Hello, I'm Ollie. I got involved in drifting a year ago after purchasing a rotten Eunos Roadster, and later on an e36 323 as can be seen in this video i put together of Lydden Hill practise day - A year on I've managed to get together the cash to purchase and even more rotten ca18det s13... It's been played about with already, mostly aesthetic parts as per the photos. The day of purchase - {} A day after purchase - fitting an LSD and rehanging the exhaust - {} A friend of mine put it up on his ramp. So many holes... [emoji29] {} {} {} {} Anybody for Kouki lights? {} Assessing and welding the centre box up (first time welding and lots more to come no doubt) {} {} I was given this down pipe with the car. Unfortunately the studs on the turbo were so rusted that I couldn't get the old one off. Looks like I will be removing the turbo to do that job! {} So yeah that's it so far. To begin with I'm going to concentrate on getting the shell solid. Thankfully my brother is handy with curing rust issues and will be lending me a hand! Update 14/09/15 Got my shiny down pipe fitted, thanks to my brother for his help once again {} Put a harness in and a new seat belt for the passenger side as it wasn't working correctly {} {} Also picked up a set of standard lights and a fuel tank from someone breaking an s13 yesterday {} New gasket and bolts arrived today so I shall get those fitted up. Complimentary Maoams were included too! {} Welding on hold until next weekend. Can't wait to get on with it. Cambelt and full service to be done this Thursday evening. Equally excited to do that... Update 21/09/15 Belt and pump done this evening! With thanks to a redneck friend of mine who likes VWs too much {} {} {} Service to be done on Wednesday... Also, went to Brighton and took some photos of it the other night {} {} Update 26/09/15 Managed to get time to change the plugs and do an oil change. Yes, my engine is tiny and I can stand inside my engine bay. {} And then some sunrise pictures to follow... {} {} Ordered and received a windscreen wiper stalk in the hope that it might sort out my lack of a working wiper. Unfortunately no such luck [emoji107][emoji107]
That's a good looking 13 bud, like the colour and the stance. Shame about the rust but that's the nissan life! Should keep you busy anyway. Good luck, Hopfully see you Down lydden or pod. Cant see your video link btw....
Whoa that's gonna need a fair bit of sheet metal, good luck. Like the colour and wheels though, very nice
Ooft she's fair ripe. Just been through repairing all the rust on my UK S13. Stick with it, I almost decided to pack it in a couple times finding more and more but it was all worth it in the end!
No, I knocked him down somewhat and got him to throw in a load of goodies. I did a bad job of checking the car over in all honesty, probably could've haggled a bit harder!!
Was this on ebay? Its a really nice looking 13. If ita the same one from the bay recently i messaged the kid begging hin to split it and sell me those d mod steals and kouki lights... he never replied. Keep at it. Get that rust welded up and have somw fun in it bro!

So, finally an update after 6 months! I've been away in France since December. Car was stored in a dry garage for the duration. Ive had it up on axle stands for a couple of days, assessing welding and other bits to do before MOT time. Hoping to have it done before the end of June. Have some photos
I read that about the wiper and was about to mention that Passenger loom. I wore through mine at a drift day in the wet and lost wipers. Looks like you have your work cut out for you with this one. Stick at it and it'll be worth it!
I photoshopped it the other day and wasn't entirely sure on the outcome! I'll post the photo up when I find it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
And thanks for the comment about the loom. It confirmed my suspicions [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
