Pizzaboy's PS13

Out with the old...






....in with the new





Big thanks to Hexham-Scott of Skylineparts.Com for such setting up and maintaining such a superb capable car. And such a honest friendly chap to boot.

I'm totally skint at this moment in time due to the above purchase but I look forward to saving cash, getting practice sessions in, gaining a BDC license and meeting the drivers from this forum. And most of all having a shitload of fun in the process

Again many thanks to Scott and partner. Will meet you guys again no doubt.

Cheers.

Yeah Tor has made it a pretty monsterous car! ( PowerDrift.no :: Vis Temaet - Tor`s S13 Silvia #4 )I think it's close to 500bhp odd. He basically had the time and finance back then to turn it into what I wanted it to be. I simply didn't. But things have finally changed and I'm very very lucky this came up at the right time. I'm not a fan of building (mainly because err...I can't!), I'm better off buying a completed machine outright and just concentrate on skills and maintenance.

Nahh, for me.. Being a bit of a lifestyler, a White PS, with carbon bonnet, wings, and doors is just about perfection

Obviously would be an expensive way to hit the tyres

True...

It could be the different angles in the pics, it just looks really high.

It's a combination of pic angles and different bodykit. It actually sits at roughly the same height but the bodykit isn't as lairy. The front bumper isn't as deep (points upwards unlike the last one which went downwards) which is a godsend for fastroad/city driving. As mentioned it's actually setup far better than my previous ps13. The last one had Section RM8 coilovers, all arms, rods F&R, Largus ARB, corner weighted etc etc all great stuff but the car ground out a lot on roads which meant it was impossible to drive at speed on country roads. It was only good for drifting and posing, twas shit at everything else. It was a pig to drive about generally. Like a proper lifestyler car. After getting the Eurodrift license back then I realised I wanted something more focused so got shot of it.

It's handy to be able to compare the differences of my previous "streeto-spec" PS13 and my current competition spec one, literally every aspect is better (bar getting IN the thing due to the hefty cage) It's a superior drift car and it's so much fun to fast road. The difference the cage makes to the feel of the car is very noticable as is the wider track. Brakes and calipers F&R are off an R32 GTR as well. The TEIN "super drift" coilovers ride great. I can actually go airborne in this thing. I've since had a practice day at Teeside and drifted it for the first time and all I can say is . It's a proper machine. I'm taking it to trackdays too.

Regarding the graphics I like them but they have to go, unfortunately a particular section of Glasgows social class have on more than on one occasion spouted abuse at me for apparently flying the "red rose of England" on the side of my car. So for the cars sake I'm in the process of removing. Another reason is it's too distinctive, a problem for those err quite sunday drives atm. My feeble attempts went as far as the front end (ish!) and I subsequently gave up lol, gonna get a professional in. Heres how it looks so far:


When complete it'll look like this



I got a new sponsor too wahay! :





Look forward to seeing the scots mob at a drift day soon. And clarkeysan of course you can have a shot in it

HAHAHAHA!!! That actually made me nearly piss myself

Car looks a trillion time better without the graphics, which is weird at the same time 'cause I quite liked them.
