That I would love, Steven 
I say this now, but im not planning to do a huge amount tbh!
One of the reasons I went for his one is that some of the mods where what I would have gone for anwyay, such as the 04 wheels, Mugen exhaust, decat, intake etc...
The Mugen manifold wouldn't be my top choice as I would have chosen a J's or Hytech but its certainly going to be better than stock - so it stays. So on the whole its a great setup. The Mugen exhasut is spor on for me - not nearly as loud as the HKS but just loud enough. I would say most would find it too quiet!
I really enjoyed the Nurburgring and that leads me to want to get a car which is good on track.
So I will probably swap the supension (currently on Eibach's) for some Bilstiens, add something to the braking / bracing / cooling department and that should do it! Got to fit the SPA oil temp / pressure gauge to it as well.
I have noticed the back end wants to break free quite early on compared to the DC5, so need to look into that a bit more.
I am after a Siebon CF lip spoiler too, and an Ipod head unit
ITB's are a bit of a bugger, and prob just as expensive as FI by the end of it so not going to do look at that just yet. Short of pennies right now!
On the colour, I dont think silver would have been my first choice but I really like it now. Hides the scratches and with the wheels it really brakes up the colour. Id like red leather though, although at some point a Bride seat might be on order.

enjoy the car Mark, nice to have met you, try not to take too much Armco out on the 'ring 
I'll probably buy it back when you inevitably sell it in six months

So you went back to the S then - sorry I've been away for a while so not at all up to date, last I heard you had an EVO - did you get board of "machine driving man" rather than "man driving machine".
Looks good - get a love fab turbo on it and that should liven things up a little!
Keep Smiling

Hi Chris - hope all is well?
The Evo was great, best car I have had in fact - It managed a 12.3 quarter mile by the new owner, and did 0-60 in about 3.9 seconds it was just the right time to let it go though. I shall have another one day as there is nothing more competent for the money.
How you getting on with the M? Bet you haven't looked back
