Excellent work. I very very nearly bought one of these 9 years ago. Travelled down to Bradford to see it, but it was a shed and in a rare moment of sensibleness I turned it down. It would have been a nightmare but I always half wish I'd got it.
Bought a Starlet GT Turbo instead.

I've used Camskill a few times and found them excellent. I also believe that they do a price match guarantee now.

A big one for me is cars without a front plate. Now I have no issue with people running without a front plate, what does my head in is when they leave the cut out and/or screw holes so it looks like it just fell off! Get some fibreglass and filler and sort it out, its not hard, and it looks so much cleaner. PREACH! Just leave the plate where its meant to be or do it properly!

I don't think that this style of modification will come back in its original form, but you can already see elements of it starting to come back. As has already been mentioned with stuff like Liberty Walk.
Its a case of current styles merging.

Excellent pics!
That Megane looks epic and must have cost a fraction of the equivalent Golf. Nice work to whoever the builder is!

Good Choice! Mine's an earlier SF5 - also a 2.0 T. Previous owner put some nice anthracite impreza alloys on mine and I'd like to put some tein coileys on it at some point to get it down to normal-ish wagon height. They're a bit thirsty though aren't they? mine How I'd like it to be — 'Angry Toaster' If you want to lower it without resorting to coilovers you can use Impreza springs. You can also remove the subframe spacers I believe. Works as sort of a body drop.

I'll be at Fueled this year, I've actually been asked if I'd like to sort a stand out if we fancy an RR presence? I would be up for that. Would give me a good deadline to sort some stuff out on the Polo. Tom

Honda accord aerodeck linkThere was nothing else quite like the original Accord Aerodeck (apart fron a baby version badged as a Civic, of course). Such a great car for it's time, underrated through the unknowing, shame the concept didn't take off. I can't even think of a modern equivalent.. Renault Avantime? Tom

Never heard of Fueled Society, but it looks great and is pretty close (less than 90miles) so I've stuck it in the diary.

I used to often follow a young lad to work who drove a minor. Looked stock and it never really held me up.

Most excellent. Is it staying base model looking but with a V8 soundtrack? Tom erm.... not exactly lol It's being turned into an NYPD cop car using a senator front end, genuine light bar, nudge bar, white respray and livery. Haha that sounds entertaining. Bit like Colonelk's Senator.

Not 5x114.3 but I'm fairly sure you'll get an Impreza Turbo for £800. It'll be far from a minter but it will be fun and fast.......until it explodes.

Copied from the FB Page
Latest Update - the following ive copied from someone who knows a bit more about whats happening -- The retail park is deffo over they are going to be there on wed with marked and unmarked cars and CCTV, the npr system is already on the retail park so everyone (including customers as they can’t differ between the two) will get letters saying if they are attending the car meet they are doing so illegally. Any burnouts, fast driving, antisocial behavior will be dealt with on the spot this week. Anyone returning again the next month then they will start enforcing (i.e. if someone has as much as a bolt that is not declared to the insurance company bald tire they can kiss goodbye to their car) also they are in the process with the council to get the retail park an ASBO which will mean no gatherings etc etc so that will also be an enforceable offence. As far as the organized one they haven’t said a deffo no but should hear back soon on that one see what happens.
