Nice work. As others have said, it would look better with the bonnet in red and removing the stickers, but otherwise it's very clean and well put together. Too many of the JDM imports you see these days are done very sloppily.

Thanks for the comments! I will probably get a red bonnet in time, but for now I'm happy with the carbon.

I don't think many people on here would be interested in an Aristo build thread ha!

Not much has happened, I’ve done a full service and had the front bumper blown over to get rid of a few scratches. It looks pretty good without a front bumper ha!

Fitted the bumper back on and gave it a quick clean and polished the wheels. Will be giving it a detail tomorrow for its wedding duties at the weekend!

Great read, lovely car.

I like the big spoiler, I would be tempted to go for wider arches though.

I will be going wider in the rear at some point, happy with how it is... for now ha!

Been enjoying the car over the past few weeks and doing a few jobs here and there. Went to a small local meet and got a couple of photos taken by Rob Schaverien, awesome pics as always!

I’ve since given the paintwork its first machine polish ready for wedding duties last weekend and ready for the show and shine at JDM Combe and Players Classic in the next couple of weekends.

It was given a full clay, compound, polish then wax. Took a fairly long time but the swirls are hardly visible now. Red was very satisfying to polish I have to admit!

My close friend Matt had asked to use both the S15 and my Aristo for his wedding, who was I to refuse! I got both cars cleaned in the morning then ribbons put on ready for the drive to the venue.

Day after the wedding I went out for an evening drive with the misses, I had forgotten about this spot! So I may as well we out a few more pics ha!

That last picture is absolutely stunning!

After seeing this on Jamie FYD's Channel and Adam from 6two1 getting one, I can't stop looking at S15's...

The pictures from when you visited Tokyo...were they scaled models of the RB engines? I cannot see from my screen!

Yeah they were little models, I wanted one but they were silly expensive!

Not much has happened again really! Been to a couple of shows, JDM Combe and Players Classic at Goodwood which was especially good this year. Got some great pics taken by Rob Schaverien again!

On the way back from Players, driving onto the ferry my front bumper caught on the ramp and cracked! The most annoying thing was one of the ferry staff was stood about 4ft away from me and didn’t say a thing about it being close as I was edging onto the ferry!

So another time to get my bumper resprayed yet again! I agreed with my friend Joe who is handy with fibreglass that I would polish his Mk2 Escort in return for him fixing my bumper ready for paint.
