Coilovers, at last.

I joined in on a Driftworks group buy for HSD coilovers. Saved £200 on the list price, result.

Got them through last friday







Went round to a friends to fit them, who has a load of tools and a flat drive.



This how the car sat after fitting them. The rear was wayy too low for my exhaust and the front too high.



On satruday night, some friends noticed sparks coming from under my car. On monday I set about raising the rear and lowering the front to get a better stance. I found the chassis rails had taken a beating and some clamps had also been cained abit.





I adjusted the height settings and span the clamps round. Also fitted my skid wheels to the rear which my mate sprayed black for me and relocated the numberplate.







My drive points down and is quite a retarded shape, the front splitter is pretty close!!




Theres no way my jack would fit under that obviously, and the diff is too low for it to fit also. So i made some ramps out of wood which work a treat so I can actually get the car in the air again haha.



Amongst all this going on, I got the correct hub through for the Nardi wheel, a used one from Japan! So thats fitted now




Bit of a long winded update but I like to take pics. The car handles amazingly now, the wheel feels great, car feels like its on rails. Love it now.

Local meet.

A group of the locals met up the other night. Pretty good turn out and some really good cars came along.

A guy called Mark who previously owned a pretty lairy s13 has recently got hold of the hardest looking r32 gtst that I have ever seen.

Its a very good spec car, an absolute weapon. Mark took me out in it and its a complete time machine!! Great fun!

My good mate Dave got some stills of the car:













Hope to see this car about alot more now, i'm sure its going get alot of action.

Kind of fited my Nardi wheel...

So I won that Nardi Torino wheel and boss on eBay. £65 delivered which I thought was pretty good considering what i've seen them go for before.

I went to fit it today, but the holes on the Nardi wheel dont line up with the Momo boss already fitted.

So I took the Momo boss off and checked to see if the Nardi one fitted the s13 spline. But as I feared it didnt. Its too sloppy.

So i'm trying to get hold of a Nardi boss in s13 fitment, for the time being im just gonna tighten the nut down on the boss/column Chuck Norris tight until I get the right boss.

Looks sweet either way:





It's so dishy, might take a bit of getting used to. Happy with it anyway!

EH3 at Crail

EH3 films have put together a video of a recent drift day at Crail, Scotland.

Great editing and sound track. In my opinion, the best video that's come out of the UK.

Cant wait to start taking my car and drive at days like this, shame I live on the other end of the country!!!
