How do you know that's a Club Sport? It looks to me like any other Sport with M3 mirrors and twisty side skirts added. Do you even KNOW it's a '95??

if you look in the window, it has red millpoint, so it's either a club sport, or a very well-done clone

If you know that it's a 1995, it could be a Club Sport. The reason I was suspicious is that the wheels have been changed, and I don't think the side skirts are the style used on the Club Sport. However, I could be wrong about the side skirts, and would appreciate being corrected. The M3 mirrors could have been easily added. The interior (which I did notice before) is not an easy swap due to the rarity of it, but it's still possible.

BTW... if your car IS a Club Sport, please do not do a 6-cyl swap to it. If you return it to stock, you'll have an actual Club Sport, which is rare. If you swap the engine, your car won't really be a Club Sport anymore. I suggest you do what Jess did... he returned a Club Sport to stock, and is doing a 6-cyl swap to a different car. Then again, if you own the car, you can do whatever you please to it without caring about what one jerk on the internet (me) thinks. :-D
