Whats the point? You've said it skids amazingly easily, so why loose the AC?? You'll be loving it in these hot days

Why strip it? Is it purely a track car, or daily hack aswell? IMHO stripped daily drivers are for morons. They're just noisier and look stupid. Maybe in an E30 316 it might be worth it, but on a car that drifts so well, if you want to improve power to weight, just turn the boost up a little more??

And why zip tie the aero?? Its on atm, leave it surely? When you take it off with a tyre or cone, then zip tie it, but why not wait for that to happen?

As I said above, its a nice car, hope you get lots of drifting out o it

I have kept my aircon and interior.

this weekend it has been a godsend.

well there you go, weve had our once a year warm weekend, time to chuck it in the bin now! seriously you wouldnt believe how heavy that shit is! probably weighs about the same as a diff!

initial_j · 03-09-2008, 20:06

lots of slidy slidy fun today has resulted in the silvia looking a little, umm, battered!

luckily the front bumper was off for most of the day so is still in good condition. Im thinking though, as i have a tendency to get way too over excited and spin, i might as well one-via it.

main reason, im skint, and if i smash the front in at the moment, itll be a waste of money. hammonds giving me his s13 front, so might as well sell my ps13 front, spend the money on some nice 10j rears to fill the arches and a decent handbrake!

oh and the more observant of you may realise its been lowered a fair bit, still got plenty more to go though....

HellaFlush · 03-09-2008, 20:56

Finally lowered!

Still nowhere near enough of course... Was looking good today matey

NORFY · 03-09-2008, 20:58

there ya go

initial_j · 03-09-2008, 21:01

fucking mint mate! nice one!

NORFY · 03-09-2008, 21:10

sorry, no damage in that one!

initial_j · 03-09-2008, 21:24

oh yeah.....

me thinks itll look sweet!

money i make on selling the front is gonna go on some fecking huge rims for the rears (possibly and spacers), hydro handbrake, subframe bushes, adjustable camber arms and possibly some clear rear lights.

get it all sorted, tuck the loom then slam it to the deck

HellaFlush · 03-09-2008, 21:27

Jack see's the light

royal · 03-09-2008, 21:40

That one-via looks much better than the ps13, deffo approve of that mate. I didn't realise how good they look. Every fduker has ps13 these days anyhow. Glad you've 'worn it in' a bit, I was beginning to feel like the only tramp in the village

HellaFlush · 03-09-2008, 21:42

Id say there were more Silvias / Sil80s than actual S13 fronted 13s today..

Seems the way to be different is go for the cheaper route

OrionRS · 04-09-2008, 00:03

What did you do to it?! Get a proper rear bumper and push dent out be good as new.
But I agree, everone ha PS13 now. Has its upsides (more parts about) but I don't feel as exclusive as I did 2 years ago.

Theres only 3 in BDC IIRC, not exactly everyone driving one. But go onevia Jack.

initial_j · 07-09-2008, 15:49

well, its close to finish. started about, an hour and a half ago!

for this complex job you will need.... a 10mm and 12mm socket and ratchet, and umm, nope thats about it!

really happy with it so far! looks nails!

only problem is my big ass intercooler is out too far to fit a standard bumper back on

feel like shit today so will wait till later to have a go at moving the intercooler back, gotta feeling with how the pipework is, it wont budge, but not a drama, ill just get a bumper that will fit, type 4 uras im thinking. might just cut the cooler into place for now, but thatd make the bumper wobbly as fuck.

rear bumper is nearly back in one piece instead of 3, currently nextdoor in the kitchen waiting for the fibre glass to go off. and need to actually wire in the lights.

initial_j · 07-09-2008, 15:55

with the money raised im getting:

some fucking huuge rear wheels probably with spacers as well
decent front bumper
hydro wand
subframe locking collars as mine have started to knock
front tow eye
adjustable rear camber arms

mechanicly, theres very little i want to do, as more than happy with the power, and no other problems, so if funds permit i may get a big wangan type spoiler, bonnet vent and maybe some strobes before it gets painted.

it will also be getting slammed a lot further than current, but not before ive got some decent wheels on the back.

Hammond · 07-09-2008, 16:07

haha, cool as man! got it back ok then?

initial_j · 07-09-2008, 16:15

lol, just about, got some funny looks. wheres the pictures?

Hammond · 07-09-2008, 18:22

nutter!

NORFY · 07-09-2008, 18:26

how the fook did that stay on there!

landrover s body conversions ftw!

initial_j · 07-09-2008, 18:36

how cool does my rat tow mobile look? lol!

just finished repairing the rear, some serious ammounts of fibre glass and zip ties, but i reckon its done the job quite well:

nice to have a back end on again!

cant wait to get new rims and the front bumper on
