I've been hee'ing and haw'ing over weather or not to buy a car for awhile, well last week i finally decided to make a move on one.

Its had a shed load of work done to it and its now poking out 341bhp Cool
Christ it doesn't half shift..... i'm used to the power on the bike but its a different sensation being forced back into the seat and the wheels lighting up in 3rd gear Shocked

I'll get some of my own photos and maybe a video at the weekend.

Bear in mind just because you ride a bike it doesn't make you talented in a car. 341bhp is a fair chunk, and with RWD and turbo lag it could very easily have you flying backwards towards a tree. I've also noticed that you have a Racelogic traction control unit on there. I would strongly reccomend leaving it switched on. Put it this way, I've got 220bhp in my Subaru and have span up all four wheels before now...

Not that I want to sound like a kitten obsessed safety facist... but enjoy it! And finally someone who appreciates a car that is driven from the correct end! The main disadvantage is that you'll never be able to drive a front wheel drive shopping cart again! Thumbs Up Smile

I will take it to skidpad in fife later in the year and learn how to control the rear end with an arm full of opposite lock Wink

RPS organic clutch


By the way - the RPS organic clutch, presumably Max Street, shouldn't be at all heavy. If it is, there's something wrong. It's only marginally heavier than standard, and standard is fairly light.

Fair enough Thumbs Up I'd have sold them in a second knowing they were worth that much for some cheaper, better looking ones.

Bloke up the road from me, Dobergoose or Dobbergoose... he is on SXOC (or was) - quite often 4 or 5 SX's sitting outside LOL ..including his old S13 in a permenant state of rebuild after he lost the ar5e end ..

Perfect spec list, i'd leave it exactly as it is, maybe some harnesses but thats it.

I'll give you 3 days before the traction is off and your playing on roundabouts. Wink

I like the colour and the wheels.


These are mysteriously Silvia looking from the front, In fact I though it WAS a Silvia when I first looked at it.

I really do like that car & the colour, although not at first. Can we get some pics of the interior (I love interior for some reason)

So, what's the 0-60 of this beast & what's it like for parking as it looks quite a long car.

I've no idea what the 0-60 time is, i reckon traction will be the main issue.
As for parking its actually not bad, i was expecting it to be a pain to see out the rear window.
