Smile New but not really - from Ireland!

Hi everyone!

JP here from Ireland, I've been a member on here for a while but haven't done much posting as you might have gathered. I currently drive the Sapphire Blue S14a you see in my sig & have her working right finally shoving out a good 436bhp & 512Nm of torque or 415bhp & 544Nm depending on whose dyno you prefer!

I haven't drifted her before as she's my daily driver but since I'm looking for a new home for her, if she sells as one she may end up being a weapon of a drift-car for someone!

Current spec is as follows:

Head ported by Martin Treacy @ Westward Precision Engineering

GReddy Top-Fed Fuel Rail
SARD 1000cc injectors
FJO Racing Low Impedance Injector Driver
SARD Type-RJ Fuel Pressure Regulator

800bhp Front-mounted Intercooler
Custom intercooler stainless steel hard-piping by Calicagesracing
MOCAL 19-row oil cooler with thermostatically-controlled sandwich-plate and 10mm braided oil lines
800bhp Aluminium race radiator
Nismo 1.3bar radiator cap

Mapped for E85 Bioethanol (104RON) by Stiv
Blitz Dual-SBC Spec-R Dual Solenoid Boost controller
