Nothing as far as i can tell to get excited with.
I have heard it mentioned loads of time on here and often wondered what was sooo special about it, now i know, not a awful lot
Seems you know very little about the car, and in this kind of situation its best not to comment otherwise you look like a TIT.
The car was far more than a red S2 with a dodgy front bumper and bonnet.
It was an absolute weapon, unlike most of todays youth who have all the body kits and no power this car had the look and all the power to go with it, especially in its final incarnation.
Put it like this, it beat an R34 Skyline to 115mph at only 7psi of boost and a rev limit of 5500rpm.
I know, I was in both cars with Steve B driving when we did it, on a Saturday afternoon in Letchworth.
As has been said, James broke the mould in many ways with the front bumper, the stripped out look, which is all the rage now, but wasnt that popular 4 years ago, the exhaust out the back panel was something else too.
All the mods were done with attention to detail and a professional finish.
They arent to my tastes as I hate RS Turbos... but I can appreciate what he did and respect him for that.
Shame others seem to be either jealous of the attention the car still gets or lack the maturity to appreciate other peoples work and innovation.
