I had no intentions of changing from my last white rev3 N/A import, but when this came up for sale impulse took over and I had to have it! I bought it on the first of September, so it's only been with me a short while.
I also update the car on the website THRLL:

The car the day I picked it up!
Once it was home, it was time to start the labourious process of cleaning, and grabbing some rare OEM or just personal parts from my old car
(which will soon be for sale)
Nothing transferred here though
Next up, a thorough cleaning:
Including polishing the
(standard) exhaust
Since then, I've worked on little bits of modification here and there, with some much more exciting ones to come.
Here's a half-way photo of my new gear shifter, using a Type R knob. I polished up the shifter base plate and arm. I really like the exposed mechanicals, though I know it's not to everyone's tastes by any means.
I've also painted the centre console plastics in pearlescent black paint.
They look great, so much more contrasted with the main dash texture. I also fitted some lovely chrome dial rings - a different look to the white lockwoods I had in the previous 2.
Yes, I get far too excited about detailing engine bays 
It's technically a private road so yes, no tarmac.
