Hi, My name is Aidan i have been browsing on the Driftworks forum for about 2 years now but never thought about making an account or making a thread of my s13 but now i thought it is the right time to show how far it has come in the last 10 months, i am 16 years old i have a part time job in a local garage and i have just started college doing Motorsport i have been into drifting for about 4 years only because of my dad he has a s14a some of you may know him Mark Clarence but yeah i got the s13 one week before Christmas after saving for months to get one i finally found one on ebay not too far from me bidding at £490 and not too much wrong with it other than abit of rust on the wheel-arch but i had been looking at it for a few days and there was 1 minute left so i thought i will put in a cheeky bid at £510 and i ended up winning it and collected it a week after i won it, it came with 4 months tax and MOT,front mount intercooler, jp performance exhaust system turbo back, front and rear subframe poly bushed and an oil pressure and boost gauge, Right thats enough of my life lets get on with the Pictures This is how i bought it. After a few weeks of owning it i bought a set of lowered springs for it of here Which made it look like this Then i did a few other bits like a spin off drift button and under-seal the arches then i got some origin side skirts off and some cheap wheels with tyres and it ended up looking like this With my dads s14a but i wasn't happy with the ride height so for my 16th birthday my dad got me some apex coilovers for £200 surprisingly they didn't come with bushes in the bottom of the coilovers for some reason so i contacted apex performance and they had a pair for £15 posted so i got them i was really happy with height other than the splitter scraping on the floor every time i take it out the garage, but i went to a santa pod weekender a few months back and picked up some yellow film for the front lights http://i1256.photobucket.com/albums...e it and ill keep the updates coming :thumbs:
Could someone tell me how to put the pictures up properly so you don't have to click the link on Photobucket please
Hey dude cars looking really good come pretty far since u picked it up! Nice to see someone so young taking summin like this on.. i started at 19! iv been putting up a build thread for my car this weekend if you wonna take a look
I recently bought a tubular manifold and braided lines off and i am waiting to go and collect a t28, due to the t25 oil seals have gone and after about 2 minutes of the car running it starts to puff smoke on idle. The ca18 should be pretty good after ive got the turbo setup done. a few months back my clutch started slipping so i went and bought an exedy clutch and should be fitting it this weekend Ive got some genuine kouki rear spats but haven't fitted them yet and i dont know if i want to because i don't have a kouki rear bumper its hard to get the middle section to fit and the kouki rear bumper are quite abit of £££ so i dont know if im going to fit them My new oil catch tank i fitted i just need to get some new lines and a few blanking plugs but i don't know where to get them from so ill probably have to make something instead
I like your S13. Nice car. Keep on moving. By the way, why do we need upgraded oil catch tank? Thanks.
haha your Cat diggs your clutch Stance gotten way better with the apexes man! and you are only 16.. i'm jelous mate! Keep it up! Following!
haha Thanks and it is for any excess oil that is unwanted and helps prevent sludge and dirty oil most modified cars need them
yeah the cat was liking the clutch when i first got it lol and yeah should be getting some 25mm spacers to make it look better and im going to roll the rear arches foe more clearance.
