standards so naturally I have taken mechanical maintenance seriously. A detailed diary of all work performed to the car has been kept along with receipts. Oil and filter changed every 5k miles. Always 99 RON petrol.
Underseal by Torque GT has been enhanced by full undersealing of the front and rear bumpers, wings, rear arch cavities, sill cavities, and trailing arm cavities. Top quality products from Bilt Hamber have been used including Dynax S50, Hydrate, Deox-C, Deox-Gel, Dynax-UB. The underbody has been treated to an Atom-mac wash twice a year. The rear light seals and roof weather sealing have been upgraded.
An OEM+ look has been acheived through the installation of coilovers, wheel spacers (20mm front, 15mm rear), de-baffled Kakimoto Mega N1 exhaust, sunstrip and Project Mu heptagon lock nuts.

Fresh MOT as of last week, all clear. Tester commented on how clean a car it was and pleasure to test, always nice to hear. Also has had a FRSU from Automek.
The ride is now perfect for some fast road use, or even track - more aggression is possible with mods fitted. The suspension mods I've chosen make such a big improvement to the handling and response.
The car is excellent. It has been a real pleasure to maintain, and is fun to drive. I can link a video to highlight the superb combo of the current induction/ exhaust setup. It is louder than stock, but off vtec and idle it is quiet around town. Also, there is a real satisfaction to changing gear with the Hybrid Racing setup compared to stock.
All of the perishables and consumable in regards to rubbers have been replaced over the last few years which I think is a big element to consider in comparison to fresh imports. There is value for money in this car with the amount of willing hours contributed.
The front and rear bumpers have been painted, with the front number plate holder smoothed, wheels refurbed.
The car is excellent value and an investment at £16,500. These cars are becoming ever more the classic sports car, idolising an era of Japanese styling and engineering which we are unlikely to see again.
Car can be seen in Glasgow.
Thanks,
Mark
