I bought my 32 in Oct 2004 with no engine or bonnet, flat bald tyres, partial interior and covered in bird turd.....it was love at first sight :bandit:

It was just a chance meeting when I went to Ron at RK Tuning with trev to pick up his wheels and asked the question that I'm sure he has heard a million times..."I'm thinking of buying a skyline". "Oh right" he said "I'm just building an engine for the 32 outside". Well that was that, the WRX was advertised the same day and I borrowed a grand off my mum and went down the next day to make sure it was mine :D

Since I've had it it has gone from R34 steel internals to T70 single and all the work from engine build to turbo conversion has been done by Ron and that makes me a happy chappy :wink: .........he has created a reliable animal :twisted:

Great car though and it sounded incredible !

You cant beat the sound of a tuned RB26....apart from a tuned Rotary lol

Nice car though mate, whats next ? Paintwork ?

Oh and I hope you paid back the grand you borrowed off your Mum !!!!

A wonderful barbaric experience. Driving in this, on full boost, is like being jettisoned out of a cannon. All that power in one hit and yet it's stealth personified. The same cannot be said for the owner 8)

Thats one beast you have there is that a custom exhaust I see poking out from the front of the car? Is it switchable? I.E with a 3 way valve from legal to illlegal?

This car sounds like nothing else I have heard - at full whack it sounds more like a jet fighter with afterburners glowing :o

I wondered how long it would be before we got a bit of flange on here :surprise: Don't let the obvious addition of Ms Fitt detract from Dans car chaps. Concentrate :wink:

Thats the screamer pipe and it's not switchable.........when you eventually get the thing spinning up it starts waking the dead :twisted:
I can drive it without it opening but where's the fun in that :D
