Thanks Drax and would love to meet. She needs a good run so once the post-Christmas rush is over at work I'd be up for it.

Sage Green Metallic.
I wonder if that was special order, or was a standard colour available for those models years, in JDM land?

That’s very nice, what’s the spec it’s clearly a JDM car but what motor and is it manual?

It's interesting it's catalogued as sage green, Iain as it's one of those deceiving colours that looks pale blue in some lights, then greeny-blue in others. I've had a lot of complete strangers in Halifax comment on how striking she looks.

Hi JEBB4 and thanks. She's a 2.2 VTEC auto (as per my Malaysian one) with the 'sport' function. I was looking seriously at a 5 speed manual owned by a guy in Grimsby, but got the run around so I quit that process out of sheer frustration. I'd been watching this one for a while and to be frank, I'm glad I got an auto box which is perfect for an old codger like me.

Those days of revving it at traffic light Grands Prix are long gone...

What a good-looking car. The colour really suits it.
Nice one!

Afternoon all. I thought you'd like to see a nice little air refiner feature she has installed. Apologies for my crummy photographic skills. And yes, that rear fog light switch is awful and is driving me round the bend just to look at it. Has anyone else got one of these refiners fitted?
