Couple of pics

Engine and build

Photo's taken with my phone camara as my camara's broken.

I have just bought 444cc injectors

2 cobra seat rails for my bucket seats

2 sebelt 3 point harnesses

New ps13 lights

and am in to minds weather to change the front now or get a cage?????

Front change would be carbon bonnet.

Chris is going to sort the avcr out for me as its all over the place but the car goes verywell and sounds great turns in great and will NOT be taken apart anytime soon

Needs some bits of the body sorting out as stevie wounder has done some repairs and the are some bubble of rust be the colours great and might have some more wheels (advans) on the way thats 20 alloys

Lookin good Tone!!!

About time you put some pics up!!

...and it works!!!

or it does just now anyway lol

I'll give it a week

Just booked myself on a drift day at the pod on the 11th of june if anybody wants to come.

Also bought these little bits

tein rods and rod ends

They are stronger then the standard ones and help get more steering angle due to the spacer you get with it and added to the driftworks bottom arms i should get taxi lock



Driftworks Lower Arm Front

Benefits


Allows you to increase your track (the width of your wheelbase).
Gives more precise steering control and feedback.
Elimates all interferance, binding and slop in your suspension when used with our adjustable tension control arm's.
Superior braking stability.
Accomodates more steering angle.

Just bought myself a XS power manifold (better than the standard one will do untill apex make one)

Also got a apex elbow

and have sorted somthing out for the car so it looks better pics comming soon.

Pic of the manifold



stuff is ment to be arriving this week so the misses will be moaning even more now.

well be spending again

bought some skyline rear calipers (single pot) as i am thinking of getting a
hydraulic handbrake.

drifty handbrake button thing and wheel nuts for the advans and other wheels i cant get the standard nuts on.

And some difty little chav must of known i had ordered a chargespeed carbin vented bonnet as they put a BIG dirty scratch down the bonnet of the car only had it since friday RRRRRRRRR

Bonnet looks like this but in carbon.




But for a uk s13.

Today i have bought a bodykit the front bumper dosnt need painting but the skirts and rear bumper do so when they go on i'll have the arches tidied up.

The sil80 frontend conversion will happen nextyear once i have done alot of driftdays.





pic it up weds the 4th

also bought some lightweight pullys and throttle pully.

My harnesses and seat frames arrived today from tweeks and my drift button tein rod and rodends and driftworks front bottom arms too had to buy this though as i didtn think on and need this for the bottom arms to work

Driftworks Tension Rods




Just need to fit everything now lol

"Just need to fit everything now lol" I'll be doin that then! lol

I'll make the tea

Will be doing a fair bit myself matey but will need help

Looking forward the 11th of june off to santa pod if anybody fancies comming down for a bit of dori dori

Tony, with all this cash, youd have been better off just buying a 180 with the SR already fitted

Yer would of but insurance would of killed me as i still have to pay insurance on the pug till Donna gets her own now she has past her test.

Just bought myself a s14 diff and will be getting it welded up for the 11th of june ready for the pod.

Also will be ordering myself a carbon boot from chargespeed monday.

The actuators buggered on the car which is why i have been getting boost round 5k and the avcr not being able to control the boost propley so will be changing that aswell.

Well just paid for my crystal type side indercaters buying the stuff for the frontend conversion while the bits come up at the right price.

Wont be changing the frontend till nextyear when i buy wider wings and a ps bonnet.

Will be chucking the 444 injectors and the spacers on this week i hope spacers are 30mm rears and 25 fronts

Must admit i feel right at home in this car and want to make the best track/drift almost show car i can with the little money i have.

Really nice motor bud, i love the way you get a car and use them the way they are ment to be used mate, my kind of man ! xxx

Cheers Mate i have always belived a sports car should be used as one.

Once the avcr n boost problems sorted and i find a big empty space you can have a play in it if you like.

nice one, i'll take you up on that bud !

Can do Andy i'll get you hooked on rwd

yer, i'd like that, never really had much to do with rwd cars, chewy never offers (well once in a blue blue moon) so that be good mate.

Well bought my carbon boot will arrive when my bonnet does also bought the lamex (think its called that) to go with it.

ALSO got pulled by 2 liverpool plan clothed police saying i was speeding (which i wasnt) in a silver galaxy.

what happened bout the speeding mate? Assuming they had no evidence so were just being gits?

Yer told me off and didnt belive that i had only just bought the car so ran all the tests (dis sound like the normal i havnt got anything legal rubbish)

Kept me for 20mins looked over the car with much interest.

Dont mind being stopped to be honest as its there job.

Just so long as it dont get stupid like when you had the BMW iirc?

I know what ya mean tho mate, good to know they were checking, could well have been a stolen car with the "just bought it" story.

True the bm was a puller though.

So is ya ma!! lol

True but we have all had YOUR ma in fact

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv





Couple of pics thanks to Joe for these.
















Managed to fit one bucket seat but the runners i got from tweeks are CRAP drivers side goes close needed modding to fit and the passenger ones agood 4mm out eachside so have one seat in the car at the min rear benches out too as i need wheel space plus saves asmall amount of weight.

Just got back from sunderland having picked up my bodykit and lightweight pullys kits should be getting fitted the end of june and the arches sorted not having a full respray as the cars getting drifted for a while then once the frontend conversion happens its wider fenders

also picked up my welded diff will put it on asoon as.

Well after the wkend i should have

welded diff on with solid mounts
bucket seats in
spacers on
bottom arms on
tein rod and rod ends on

then its off the pod to be drifted YAY

how you gonna get all that done when you are always asleep on the couch? lol

You heard of sleep walking well this is sleep fixing

Prob do a better jon asleep

Going to do as much as i can most important ones the diff and seat anything else is a bonus

Went the pod today had a top top day

Only issue i had with the car was it was getting close to over heating so took the bonnet off and a rear subframe bush died so solid once to come.

Also need to fit these bits

Lights are for the frontend conversion nextyear.















welded diff


Pullies


skyline rear calipers


PS lights


seats in and rear stripped



And couple of random ones of the car

Couple if better pics of the car and the leaking bush and the dirty scratch some little tit has done on the bonnet

Pitty they look like burnouts lol

Couple more pics

Got my sil80/ps13 sidlights in crystal verynice have everything i need to do the frontend change but will be getting more skidding time untill i change it.











Car needs to go lower though just waiting to order the rear bottom arms and i'll do everything at once tein rods and ends and set it up for drifting

Front:
-2.5 camber
7.5 degrees caster
0 toe

Rear:
-1 camber
2mm toe in

Will also widen the track of the car.

lookin good

How did you gt the scratch on your bonnet?

Not keen on the crystal lights mate
what happened to the other ones?

Cheers Joe matey

The crystal lights are sidelights matey

To go with the front lights.




And as the scratch well some dirty ... bag did it 3 days after i got it at the top of my road pitty i dont know who it is havea a idea though.

Looking at getting a racing rad nextweek too and some better fans to keep the cooling down.

Bought these lights for when the front bumper goes on which fingers crossed should be at the end of the month




Wanted to put the diff on today but as i cant use my garage yet and the weathers crap RRRRRR

Dont want to end up having amillion parts again with non fitted :

Nice additions,Oh and CLEAR YOUR GARAGE springs to mind lol or set a gazebo up and strap it to the lamp post :-)

Just ardered some lamex glass for the rear 1/4 windows should help save alittle more weight

Oh my god just looked at what needs fitting to the car

manifold
bottom arms
tein rod and rod ends
spacers
apex rad
injectors
welded diff
subframe bushed (solid)
apex elbow (need to pay for it)
bodykit
wide fenders (poss buying)
carbon bonnet n boot (not arrived yet)
lemax windows rear and rear 1/4s

jebus wish i hadnt writen that as its more than i though lol

Will have welded diff and solid bushes will go on before the drift day at the pod on the 9th

The rest later on in aug and sept

well if you need a hand bud, you know where chris live's

Chris can i lend a hand then well is the answer

YaY have my garage back so treated my car to new wheel mmmm verynice nice they are too and a new clutch as mines starting to slip

if you intrested mate we can sort a deal out on all the stuff you need fitting

I am listening matey

Next for the car and to be ordered this week are


apex rad
11" fan
50mm spacers
and poss wider finders for the car to go with

My new rps clutch and sweet wide wheels (worthy))

Cars off the bodyshop for the kit to be sprayed and fitted and the rust sorted.

Also off the pod on the 9th of july anybody fancing commin???

Bought myself some SWEEEEEEEEET RIMS



18" rota gtr's 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears will be getting 215/40/18's and 225/40/18's on them.

Cant wait to get them as i love these wheels.

Also bought a new clutch which will be good for my drifting its a RPS MAX PUCK

Love them rims.

keep the mods coming

...just dont fook this one up too!

No mate this one's for keeps hence why i am doing it proper

makes a change in you doing things proper mate im so lovin the wheels there smart as fook and keep the mods comin it will look mint once finished

if your "doin things proper" this time,why havnt you fitted ANYTHING yet??? lol

1. havnt had the garage till now
2. working 60hr weeks and trying to sort wedding stuff out on my days off going to liverpool--chester--and elly port shopping
3. when i was about to sort stuff it RAINED
4. I am in no rush to do the work
5. Cos i am lazy like your mother

And installing 18" wheels! I'd personally go 15"/16" maximum! Anything over really messes with balljoints and steering arms, and wishbones, =especially= if you're thinking of lowering (or already have).

well from personally i would not go that small an a larger wheel gives better handling at high speeds when drifting. I am running 18" on my 200 sx with coilovers an a very low ride hight an never had any problms

The reason drifters get away with using bigger wheels is that you can usually get very low profiles(40 or less) on the bigger tyres which will give a strong side wall without much flex-so no need for small rims...

plus the 18s are for show as i dont have that much cash for tyres while drifting.

Will be drifting on the 15-16 and 17 inch wheels i have.


As for the arms on and car most of the suspensions been upgraded with drift spec stuff removing bushes and so on with solid stuff.

Most EDC drivers run the cars on 18s but they have sponsors to pay for there tyres

yep.

Well just got in old diffs off ran out of light though so havnt put the other one on will go on friday.

Also got myself a transit fan which i will be fitting should keep the heat down.

Ah right, drifting. The steering setup is a right mess when you have a look at lowered and massive wheels, the geometry is bollocks. I suppose it's different for what you are doing though,.

Well what do you think about my choice of arches???



Was going to get wide fenders but thought i would break with the norm and get these.

i reckin thats a good choice mate

Yer they look the dogs i think.

When you next out as i promised a play in my next 200 didnt i.

yup god knows when ill see you next matey.. ill hang around wee i last saw you lol

Well i have just bought the arches so kits not getting sprayed as the arches will be going on rather than the kit so more saving LOL

well as some of you may know i bought jun stlye arches as the arches on my car are fooked.

They should arrive this week so fingers crossed fitted by the end of the motnh.

After asking a few people i should only need 25mm spacers to fill the arches running my gtr's







If thats not enough i have dw bottom arms so could get extra width from them

one word


Beefy

well welded diffs on just need 2 bolts as the s14 diffs needs solid bushes to fit proper and the s13 bolts dont fit (not long enough) will be getting some monday.

Just need to fit the fan which i will do monday/tuesday

My solid subframe bushes have arrived but wont have time to put them on before i go the pod.

Also fitted the welded diff.

And bought a apex turbo elbow.

Wheels havnt arrived yet hoping they are here by weds.

Once this driftdays been and gone all get to working fitting all the parts i have bought which should take me some time LOL

Oh and bought myself a nice camara so can start getting pics done again.

Tony - when are you gonna start fitting some of this shit, and not just buying it

Now i have been the pd (today) i'll begin fitting bits

SUBFRAMES GOOSED now so will be doing that as soon as

The kit will go on once i have the money and the arches can wait till i change the frontend.

I'll get some pics up from today once i get them was a top day pitty ir rained all day though.

some dori pics from the pod

Day came at a price though

Clutch isnt good lol

£115 on fuel

subframes bushes are shot

and still getting alittle bit to warm but who cars was a top day

lovin this pic fully locked ???

need to introduce myself and say a hellooo, and a howdy do to you, go for a lil shotgun ride sometime , can pay back with some wrench time, i'm pretty handy wit the ol' spanners

you seen the yellow ps13 in brombourough, i was drooling all over the deep dished polished rims today (i want )

Yer i like that pic too was looking on my inside as Phil morrision was trying to come up the inside of me and i was crapping myself LOL The fella's USED TO BE EDC DRIFT CHAMPION in this lush S15










Its 600bhp and worth alot of cash really didnt want to hit it

Yer seat times not a problem matey.

The ps13 is a lad called Dave he also has a R32 gtr and a r33 gtr both mental

I am off the pod on the 10th of spet come down matey get all the seat time you want.

Just cleaned the car as it was rotten and put my 25m spacers on the rear but the rims scrub slighty with the 235 tyres on should be ok with a strech. Wont have any tyre moeny to get tyres on the Rota's i have bought untill i get DOH

Couple more pics









Also changed my order with my bonnet not getting a uk s13 bonnet now getting a sil80 carbon bonnet arrives November so will be changing the frontend around then as i dont want to wait.

I saw this on tuesday. Thought it was brilliant.

Have you got a welded diff or is it a pretty harsh lock? Im tempted to weld mine cause it keeps breaking, and i need to get more sideways fun in, but im not sure if i could be arsed with the skittishness.

To be honest its ok to drive dosnt skip to bad well only when i park or take sharp corners.

Well worth doing my rears are 235s aswell.

The diff was welded by a mate who has done loads give us a shout if you want me to ask him dosnt cost much.

Well started removing the sound deading from the car today (while in wor on my breaks LOL)

And my wheels turned up YAY they look great tyres going on friday cant wait.

8.5 fronts 9.5 rears

fronts have stretched 215/45/18's and the rears have 225/45/18's

Wow....
They look fooking Fantastic Dude

couple more pics








Still have 25mm spacers if i fancy it lol

Those wheels look well swish.

Cheers for the welding offer, ill keep it in mind. Im not sure what im going to be doing in 3 months time, wether ill be working or in uni so im going to wait till then. I might be getting an s13 or s14 if i keep working anyway so it might be worth leaving it alone for now. Im tempted by an atb slipper too in an anglia casing so i can fit 6.5" rears.

They look mint, yes like a polo

MMMMMMM.....Minty Fresh...

I dont think You'll need the Spacers Tony....whaddya Reckon??

Only when i get the arches on but thats nextyear.

Cheers for the comments peeps

Cars getting better all the time just needs a service now

wow! wow & wow! absolutely love them wheels

Cheers mate have always wanted these wheels.

Working my backside off to build a good car for road/drift use starting to pay off now.

they look sweet as fook tony really suit the car

Deffo doesn't need the spacers until you get your arches

Would need to roll them ALOT if i put them on at the mo

Loving the new look though.

Wont be buying anything else for a while now (well maybe sil80 vented front wings).

Just going to get round to fitting all my parts.

Trying to get hold of 4 stud skyline rear disks so i can put my 2 pots on and maybe get a wond (hydraulic handbrake) as my handbrake kept sticking up when i didnt want it to.

looks great tone, shaping up well, you should sell me them wheel for my next car

nice wheels mate

Got a new camara so cleaned the car and got some better pics with new rims on.

Still having cooling problems relly need a viscus fan if anybody has one.

Honestly man, just seeing that first picture.....Jesus...

Is it wrong to like a car so much ??????

lookin really good tony...........

Cheers for all the comments guys

I am loving it too.

Still have alot to do on the car and more stuff to get.

Looking forward to seeing what it looks like once the kits on and the front ends been changed.

Cars looking great mate.

I have a viscous fan somewhere in my garage if you want it?

looking good bud

tony mate car is lookin smart those pics are great and the car is even better in the flesh as i saw this on tuesday at the rock and OMG its amazin especially those wheels

Please metey really need one.

Doubt a BMW one will fit - they are not a universal fitment

Tony, fit a 'leccy one and fit an over-ride switxh in the car to have it on all the time when drifting

....I had about 3 viscous fans for S13s but junked them all a few months back

Jokin arnt you Stuy; Tony only buys mate,does not know the meanin of "Fitting" lol

YAWN

Prove me wrong!

me thinks a duel has now been set

I proved ya mam wrong and she loved it

oooooooo bit below the belt that

Tis ok mate work with Chris he knows i am playing

...yeah just not with cars...lol

drifting at dawn then?

"I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning...... smells like...... victory"

Right Jones i'll see you at the top of the mountian at sundown loser leaves town.

I reckon that sounds like the proverbial gauntlet slap to the face Stu!

if its a drift off Tony...who's the daddy???

We shall see in BDC nextyear my sidways chum

If it was on gravel, in a Mk II Escort (Preferably in a forest) I think I know who'd win Hint Hint...

Whens this Drift off happening then??

We are both hoping to get a drift lisence and compete in BDC nextyear BRITISH DRIFT CHAMPIONSHIP.

Chris is a good drifter so should be good as we both have completly different ways of drifting.

Bought more bits to help with my drifting a hydraulic handbrake kit.




Incase you done know what it looks like LOL


Already have skyline rear calipers and have ordered some 300zx grooved disks drilled to 4 stud for my motor.

Found the standard handbrake ok but kept getting it stuck up plus the disks and pads need changing so though i may aswell upgrade.

Been told its simple to put this lot on but have no faith in my myself so will need help fitting this lot if anybody wants to help.

Hydraulic Handbrake, the Saviour of Rallying

I wouldnt have thought of using the handbrake for drifitng, dont you just use the rear wheel driveness to full effect (Kick Throttle, steer, balance throttle ??)


Id offer my Services to help you fit it, but Ive never actually fitted one myself, so I doubt Id be much use. Hel, my Driver hasnt even fitted one, as we still have a standard handbrake in the rallycar...Its on the list tho..

Your house must be gettin pretty full now...of bits you have not fitted!!

Maybe hes going to drift the house

I have some sticky tape in the bedroom and am making a car.

Ive just been thinking to myself sir... Are Hydraulic Handbrakes legal for road use, cos they have no Ratchet System???


Thats if you still plan to use it on the road

don't they have lever for constant pressure? I'm sure I read it some place.

Generally a pin is used in the actual lever mech - this holds the lever in the on position and is perfectly legal.

Dont forget Rally cars doing multi venue rallys are Taxed / tested / insured for driving between stages...

Ahhh..Me forgets...

The old Fiat Uno Turbo Rallycars used to have 2 systems on the rear wheels, one for the hyrdaulic, and one for the standard handbrake. Seems like over engineering to me tho

Thats generally used so as when you stop after giving the caar a good trashing, your not locking the hot pads to the disc with the handbrake - this caused hot spots on the discs and encouraged warping of the disks.

Some large and high performance cars still run 2 calipers to get round this, some makers use an inboard drum so the same brakes are not used, and some just rely on brake technology in discs and pads to make sure the same caliper / friction surface can be used for both

Got ya...Cheers for clearing it all up. We still need to fit a hydraulic handbrake to the rallycar, the standard one is too much effort to pull for a hairpin, so we dont bother usually. Plus with not having much power, good corners can help us make up time.


Do many drifters actually use the handbrake tho??

depends on the skill of the driver I guess and the track being used, if I was to go from a straight into a corner I'd use it to initiate the drift but if the car had is weight shifted to on side you could clutch kick it out. If you was transitioning from a leftside drift straight into a right then the back end should have enough swing to it in order to not use the Ebrake.

What he said ^^^^^^^^^ plus when sidways slowing the car down with the footbrake can often straighten the car up which is poo so you flick the handbrake to slow you down but keeping you sidways while comming on and off the power.

(every drifter drifts differently)

Check video out

clicky

Videos worth a watch too but your looking for 2mins in for some incar footage and then 2-58ish for the scoobys.

There is more though.

Fitting the wand isnt to hard (well for me it maybe )

This is how its dont (lad in the driftworks chaser in vid sent me info) bon-bon.

the line that fits to the rear port of the handbrake cylinder goes to the rear output on the master cylinder, replacing the stock front-rear line, then the line that fits to the front port of the handbrake cylinder goes to the t-peice at the rear of the car, so replacing the entire front-rear copper line.

Then you just bleed it like normal, and off you go, hydraulic handbrake done!

Just thought i would add this vid as the car initiates at around 120 with the handbrake (hydraulic handbrake) same type i just bought (pitty Phills cars better gives those who dont know abit more imput on why difters use handbrakes.

http://www.vimeo.com/1477552

Also started to finaly get the car ready for the bits i am fitting.

Took the boot off and rear bumper as i will be getting mine nextweek and keep running my other bumper over when i put the car away.

Will be painting the bumper and skirts myself as the cars not getting sprayed till Jan so will be about 4 different colours.

Also started taking the rear subframe off ready to fit the solid bushes and will remove the brake lines and fit the new ones for the handbrake while there.

soooo.... no bits actually fitted then?? lol

not jealous

YAWN

Finaly got round to fitting (trying to fit) some of my bits today.

Managed to fit passenger side driftworks bottom arms and tension rods along with my tein rod and rod ends bottom ball joing was a pain in the arse and well seezed so ended up taking the whole arms to kwick fit and having it heated and pressed out.
Also for some reason my rods and rod ends never came with a locking nut so got to find/source one from somwere.





Took me forever to do one side as i also needed stilsons and ball-joint splitter which i never had and good old halfraunds ripped me off with LOL.

The otherside was a nightmere and will need to go to a garage to be done as one of the last owners has rounded almost eveybolt off and i have no power at my garage to grind the buggers off.

Arms look good though FTW

Oh yeah forgot to mention the link bars for the anti-roll bars at the front are fooked so will need to replace them might aswell get white-lines while i am there.


Was hoping to have all the arms done and the rearsubframe off today but Judging by what has happened today and that i am off to get married and wont have time to work on it i prob wont be drifting at the pod on the 13th of sept its not worth taking a poorly car GUTTED.

Need to fix subframe
oil leak
over heating problem
tracking
rubbing at the front
Alignment
Oh and its now blowing from the elbow
__________________

....time to stop buying bits and use the money to pay someone to fit your current stocks

erm think i am already fitting parts stu

I know mate

..but you said it wasnt going too well. Maybe rather than buy more new bits, pay someone to fit what you already have bought

If i dont try i will not learn.

Need to get arb and a gasket for the turbo elbow but apart from that not buying anything for a while.

Well i say that

...what happened to the ones you bought off me??

they were sold when i broke the old red 200 for bits

My chargespeed Carbon bits arrived today.







Also my lexan rear screen too.

Should have my sil80 wings anytime soon.

likin the bonnet dude will look smart

Managed to get the arms off the drivers side was a nightmere yet again the ball-joint was seezed managed somhow to get the bottom arm off with mole grips and wacking a smaller socket on over the well rounded nut.

Once i got the arm off took the ball joing off using a very large and very heavy hammer thank god these arms havnt got any.





Need to sort the subframe out next and get all the front lined up correctly and get the covers for the tein rods were it meets the rack.

Good Stuff Tone, you're finally getting there.

I HATE working with suspension and I know how much of a barstard it can be lol

Lovin the carbon bits, must have set you back a bit of wedge??

Yer £50 each donnas made up BARGAIN

Worked alot of hours but was somthing i wanted plus they are super light and save paint when it comes to getting the car painted but thats nextyear.

Want to get the rear subframe done now once thats done i'll attempt to get the arms lined up propley.

My disks still havnt turned up yet which is getting alittle frustrating as i want the hydro fitted but cant do it till the disks are here cos the standard calipers are crap and the skyline ones wont work on my standard disks.

If i am aloud to play with the car on sunday (got wedding bits to do again ) will try and get the manifold and elbow on as i have the correct gaskets now. Trying to as much as poss before my wedding this way i dont have much to do before the drift day (if i make it )

Which is brave for me as i dont mind messing with suspension and body bits but hate messing with the engine side of things cos i dont want to kill it

thought thats wot your speciality is

No scott my speciality is taking them aprt when they work and never put them back together.

(right i really need to go to bed )

We will make a spanner monkey out of you yet. lol

I am trying

if anything like today is anything to go by then hell no


Well this is a job i dont want to do again.

Managed to fit my manifold today what a pain in the arse it was too. I tell you 200's are built by small children or men with very small hands as trying to get to the last two bolts on the car was nothing short of a piss take took me for ever LOL.

Anyways the manilfolds on but couldnt get the elbow on as i need to get some heat into the nuts/studs holding it on as YET AGAIN there all rounded off or just stuburn and wont turn.

Was hoping to have it done today but nevermind atleast its started.

spot the mistake

Been a while since i updated this.

Been away got married like the fool i am so little has been fitted but now the wedding and parties are out the way work has started.

tub-Manifold and apex elbow are all together and water feed looped back into the block and no longer through the turbo so fingers crossed the car will run cooler at driftdays.

bought my sil80 chargerspeed 30mm wider front fenders.





and bumper lights (not my car in pic)

Carbon boots on just thinking if i should rivet the window in aswell as the glue???

Car will be running on my nextday off which is monday and then the frontend will be changed over by the start of oct.

Well bit of a mixed day today.

tried to fit the manifold and elbow on the car and for some reason the elbow wont go on the exhaurst will this be becasue its off a s14 and mines a s13???? not worth me putting my old elbow on as its blowing so will have to get another Apex one.

Cracked on changing the frontend and putting the boot on (still havnt glued the window in yet still need to pick the glue up. Panel gaps need sorting aswell but its comming together and should looks great.

Getting there with the body Tone

Stay away from anything technical - you and engines just dont go

Well, when I say they don't go, theres only one place for them to go... the scrappy

Looking good.

How easy does the PS13 stuff fit on the S13? I know the Sil80 came about from the fact silvia front ends are easier and cheaper to replace but ive no idea how much of a job it is.

Joe i need to learn

The change overs easy enough just a straight swap for the wings bumper and bonnet (well its ment to be)

Need brackets for the lights and possible a bracket or 2 making up for the bumper in the middle.

Getting there.

Wasnt sure what pins to get for the bonnet but think i will get these



And finish off putting the frontnd together.

Had some spare cash in the bank that i didnt think i had so bought the aftermarket elbow the right one this time so hoping this arrives before my days off so i can get the car running again so i can turn it round and take the rear subframe off ready for sandblasting and painting plus have the new solid bushes fitted.

Once all thats done i'll fit the hydro (with alittle help) rear skyline calipers and disks.

Got a nice shiny elbow in the post today and some nice clear front bumper lights for the ps13 bumper so fingers crossed the car will be running and the frontend on by tuesday.

Fitted the eblow in the front room which the wife loved LOL.



Its all ready to go on monday now.

Its even fitted the right way this time LOL

Managed to get the manifold back on its a job i hope i dont have to do again its a pain in the rearend.

Its now running tub manifold and db power elbow not sure what power gains that will give me.





Also going to make a start on the rusty bits before the sil80 frontend goes on propley.

Got the car started its smoking alittle which it wasnt doing before i took the tubby off.

Also started on the conversion and fitted the bodykit needs work doing to fit right (dont they all)

But i am impressed how the cars starting to take shape lights should be on Tuesday and the window in the carbon boot.

nice one tony, that looks really nice already.

very nice indeed, look at the smoke damage lol

Coming along nicely,Will be great when finished. That carbon boot is sweet!

Thankfully thats not off my car YET

Cheers guys will have the rest done tomra

More work done.

Bonnet grill and lights on and screen in the back.

Need to put the bumper lights in which i will do later on.

The panel gaps are terrible at the moment but once it goes for paint that will be sorted.

Can close the bonnet proply so will take the catch off and just use the pins.

Its getting there.

Looking good Tony

...though with your past track recond of fitting parts - are these going to blow off when you drive the car

...Only kidding matey - coming on real nice this now - was it csae of the missus saying its either the parts or you that must leave the house

They will prob blow off just putting the car away

Donna hates the car she would rather i bin it

Little update.

My disks are off being drilled for 4 stud ready for the skyline calipers to go on the rear so started mounting the hand brake.




And got the lights sorted need bulbs for the sidlights which i'll pick up soon.




Also sorted the driftworks bottom arms out and played about with lenghts and camber settings



Only problem i have is there is a leak from the manifold didnt see any cracks so think its my dodgy spanner work so will sort that out when i next get a day off which is about 12 days Away LOL.

lookin good tony what colour u gonna go fo when its done

Going to keep it the standard grey as i like that.

Will be getting a different front bumper not fussed on the one i have.

Looks great Tone

You're getting there now

looks great mate, very impressed when i came down to see it, its truly going to turn heads

looking good mate

Cheers comming along now.

Got aload of shifts in work so cant do anything for a while GUTTED.






Cheers matey you need to start doing stuff to yours now.





Just looking forward to getting it back on the road.

Just a shot in the dark but looking at competing in BDC http://www.britishdriftchampionship.com/index.asp

Next season anybody fancy helping/sponsoring me and red turbo chris/ chris m3 turbo prob or know of anywere we can get drift rubber as this costs the most???

Would get there name company websute and phone number on the cars and also prob team nation wide plus driftdays and car show and skysports extra and sky 2.

Cheers peps.

Finished work at 6 (working stupid amount of hours at the moment) so had a hours light managed to fit the clear bumper lights and also took the bonnet catch off so the bonnet sits much better need to sort the wings and tighten the bumper up.




PICS CRAP AS I WAS COLD AND WET AND COULDNT STOP SHIVERING LOL




Also started taking the rearsubframe off which is going to a mates to be powder coated green and have the solid driftworks bushes put in.

gettin their tone must get some thing done myself soon before the weather is too awful to be bothered

lookin good :THUMBSUP:

How I don't miss cold, dark and wet nights at the garage lol

Yeah, if you can, enter the BDC. Something ive always wanted to do but never really had the opportunity. Now i might be able to afford it and im hatching a plan and want to build a drift car and if im any good in a while ill start entering competitions.

Have you tried going around tyre shops and asking for old tyres or cheapo tyres in exchange for ad space. If your running 15's or 16's on the rear i dont think the tyres would be a problem to get hold of.

Id love to follow you to an event though. Went to a D1 exhibition about 3 years ago but never been to anything else really.

Manage to get tyres cheapish for now matey.

Nextime i go to a drift day matey come along you can have passenger rides.

Glued the window in tonight and manage to get the subframe ready to drop.

Also picked up my disks



Going to get them on with these calipers.

Managed to get a day off work with no wife in tow so did abit to the car.

Got the subframe off couldnt get the bloody handbrake cables apart like the bad mooded git i am when i work on cars almost cut it instead LOL but my mate Chris got it off cheers fella.

Started to try and take the bushes out see why people say they are a pain in the arse now so the guy who's sandblasting the frame for me is going to do them and chuck the solid bushes in too (lazy i know)











Also started to take the diff oil cooler off ready for the bin.

tried fitting my new disks and brakes for the rear and took the old disk off and the handbrake fell apart fooked if i know how it goes back together but think i need a 300zx rear backplate anyway as i am running different disks now.






Anybody have any or know of any being sold????

been a couple of sets recently for sale on sxoc mate..

I'll have a look if you come across any matey link em to me please.

d'oh! didnt think about that did you tone lol

Happy days. Id be made up to follow along. Id even offer boot space (and theres plenty of it) for spare rubber.

If i just want to run the wond (hydro) instead of the standard handbrake aswell i need the backplates BUT i can run the disks for now as the hydro can be locked on like a standard one just not to be trusted on steep hills

Dave your on matey prob going to be jan/feb though

Happy days. Wheres the next day? Im very tempted to buy myself a little drift toy and i might even have it running by then. Nothing serious but just for fun eh.

Get yourself a E30 325 matey and weld the diff up.#

Next one i'll got to will prob be at the pod.

Ive had a look at insurance recently, and to be honest, id have to go for a Volvo 360 2.0. Insurance would be roughly £400 with the right policy, maybe even less if i shopped around more. Whereas an E30 325 would be in the region of £1200, more then im paying on the RST. Its just not worth it for a second car. Id may aswell buy a cossie then pay for two loads of expensive insurance. With a few choice mods i reckon a 360 is up to the job, especially if i eventually fit a 1.8 16v clio engine.

Plus the car im considering at the moment theyd only want to steal £250 from me

volvo 360 with one of them 1.7 turbo engines out of the ugly FWD cars, forget the name sorry.

The only problem with Cossies is the steering lock - its crap

Not just steering lock that puts people off driftin cossies... they are laggy as hell,unreliable as hell,coilovers are expensive for them,they love petrol pumps, standard diffs are fragile and have crap lock-up, and adjustable suspension is too expensive for them compared to other cars.

try classic insurance for a ovlov or a e30 as they are 0ver 15 years old so are available for classic as long as you are over 21 years old. spinking had a ovlov on classic and was cheap to insure i'm sure he can tell you what the price was

Price was £180 fully comp rac road side assist drive other cars and drive abroad with all mods aswell.

Carol nash

Subframes been sand blasted and painted top job aswell cheers Karl.



Just need to put the solid bushes in and finish cleaning up the diff then i'll get it all back on then sort the elecs out on the frontlights and manifold out and the cars ready to go

Picked the subframe up today fitted the solid bushes had them in the freezer since lastnight went in no problems wasnt looking forward to doing them so thankgod. Bolted it all back toegther its a pain in the arse trying to put it back on the car though also removed the diff cooler and pump looking at it it hasnt worked for a long time and saves some more weight.


before


after


Was going to pant the hubs carriers and drivshafts but couldnt be arsed in the end.

looks fit mate.

Good effort to keep the bushes in the freezer lol

Worked a treat joe lol

Havnt got much to do now

get the subframe sort front light fix wings and bonnet proper and the rear brakes with the wand then its out again YAY

Been awhile so thought i best update.

Managed to get the rearsubframe back on with alittle help of my mate was a pain in the arse to get sitting right but at least its a job i wont need to do again.





Bought the wrong rear disks (read the ebay add wrong) so cant put my rear skyline calipers on and get the hydro hooked up yet.

Mate of mine came down and sorted the elecs out for me to now have all the lights working on the car.



Put 15mm spacers on to see how far out the rear wheels sit for when i get the chargespeed rear fenders just after xmas.

SHOULD JUST ROLL THE ARCHES LOOKS ACE AS IT IS







And fitted the spacer on the tien rods and played with the camber on the front going to need this setting up as the front wheels are all over the place camber looks good though






Hoping to be back down the pod in jan/feb the cars off for paint and a cage prob april/may time.

Been busy again on the car a day off without the wifes ace means i can get stuck into my car without the phone going every two minutes LOL

Put the cups on the rear subframe and the braces that go on the subframe and chassie (no idea what they are for maybe to stop axle tramp) also painted them red byt forgot to take pics.

Got the front camber sitting right and sorted the tracking (only by eye) and also put the other 6mm spacer on the tein rod (better steering lock)


Its the gold ring at the end of the rod blue stuff thread lock.




Also started taking the rest of the carpets and sound deadning out



But found some new holes that are going to need replacing and possible a new sill it is a s13 so shouldnt be shocked really.







Also put my srb stickers on make me go faster i tell you

tony fantastic work so far mate, carnt belive how much its changed sine i saw it in the flesh last time

just one thing tho bud, are your head light brackets bent or somthing?? they just look a bit off??

Looks spot on mate. Cant wait to see this in the flesh. Will be well swish.

Camber for the win!

Not fitted it up right yet as i need to get the car to my house for the grinder (no power at my garage) one of the old nuts snapped when removing the old pop up lights so the ps13 light bracket on that sides not sitting proper the passenger side wings not sitting right cos of the same nut problem.

Anyways fook the light its the bumper thats pissing me off just doesnt want to sit correctly

Lookin great Tony

Coming along nice.




Just don't end up fooking something up and scrapping it lol

No chance of that Joe cars 99% ready for the road its getting taxed in Jan.

Then off for a drift licence day at Oulton park on the 24th of feb HELL YES

Well worked on the car today and found RUST [b] RUST [i]RUST

Looks like i may need about £250 worth of work at least gutted as its a BIG patch aswell.

Will work on the car again Monday hoping to have noting to do to the car by the end of the week and might even see if i can tax it if i get some cash.

Sick of it being in the garage just want it out now so i can go play.

Been looking at getting a spoiler for the car not wanting another BGW so thought about somthing like this in carbon what do you think????




Also got these on the way





Also taxing the car this week been off the road since aug sick of not using it.

Famous last words mate"nothin to do on the car by the end of the week"...its a 200sx so you will always have things to do haha.

Verytrue

I will find loads of faults once its on the road BUT I WILL NOT TAKE IT BACK OFF THE ROAD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'll do it like you said and have it as a rolling project otherwise i will never drive it and dont want it to end up like the red one.

Spent the day trying to line the bodykit up and finish off bits that i have forgot to do like put the split pins in the driftworks bottom arms The fool i am.

Also carried on removing the sound deadning and found yet more rust should expect it as its a s13 but abit gutted as there is plenty of it.





Nevermind it saves weight lol

Just waiting for these to arrive



rear anti roll bar drop links.

My old ones were buggered and i ended up cutting them off.

Aerocatches still havnt arrived (monday my arse) once they arrive i can get the car on the road.

Unfortunatly, this is why my last Nissan and Current Nissan where imported

I the good old british weather

AT LONG LAST THE AREOCATCHES HAVE ARRIVED I'll fit them friday.

Also managed to get myself the bumper i wanted for FREE





There is a catch it needs fixing but as its only frp should be a problem and its better than paying the £300 they cost and smashing it up myself.

I have brakes i press the middle pedal and the car stops YAY

yay so did you get ya brake fluid

Indeed i did matey should of made some watched a program once but fooked if i remember how they made it (think it was topgear in havana)

Just drove the car to my house which was a bit scary to say the least LOL Cars all over the place as the suspensions not setup yet.

It lives it drives all be it abit bad LOL

Done alot today not that the wife was pleased.

Drop links are one




And bodykits on not the best fitting kit but its only going to get smashed while drifting. Will get it painted once i get the wider rear fenders.




Reg plates are on seats bolted back down and most of the sound deadening is out now.

Also sorted the ride height out had to rise it up (gay i know) but it will do untill i go to demon tweeks and have the suspension setup propley. The steering still locked on full lock but thats somthing to do with it going over centre or somthing the tension rods need winding out/in to sort that i am told.

Roll on BDC licencing day on the 24th of jan now

Some better pics of the car.

















Drives horrible at the moment not tightening some bolts on the bottom arms didnt help much will have to sort this out monday when i get a day off work without my wife being around to nag me to go xmas shopping. At least i know what the problem is now just need to get both bottom arms the same lenght so the car can be driven to tweek.

manifold and handbrake to finish then that will do for now.

Just seen it on DW. Looking good.

I so want a skid car now but every time i make plans for one something happens to stop me.

Could do with tightening those drop links up a bit matey - the bush should squeeze out and sit flush with the metal washers at the top and bottom

Yeah got to go over all the uspension on monday find out what i havnt done tight

Also got all the info i need to setup the suspension which should see me till i get to tweeks.

Think i may have my rear driftworks arms and wider fenders on by then too then its saving for a respray.

cant wait till the 24th for the drift day but not to confident about getting it

Well finaly got the car driving ina straight line and the manifolds starts blowing and takes a plug out rrrr.

The manifolds a later xspower one and i am having trouble finding away to tighten one of the bolts anybody dealt with them before on a ca???

Also do they make that big a difference or should i go back to the standard one???

The std manifold on the CA become restrictive at approx 260bhp (though people have run 320+ on a std item before now), and the SR at 300bhp, so if your below 260 the std one should be fine

All manifold bolts should be easy enough to get to mate - done remember any being a problem back in the dark ages when I had a CA

I'll see what happens when i have a go at sorting the one on the car if its crap and fails again i'll chuck the old one back on.
The cars stage 2 with a rebuilt engine so when that goes POP Which it will cos its a ca i'll be upgrading to somtin bigger and better just dont know what any idea maybe 1jz/sr20 or rb25 my budget will be £2500 which will be with fitting.

RB30 for the win

If the CA goes would it be bottom end?

If so you could always ask Norris Designs about something a bit meatier to beef the bottom end up and any work done to your current engine isnt wasted then.

I know loads [censored] the CA off but it cant be that bad can it? Like any engine, im sure its reliable if its built, mapped properly and then looked after.

Norris design are all over my engine matey its only been rebuilt 9k ago with stronger bottom end BUT this year its going to get well used and abused.

You still comming to Oulton park matey????

As for mapping i know people say its not worth me doing it with the turbo i hve (t28) i will have the 444cc injectors fitted to it and Z32 airflow meter fitted and fo get it mapped at Horsesham (Jez) later this year should see around 300bhp anymore and it will need forge internals (320 bhp and above) but to be honets 250bhp with the weight of my car should be enough.

Yeah, ND would be the only place id take a CA.

Yeah im still up for oulton park. Im just sorting myself a new HD camera out aswell. Whereabout do they do the skidding? Can i get a good viewpoint?

250 brake is plenty. I dont know why people chase big numbers so much when the AE86's, Escorts and even Volvo's prove you dont need big power to be able to drift.

just been reading through your topic and must say looks good, are you out and about in this or is more work neaded before it goes on the road etc.

Dave there is loads of places to get good pics from matey.

Johnny alan long time no see matey hows you.

Cars on the road been back on the road for about a week now manifolds playing up at the moment though so need to sort that.

TBH ND are very expensive for the CA, mainly as Simon would rather concerntrate on the Evos at the moment.

If you want someone to build you a CA, go see my mate with the Starion at park garage - he has built a few - all to a very high standard - and the only person round here I would trust to build a forged motor!!

No stu i was saying that ND suplied all the parts the car has on/in it.

I am not fussed on the fmic and chip its got from them though

Cars booked in at tweeks next monday for wheel aligment ready for the 24th

Does tweeks have a rr and do they do diagnostics? Ive found a place in wrexham i was going to go to but if tweeks do it....

Not sure to be honest matey best to give them a call.

I have a mate who works there i'll text and ask him on tuesday if i remember

Well been having a acouple of running problems and with the fact just dont know enough about fixing oily bits on my car its starting to really piss me off.

My car was ment to be going to tweeks Monday so i could have the aligment done ready for the bdc licence day on the 24th but that been shelved as i cant find/fix the problem.

The cars killing plugs and there is alot of oil on them aswell. The cars starting to sound like a scooby with little to now power when trying to drive it.







I have cleaned the plugs up and its just done it stright away also. Will try again monday and change everything over airflow meter coilpacks and i have some denso plugs there only svk20rz8 will these be ok to use on the car its stage 2 ish.

Also took the manifold off again and fitted it better done think its leaking now (could this have fouled the plugs and caused my problem)





Fingers crossed its sorted soon guess its helping me learn abit more pitty i hate working on cars would rather just skid it and have sombody fix it but thats just lazy.

Could this be that your Piston Rings or Cylinder walls are badly worn ??

Or even leaking valve guide seals.

How many miles has the engine done??

8k since the rebuild

Hopefully then, its just the engine still being run in, but at 8k, Id have thought it would have done that already.

I cant help any more sorry, Stuy or someone might be able to. If not, then best get someone in to have a look over

Is the oil coming from inside the cylinder or from the rocker cover? If its leaking from the rocker cover and running down the plug holes - as you losen the plug the oil will run down the thread making it look like the oil has coated the plug from inside the cylinder.

If its coming from the rocker cover and running in to the plug holes it will just be effecting the contact between coilpack and spark plug causing a weak spark / misfire and loss of power.

If its coming from inside the cylinder chamber (shine a torch down the plug hole and see if the top of the piston is wet) it could be piston rings, or valve stem seals - though these normally go gradually and you will have noticed smoke (blue and burning oil) and it would be smoking hugely when running judging by the amount of oil on the plug.

Judging by the oil above the thread on the plug and inside the head bolt (how could it get there if it was leaking from inside the chamber) Id guess its leaking from the rocker cover and spoiling the coilpack / spark plug contact.

I agree with stuy, looking at the ammount of oil on the plug I am suprised their is still any in the engine. Usually any small quantity of oil would just burn of, looking at the wetness of them it would have to be something serious which I dont think as it is running. If I was to put money down I would go with the gasket theory with stuy. Let us know how ya get on

Cheers peps will look into it more tomra

Well after changing the plugs twice two 10 different coil and a coil lead the problem came own to being a bad connection with the plug to injector number 4 big thanks to chris or helping me out with this had us stumped for a while (more me cos i am thick with engines)

Now the car runs great just need to put a new rocker cover gasket on just a pitty it wasnt before today as i missed out on going to demon tweeks.

ah well, tweeks is only a short drive away. hope you have no more small issues$ and that all runs smoothly from now on. You got anything else planned???

Ran out of cash at the moment.

BUT

still need to get 300zx rear disks so i can get the wand hooked up.

then its mot time again the end of march so fook knows what i will be paying for

Just a quick one...whilst demon tweaks can set your car up..theres a better and cheaper place....Buckley Tyres...(dont laugh) have got the fkin dogs danglies when it comes to laser alignment..its called hawkeye..and costs them about 40k....but it can and will sort any alignment issue..i had problems with the audi..esp with camber etc..and they sorted all 4 wheels for 46 quid...audi wanted 200 quid for the same job...
It helps if you know what measurements you want the car to be adjusted to...if they presumeably arent standard....

Cheers matey have the measurements were is it??

I feel the clue is in the name

ok then ADDRESS

Thanks to my mate Chris for doing the tracking for me car steers much better not and dosnt lock when on full lock.

However i know i cant fix cars for shite or for that matter chgeck what i have done to see if its right.

I have had all the suspension off the car as you may well know and the only things i tightened up most of the bolts the coilovers-rear-subframe-all the adjust arms on the rear and on the front the driftworks bottom arms have a inch difference in lenght on them and were loose and the tension rod fell off when Chris jacked up the car no wounder it drove crap Oh and the brake lines are catching on the coilovers and need fixing into place LOL.

So lesson learnt today check double check and triple check my work its funny now but this could of been alot worse.

Glad you got it all sorted matey

Have a look...http://www.buckleytyre.co.uk/align.html

Cheers matey

CARS WORKING AND IS SAFE TO DRIVE YAY (pitty the driver cant drive lol)

Took the car to a sxoc meet in elly port then down the rock and it ran fine no problems even started off the key.

Big thanks to chris for doing the tracking and telling my of my incompetents (spell wrong me thinks) as i prob wouldnt of noticed till it was to late.

Well sorted the last bit today for the drift day hope i havtn forgotten to tighten anything again LOL

Had the joys of working in the great british weather



Handbrakes sorted and locks up (sort of) seats fixed in correctly avcr is in vue only getting 0.66 on both setting though a is 0.80 and b is 1bar but dosnt reach that on any plus the boost comes in at 4k.

You pick your moments matey

Somethings wrong is your boost is behaving like that - sounds like you have the vacume hoses mixed up on the soleniod.

I have never looked at the avcr setup so maybe its all plumbed in wrong i'll get sombody who knows how its ment to go to have a look at it after Oulton park.

Its either a boost leak or turbo gaskets mate.I checked the AVCR set up and its fine...

Well cars fueled up ready for my dori day

random petrol station pics





Got the handbrake alittle tighter tonight and sorted the exhaust as it was hanging down alot topped it up with oil so fingers crossed it wont go blow up but it is a ca after all lol.

Still need the full aligment doing but its as good as its going to get for now.

Whats the bet my cable tied bumpers fall off on the day.

WTF!!! Thats not a Shell station!!!

VPower all the way matey

I am a cheap git lol

lol should of gone high octane! just this one time.

Still got to put more in dont think i have enough juice

Oh and fixed the rear plate looks crap but stops me getting a £30 fine

Black craps not off my car

good job you did the plate judging by the police presence around lately.

Yeah they are about a far bit at the moment right by were i live too

Couple of pics from the drift day at Oulton park were i sucked big time.

These pics make it look like i could drift (i can) just couldnt on the day LOL





















Spent most of the day doing this



The drive home was interesting as the steering went to cock on the day and the tyres screamed all the way home managing to bald them they did have 5mm before the day



Also had a massive boost leak a misfire and snapping the handbrake bracket under the car (were it mounts to the body)



Had a day off work today so started sorting the problems out.

steering looked like this


Wheels pointing away from each other



right wheel



left wheel


everything under the car was tight cant figure out why the steering went to cock. I have taken the driftworks bottom arms off and will have the measured up propley and make sure this time they are done correctly.

so the cars back like this again which i am sick of



The cars off to my mates who should be able to work his magic and sort out my problems wont be able to make the next Licence day but will spend the rest of the year getting seatime and have another crack at getting my Licence when it starts again later on this year.

Car will be caged and up to spec then aswell.

Arty pic of me and Chris who got his bdc Licence on the day welldone matey

I have bought more stuff

...c'mon Tony - we need more than that

zip-ties???

Do tell.

Shame about all the things going wrong, especially after the effort you put in recently. More seat time though eh.

Wheel nuts

And a carbon fibre roof paying it off monthly from srb so wont have it for a while as i need/want a cage for it.

Bought it cos it looks ace (i think)



Car now runs alot better thanks to Chris as he worked his majic and fixed it and has advised me on what to sort next.

Cars off to get sprayed friday aswell

Is that gonna make you drift better....NO...seat time/not carbon bits!!! lol

Paying it off alittle at a time so wont effect money for seatime

And no wont make me drift better but looks ace and gets rid of the rusty leaking sunroof YAY

Better get that cage in quick then matey - I would like to trust the carbon should the car roll, and think how much your chassis strength will be reduced

All in hand chewy fear not

Dropped the car off ready to be sprayed cant wait my other bumper still isnt finished so will have to wait awhile before that goes on.

Carbon roof = swish.

Is it much lighter though? Being caged will more then make up for the loss of stregth though surely?

What colour you painting it? I reckon itd look boss in the grey it used to be.

Yeah staying the same colour matey.

Not buying the roof for weight saving but i am sure it will save some weight.

The cage will add weight but if i want my Licence i need it plus its a good thing to have.

Yay! i was hoping youd stay that colour. Is it a full spray or just the kit?

As im sure you know, any weight saving will be worth it as itll lower the Centre of Gravity.

Yeah, its probably good to have a cage. Im sure its worth gaining weight for stiffness. Are you going for a full on fancy one? Does it need to be weld in for BDC aswell?

Its staying grey for now.

Black once i buy carbon doors but thats along way off i think i will have dinted it before then

Yeah every pound counts as for weight saving

Cage is from fabricage and will be a bdc spec cage 6 pointer

Mine is a Fabricage and they aint that light

Weld in / Bolt in makes no difference, the MSA / FIA / BDC / EDC approvial comes from diameter / shape of the pipes, not how if its bolted / welded in - both the Silvia and Civic have bolt in cages, and both are FIA approved

Fair enough. Cheers for clearing that up. Dont know too much about cages.

well look at it this way.

Our Rally Fiesta uses a bolt in cage from a 3 door 4x4 off road rally car (big V8 thing) that has also been welded in for extra security. To remove, we cut out the feet and reweld...

First car was a 5 door, and to be perfectly honest I wouldnt trus my life with it on say, a manx rally stage?

But now the new car is a 3 door, I feel a lot safer in terms of overall protection. It passed all the checks and everything, been declared safe etc.. I just wish wed have bought a cage specifically for a Fiesta...


They all do the same job end of the day (unless its a showcage hahahahahahahaha) Id rather have a heavy one than none at all

Once i get a cage i'll go get the car weighed again as i am planing on getting it weighed soon as it is now.

Hoping to have the car back by weds all one colour YAY

Saw the car outside SprayForce yesterday mate

I had the 180 weighed with the cage - it made 1200kgs

Hoping mine makes less than that.

What had been removed stu.

I have got and removed

sound deadening
rear seats (god they are heavy )
carpets
rear boot replaced with carbon and lexan window
carbon bonnet
diff cooler and pump
speakers and radio
pop up lights and motors as the ps are alot lighter
front and rear bumper suports
abs removed
air con too
did you removed any of this???

Interior was in, but it had no air con or ABS. It did have the SR which is also a lighter engine.

I guess you could be down to 1100 as the boot especially weighs a ton

Edited the other post.

Yeah Chris said about the sr being alloy and lighter than a steel ca.

Well, Time will tell - Muttley on the SXOC who races one, has his down to 1000 IIRC

Though there is only a seat and cage on the inside of his and its very very lightweight

Yeah read his thread on sxoc i like my dash though

little update on the car


RUST RUST RUST AND RUST RRRRR

I asked the lad who is spraying my car to see how bad the rust is and howmuch it would cost as i know the inner arches and a small hole behind the driver seat turns out its much much more

inner sills both sides the full lenght chassie rails and bits around the floor.

I have done 2245 miles since i bought the car in may and there is now way i bought this car with a legal mot which has pissed me right off.









car will still be sprayed (wings bumper skirts and rear bumper) and i will still do the driftday at stoke on the 5th but the question is do i re-shell as its over £600 worth of welding (i have been quoted cheaper) but will this be the end as its pritty extensive and i havnt taken it for a mot yet so will prob find more.

GUTTED but its a s13 so shouldnt be to suprised.

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.

Not heard that one before matey

Bad news

Tis has pissed me right off

Gutted mate, looks quite bad too.

No wonder stuff was falling apart on the drift day

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

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

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...

Well my bumpers been rebuilt



How long it will last i dont know lol

Will drop it off to get sprayed on friday.

Well got my car back from having the welding done and the wings,skirts and bumpers sprayed.

The paint job cost very little as i am planning on having the car sprayed black nextyear but it looks 100 times better then ot did before.

The origin front bumper still needs work so isnt painted yet

Will get some better pics in the day on weds

Pics of the welding will get the underside weds when its light

must admit there was alot more than i thought there would be but its done now

2 new sills plate in the passenger side footwell rear and more lol

car looks the mutts nuts now mate

Car looks miles better matey - though the bumper is still sagging

Cheers peps.





Its only on till the origin ones finished but it will do as a spare

That is one seriously sexy looking car mate!!

Lookin a lot better mate

Went the docs today so took some pics of the car as its by the docs LOL



















Off to tweeks weds to have the arms setup.

That looks proper mint. Really like that!

Had the car at tweeks today Dale did all the aligment for me and the car feels spot on made up with it even though the wheels rub so did alittle arch work OOOPS

PICS ARE OFF MY PHONE SO NOT VERYGOOD







Some pics of the welding and my subframe painted so when i roll theres somthing to look at LOL





And the arch work stevie wounder would be proud of it (thankgod i am getting overfenders soon) they will do for not though



The side with little rusts good but the side that has started to rust isnt as good (well its crap)

Good to see you got it all sorted Tony

Exactly Stuy

Came out Sweet though

Cheers matey

Had the aligment setup and found the rear wheels were rubbing on the arches so did alittle diy arch rolling passenger side s good but the drivers sides crap as the arche is rusty stevie wounder style arch rolling ftw

Also stuck the avcr to the dash.









Random pics and pics from the few laps i got drifting. the lamba senser had been cross threaded and came out when the car was under heavy load which also managed to melt a wire when it popped out and jammed on the manifold.












Took 8 wheels with me and managed to use 2mm of 2 gutted will be painting these white to look posh LOL



i'll get a after market elbow and source myself a new lamba sensor get the car mot'd (up at the end of the month) and get myself some 300zx disks to hook the wand up.

Had a play with the car sorted some little jobs out that i can do without breaking it more Also gave the car a clean havnt done that since august.





Sorted the kit out so its fits correct as it was hanging off still need to do the wings as there is t big a gap and got the bumper to sit up more still havnt got the origin one back yet. Fixed the bottom of the wings on as i had been lazy and zip tide them on.

Also bought a japspeed CA18DET stainless high flow turbo elbow and some stiffer exhaurst hangers as i lost 2 on the last driftday spinning off onto the grass.




Still got alot of jobs to get done on the car as i am at the point were i HATE it got to the point were i am thinking of selling it as nothings going right the problems are only small but with my crap car fixing skills i make them worse rather than better LOL.

Jobs are

turbo gaskets are blowing
no lamba sensor
boost leak but cant find it
boosting after 4.5k
car wont idle correctly
belts need replacing
avcr boosts to 0.84 on setting A+B even though b is set to 1bar
handbrakes crap
hydro needs hooking up
mot is up on the 26th
over fueling

Right i have decided the cars missing somthing towards the end of the year it will have a carbon roof and wider rear fenders and i think its time i got a BGW

This one

I think the bgw looks better on the sil than your old red 200

Yeah looked shite on the red one plus it wasnt big enough

If you get your BGW, I reckon a set of vinyls would help finish it off..make it look very drifty.

Nothing too Chavvy or F&F styley...like that red one.

Yes/no??

Ants car is sponsors so its ment to look like that

What do you think of this then



Want to change the colour of my wheels so this will be how they will be going

And if i was really stupid/mad paint it like this

love the yellow wheels mate

Nah, I meant get Vinyls like the ones on the Red Car..but if theyre sponsors, then may be bit more tricky.


I reckon you should keep the wheel white..but buy those tyres that produce different coloured smoke

Craig there about £250 a corner

Fallen for the BGW syndrome eh?

I reckon its perfect as it is but a BGW wont do it any harm. Its definately got a good enough kit to take it.

Might be selling though

That is a really nice car Tony. Its got all the right parts on it. Did you ever get it dyno'd?

How come your selling? Fed up or have you got your eyes set on something else? Itd be a shame to get rid now when its pretty much finished but we all have to move on eventually i suppose.

I'd love to see and hear it in the "flesh" so to speak before you do get shut - she's a beaut mate!! Hope to see you at a meet maybe before she goes

drool, thats really nice tupac

How come

Wouldnt be buying anything if it sells for a while

Stu having cash flo peoblems at the mo

Forgot how fooking anoying people can be when it comes to trying to sell cars not only do they turn up late but they insult you with stupid offers 2.5k i know the markets not good at the min but its not that bad yet.

Think what i'll just do is leave the car off the road until i can afford to use it again insurance is due up in acouple of weeks so i'll just sorn it till aug/sept and just carry on with the hours i am putting in at work so i can clear my dept and get the car sorted so when it does come back on the road it will be running alot better.

Being skint and the car always breaking had just made me want to get rid but having a drive in it tonight has changed my mind.

Well the modding started again

I have no cash but have managed to get my hands on this (well whe i go get it)





Next on the list is 300zx rear disks and brake lines for the wand.

Nice mate.

Whats the story with cages and skidding. Is it half cage for Am, full FIA cage for Pro?

yeah halfcage for pro am comes from a car thats just done donny

Some pics of how the cars looking at the min

Sunstrips on and tidy up.

That is looking really smart tony. did you sell the wheels in the end?

Have you got your front bumper yet?

Front bumpers still not back LOL

As for the wheels had offers but all from abroad

Started to fit the rear cage i bought

And got rid of the chave valve and bunged it up hope it stays LOL

Well at least your still making progress and keeping interest eh.

The cage looks nice and i definately prefer the sound of a wastegate to a fart valve, its more subtle when you want to be, and sounds better when your giving it beans.

Yeah will keep it now LOL

Cage is all sorted




Also got a battery as mines been dead for ages and i have just used my booster pack as i am lazy and cheap.

Right things are moving on with the 200


THE ROTA'S ARE GOING

I am going from 4 to 5 stud as i just cant get any wide wheels for it want 11 and 10j wheels but just cant get them.

So i have bought a full 5 stud conversion kit for it and sold most of my drift wheels to local peps and have sombody interested on the rota's

Have lined up some rims for mine already just waiting on the rota's to go and will get the hydro sorted with the change.

Started my 5 stud drift wheel collection






Also got some stickers that suit the car LOL or what i have holding the car together

Haha, you should have no problem getting hold of cheap 5 studs, theyre everywhere.

Loving the sticker.

picked my bits up for the 5 stud conversion and sorted some nice wheelswhich are getting powder coated before i get em

Right i now have a dilemma looks like my rota's will be sold (if he turns up monday) and i have sold all my other rims LOL Going to have to get my hands dirty.

If you need a hand give us a bell. Im pretty useless to be honest but i can always try.

Yeah that helps

Anyhelps good help matey so i'll give you a shout when i start it

i love this car

Cheers matey

I love it when it works

Car is looking great

Cheers guys trying to find some nice wide wheels 10j or wider

really want 17inch rota gtrs white with 9.5j all round and a et12

Hows the 5 stud getting on? Im happy to help if you need it.

Any luck getting wheels?

Funny you should ask Dave as i could poss do with a hand when i start it monday HINT lol

As for wheels

Got 12 of them already

drifty rims

these 15s cant remember what they are off



Picked these up from Manchester lastnight for the best price in the world FREEEEEEEE there standard s14 rims matt blacked mmmm




and until i get somthing different i have bought these split rims 17s 10j rears and 9j fronts

Give us a text then if you need us

Mate, i love those splitties.

YAY got 300zx rear disks at last

pics??

There dirty disk lol

Little update.

Sold the rota's and the cars running on these at the moment which look crap



Got myself a 5 stud conversion as i wanted some nice wide rims but finding them in 4 stud is hard

so got myself some 10j rears and 9j front split rims not sure on the et.









started collecting some skid wheels

and got myself some 300zx rear disks so i can use the hydro at last.

cars as low as i can get it at the moment as one of the coilovers just wont go any lower as the sleaves stuck has been in oil for days been in a vice been hammered and still wont bloody budge

Those pictures dont do the new wheels justice. It looked better in real life. Itll look mint when its done

Finished removing the sound deadening from the rear of the car and gave it a quick paint to try and tidy it up pain in the arse job to do suprised it was heavier than i thought it would be.

I did leave alittle on the front of the inner arch as it was sticky and couldnt be arsed chucking petrol on it to soak off.

Finished removing the last of the sound deadning just need to paint the inside now

how much weight do you think you've taken out by doing that then?

Whats next after that?

Says on sxoc about 29lbs about 13.6 kg's much more than i thought.

My cars light as it is with the amount of stuff i have removed.

This is what i have removed so far

Its taken from a yank site.

headunit, speakers, and rear speaker brackets - 15.4lbs

plastic backseat panels - 5.0lbs

plastic B-pillar panels to back - 3.0lbs

back seats - 20.8lbs

hatch wall carpeting, plastic rear speaker panels, and rear floor mats - 20.6lbs

rear wiper, motor, grommet, and blade - 3.0lbs

jack tools, jack cover cardboard, random gray foam pads - 6.4lbs

rear strut covers, miscellaneous brackets & stuff - 2.8lbs

A/C compressor, condenser, reservoir, & some piping - 29.2lbs

main carpet (from floorboard to rear seats) - 11.8lbs

automatic seatbelts & lapbelt assemblies - 20.0lbs

center console - 3.0lbs

ABS unit mounting bracket - 3.2lbs

ABS unit - 15.8lbs

spare tire & wheel - 28.0lbs

SE exhaust & cat - 41.0lbs

then there is my bonnet boot plastic window oil pump for the diff and god knows what else lol

Well yet again i am at the place were i am unsure what to do with the car.

After sorting out the sound deadening i came across more rust almost asmuch as the last lot i had which cost me £400 and that was discounted.

At the moment i am thinking of breaking it and saving but then i have that problem of me not being able to save so was thinking of selling but i wouldnt get anywere near what i could get breaking it plus its got parts on i want for the next which brings me to the next bit LOL (keep up)

SIL80 i have a mate who could import me a good spec car cheap would be pretty much rust free and have the sr20 motor in it and poss a 2way as these are 2 things i want for this ar but cost good money sr20 and bits 2k 2way diff around £400 second hand.

What to do

Nah, keep an s13 with the right engine in it.

If you can do it id go with this import thing. I know if couldve done that when i bought mine i wouldve. Id try to get hold of something with an RB or something in though are you defo staying s-body?

S-Body all the way matey i love them.

Might have somthing in the pipe-line already i'll know whats what the end of the month.

As for RB powers yeah i can prob buy one but its running and fixing the skyline engine thats the problem as its got "skyline tax on it"

Needs another coat

Got myself another bumper

Would you not be tempted to keep this car and build a mental CA or 2JZ it? just keep it off the road for a year or so and save up for the bits.

Its been off the road to long matey when the ca blows up i'll go sr powers. Mines got a rr report for 285bhp at 1.1 bar so its alright on power at the moment.


Just ordered these rear fenders YEAH 50mm wider so will need spacers but tis what i wanted just waited for srb to start making them as the origin ones are alot of cash

Started the 5 stud conversion managed the fronts fine but snapped a caliper bolt on one side and cant get the bearing out the otherside any idea's how to do it the bolt are all out but still cant move it.

Is the bolt still attatched to the caliper or the bracket?

Are you allowed to heat the area around the bearings? I wouldnt do it though unless someone says its ok, it can severely weaken much important parts.

Are you keeping it now then?

Yeah keeping it now matey

See page 38 as i have bought some stuff lol

And i dont need the bearing thats in so will get some heat on it yeah

Od and not sure were the bolt snapped doing the other side 1st

always the way - you start something, you break it, you give up lol

Must try harder.

If all else fails, Grrr it with a hammer

Wanna lend mine again mate? lol

Havnt given up matey was on it for 3 hours then needed to go home for tea mmm steak n chips ftw

Will be back down on my next day off

5 stud done







I like the wheels to be honest which i thought i wouldnt just need to find some nice wheels for the road as these are my skid rims.

Better pics of what my rear fenders will look like



I think they looks ace really cant wait to have them fitted will get the dw bottom arms aswell this way i'll be able to fill the arches out with the right wheels aswell

lookin good buddy, i miss seeing you down the old lock up :<

I'll be there again sunday matey







Think this has to be my 2nd fav sx mmm

My front wings are the same width as these and the rears are getting made BUT does anybody know what colour it is???

I was thinking of having the car resprayed black nextyear once i have skidded and dinted it alittle but i am thinking of this colour now any ideas what colour it is

Dont know the colour but it looks proper tasty. Thats a fit car that. Im liking the type X style kit more and more everytime i see it.

Tis a verynice kit for the 200 matey get it

If i go bodykit, which i no doubt will one day, i like the wangan style cars, like the 6666 rocket bunny car. Simple subtle low front, smooth skirts and a ducktail spoiler with 50mm rivetted on arches.

Loved ducktails but see no point in getting one with my carbon boot do it though matey wider fenders and ducktail FTW

Id go glassfibre boot and bonnet. Cant afford Carbon. Id get the ducktail proper smoothed into it all aswell. Itd be miiiiint.

My rear overfenders arrive weds and i have been promised my braided hoses by friday test fitted the brakes should go on with no problems (brakes) cant wait

Been too long since Ive seen this boyo...

Have to bring it to next meet or the Rock some point if ya can

My wedding ana is thw 29th of aug so once thats out the way its insuracen tax n test time then the car shall be back on the road

Too long but fair enough

Well have to have a CW convoy for you after your wedding.. follow your car to the after party or whatever

No matey we have been married already tis almost a year

Once the cars back on the road i'll bring it.

Fenders arrived today YAY.

Also the 5 stud conversions finished so started on the rear brakes tis easy swap.


NEW CALIPERS AND DISKS



Old ones (not my car forgot to take a pic LOL)

All 4 hubs have now been finished to 5 stud will be riding about on standard matt black s14 wheels for now



Also painted the carrier as i had some yellow paint about lol



Need to sort the rust out at the front now while the bumpers off ready for my new one



Looking at getting a different fmic if anybody fancys swapping there fmic for the ND one.

Also had alittle look what my new over fenders will look like there the type 2 from srb power 50mm with the little lip on them not as wide as i thought it would be but wide enough i'd say

Standard with stevie wounder arch rolling lol



Liking them though

you must be very tall to take that last shot

Those rear fenders look the business.

Showing my ignorance here.

Do you have to cut the original arch or will you roll the lip ?

??

Guess it didn't make much sense.

What I was getting at, I assumed the wider fenders are to accomodate wider wheels.

Normally on Yank cars you can roll the lip of the arch so it doesn't rub on the tyre, but if its not enough you have to cut away the offending metal..

Hmmm... confusing myself now

LoL i understand what you mean matey

You have to cut the lip and fold it up weld it and your there

Here you go

Thats what I was getting at !

I got what you meant, I just wanted to know how too

STILL BLOODY WAITING ON MY REAR BRAIDED HOSES SO I CAN GET THE HYDRO HOOKED UP.

I am looking at changing the colour of the car all i can think of is black/purple or white which would you lot say would look best??? i'd be leaving the carbon bits as they are

Tons of talented folk here - anyone here good with Photoshop to give the car a virtual respray? I like black/purple maybe with touches of chrome..

Yeah Purple is my fav colour

How bout Pink & Black?

MMMM dunno matey

Pink wheels are made of win though

Just think its a mad ridiculous combo... that amazingly can be pulled off if done well


Dont see many Pink and Black cars around


Purples good though, how bout purple body, with like a black roof and bonnet? Would look sexual with white wheels etc..

Thats what i am thinking matey

I have my carbon boot/bonnet and roof which i get later on in the year would look ace

Would look like a good package...

Then its settled

How about nissan midnight purple off the skylines if you like purple?

Definately purple, that pic sows it up for me anyway

Yeah its going purple have got myself a good price just need to pennys putting away

FINALY my braided lines arrived only 1 week after orfering them.

Paid £38 for them and some how got a invoice for £58 and a bottle of dot 5.1 WIN as i never paid £58 lol

New bumpers on





Needs painting couldnt really do anything else today as its rained almost all of it which is the norm for my one day a week off lol.

Need to make some sort of bracket for the light as the old ones snapped and its still sitting on the piss tried today but just couldnt get it straight.

Get it painted!!!

give me time

oh and money lol

Its getting there mate.

When do you reckon youll be out in it again then?

Looking good.
Any 3/4 shots?

??????? Dunno what you mean lol alittle tired at the mo

Dave its not going back on the road till round oct then it will be staying on the road yeah

Like this..

Yay. I should be all welded up by then, maybe with a cage. And hopefully will have had plenty of seat time.

i get you

Not yet matey will get some when i am at the garage again when its not piddling down like it was tonight when i was finishing the brakes off
