Well, as the Silvia went in bits, Ive had t replace it with something for next year.

After a long trek to Scotland - traler in tow to get a car that turned out to be a lemon, I picked this up today from Stoke.

Its a pretty std JDM car (197bhp), imported March this year, but almost a shame to race it - its mint omg Got a few little mods, inc a Genuine Mugen Twin Loop exhaust which is nice and quiet, until VTEC raftl 98 Spec wheels, engine damper, strut braces, new clutch and lightweight flywheel....

Got a full Jap service history, done 69k miles, had new cam belt at 62k. Paintwork is unmarked, with no rust...

Watch this space as the mods get added and the car gets prepped, although I may do the stripping and cage last so I can use itfor a road car for a bit grin

yes very nice, really like the red interior in these and white is by far the best color. Nice one.

I was having a lot of niggles with the Silvia. Struff that doesnt show its head until you give the car beans in tall gears for 20 min races. Just small fiddly parts, costing a few quid to replace but still caused a retirement...

Plus, I was in the same class as some big power cars which I dont have the time / money to compete with - I was in the same class as Neils 600bhp starion!!

So, back to N/A - all I did with the Civic last year was check oil / water and put fuel in it and it was very competitive in its class smile
