Well folks i decided it's about time i documented a little thread to the ST205WRC's progress from pictures from myself and the previous owner Paul Bartolo.

Well here is how how it started out when it came in from Japan.

Silver was the standard original colour

And the plain but tacky imo modified interior

Firstly it was the first ST205 (or so i was told) to be running a front mount in the UK and Ireland

Then car got painted Lotus Exige S Chrome Orange and sporting its first set of wheels

The most recent interior but changes will also be done there too, changes that will happen are new reclining bucket seats and flocking of the dash.

The car has had a magazine feature or two over the years and I have been approached to do another in the near future with the girlfriends orange Ford Puma

Recently the car was taken to it's first outing after the last build and it done me very proud, picking up best performance car and best car overall at the North West Motorshow 2009 to add to the trohies the car has already won over the years.
These are the trophies the car won at it's most prestigeous event back in 2005
Banzai Best Engine Modifications and Best car of show 2005

And most recently 7 June 2009, myself collecting the trophy for best high performance car and cash reward for best car overall

Great pics!! Are the competitions you are going to in Ireland or England? Just wondering what kind of car scene Ireland has or if it's all based around the UK.

I think you probably went through it in your intro thread, but you might want to list the major mods that went into the build so all the info on the car is in one thread.

Have any plans to hit the track with it?

lumbercis the events i take the car to are mainly local here in Ireland as it can become a very expensive hobby going back and forth to England regularly. The car scene here is amazing here, everything from euro to imports (USDM to JDM and everything in between), classics and restorations. We have it all just like yourselves over there.
We have events/shows every weekend that basically fill every weekend in the calendar. Rain, hail, sleet, snow or the very rare sunshine we always have something going on.

I have the old spec sheet of the car but awaiting the receipt from momentum motorsport so i can publish the most recent build and the there has been many many changes, so no point in giving you a rough idea with the previous build.
