Gutted mate

I know the rocky boat your in at the moment. I found a hole in my S13 when I was changing the clutch and gearbox. luckly I had the time and a decent mechanic to sort it right away for me.

comes with the territory of the S13 im affraid. mine was no way near as bad as yours tho.

This is the reason why I went for a 180 and Silvia matey - unless your looking at a late 14 or 14a they are starting to all get the dredded rot now - especially the S13s.

Have you had a check of the rear chassis leg - behind the rear wheels - that is also a common place for them to start going frown

Totally gutted mate - really thought this one may have lasted you a few years frown

Not yet stu matey will be putting it in for the mot in march so i'll know better then.

But i have decided no matter how bad it is i will be keeping this car even if it means stripping it right back to the shell.

If you still want to use that DB elbow I can cut it and re-weld it at the correct angle!...bet Mr know-it-all wouldn't have thought of that...
