Just spent a very pleasant hour leafing through your build Sparks. I had forgotten just how nice your car is. I really hope I can get to see it this summer.

just read this whole thread from start to finish..what a breath of fresh air
Its so good to see a skyline tuning company that takes so much pride and enthusiasm in their work especially when they are based on the opposite side of the earth from where the customer is..inspirational  to Robbie Ward and all the Rips team..Big respect to you sparks for taking your car to this level.I hope it gives you many thousands of insanely fast trouble free miles! Mental Car

This is a build of dreams, fantastic to see so much care and attention to detail going into every part of it, pleasure to read! Looking forward to seeing this in the flesh this season, I’m sure you will be at many shows with it, make sure you post up which ones!

Thanks for the comments everyone, the car has been an absolute rock since it's return and has not missed a beat. Starts first time every time even when it has been sat for a couple of weeks!!!!
A couple of cosmetic changes here and there but other than that just regular checks etc and nothing needed whatsoever. I am heading to TOTB and hope to meet people down there so pop over and say hello! Cheers Sparks ps I will put some more pics up soon!!

A quick update for the car, not alot has happened recently just a lot of enjoying the car and driving it around!
Absolutely faultless and I have not had a single problem, cannot ask for anymore than that. A few little changes here and there... These are now fitted...  Do-Luck Carbon rear wing stays, I love the way they shift the wing back and down and have been after a set for ages! Hopefully catch you at TOTB!
