bought the car standard back in march of 06

the previous own had just finished and engine rebuild on it

drove the car from bedford to Dublin without a hitch... the next day i go out for a spin and i end up a AA truck

fuel pump failure

so the first modz arrive

(walbro fuel pump and front strut brace)

whilst helping a friend remove an engine he broke i decided to nick his exhaust whilse he wasnt looking

^^this exhaust would wake the dead

it was SOOOOOOO loud... so it was only going to be a tempoary measure...

more parts arrive...

my 2 bitches..

then disaster

some dope reversed straight into me in a petrol station

then if like that wasnt bad enough... 3 days later a truck driving the opposite way threw some of its loadstraight on top of my car

claimed of both of them

in the mean time the s13 had to go...

the misus wasnt happy with 'things' being stored in the kitchen

so the car went to be fixed at the body shop...

More parts arrive..

ditched the manual boost controller for an electronic one...

tryed on some new shoes...

had to fix an oil leak

loads of new parts

artistic

fmic goes on...

loads of new suspension bits ready to go on...

and on...

taken in november 06

found some new shoes ive been looking for...

taken last week..

next modz are some whiteline antiroll bar's and a fidenza flywheel

will post up when more modz are done

nah not at all...

i suppose once you go above 300bhp thing may ware out quicker... but i havent really had any major problems as such with it...

great thing is when things break there is an uprated rated version of nearly ever part on the car that cost less than nissan want for a standard one...

if you drive like a clown then you stand a good chace of dying yeah...

dont boost in the wet... take corners in 3rd instead of 2nd in the wet... and just be sensible... should see you right...

ive driven one tuned to 303BHP and 330lbft... if it didnt have the race logic it had... then it would be kinda undriveable in the wet.....

havent update this in a while...

the old brakes were dangerously shockingly sh1t and after having reyland 4-pots on my corsa before hand i wasnt used to crap brakes... so something had to be done...

so i found some r32 gtr brakes at a good price

these are brilliant brakes!

tyres need to be in plenyfull supply with these cars.....

ive been working in a new job so getting time to do things is pain

... so my "to do" list is getting large...

them arb bar boxes are now fitted... my god what a difference they make!!!!

speaking of new jobs... my weekday car/thing

its such a noisy heap of sh1te

this is also sitting in my halway... s15 spec r helical diff

i won this on a ebay auction from a guy in japan.... gotta love the japs

took this today... while the car doesnt really look much different since the last time posted... trust me its all sifferent underneath...

really need to get the clutch and flywheel in.... the engine is now over tunned for the the clutch thats in there now....... so it slipps

thats about it for now...
