Nice pick up man, and agree with everyone else. The MPS models are nice, but not as good as these things. Family friend has one now and he's in love with it. Keen to see how the mods go!
Cheers

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Not sure if the exhaust will be done by HVC but everything else should be. I'll take you for a spin at HVC if you want.
Yeah the 3 MPS torque steers a lot compared to these. The MPS has a LSD but the XR5 doesn't. I will probably install a LSD from an RS if/when it needs a new clutch.
Exhaust is a must have for HVC. You need to show all these flat four people what a real exhaust sounds like haha
Sweet! I'll take you up on that. The XR5's and ST's get fantastic reviews. My cousin used to own an orange XR5 but unfortunately she sold it before I could go for spin.
Have you figured out how to get massive bangs out of the exhaust yet?
Not sure if referring to women or exhaust... Or both

Nice!
Maybe do the fog covers as well?
I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

Grills and surrounds have been painted black.
I have also ordered silicone intakes pipes, a 3" dump pipe and high flow cat.
Tuner has arrived and am waiting for everything else to arrive so I can install it all and load Mod
X. Happy times

That's looking hot man. Definitely one of the beastiest looking XR5's I've seen around.
Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille
Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.
