A cracking way to start off the SXOC season of 2012 with a 100 strong car stand in the blistering sun @ Japfest’s 10 year anniversary show down at Castle Combe, undoubtedly the largest Jap car event in Europe.
This year we proudly displayed some of the UK’s finest S-bodies both on stand and on all three SXOC dedicated track slots. We even put on free food for all our awesome members 
Our dedicated track time makes this event a must for all the track day fans out there giving you a chance to drive one of the fastest tracks in the UK and really stretching the legs of your Jap wagon 
I am sure this car lives at Combe but when it cruised past the stand I couldn’t resist getting a cheeky shot, caption is so true – Welcome to the dark side! 
A massive thank you needs to go out to Spirit and Bristol Blue for organising the event for us this year and making it run so smoothly, also to TheBigShow for keeping us fed and bringing us the van so we had some tunes and equipment for the day. I must say it was an epic event and really got me buzzing for the rest of the SXOC events this year. Roll on the weekender

Regulars to the site will most likely already be fully aware of Petrol’s brilliant s14a rebuild/restoration project.
This very thread has been an inspiration for numerous people on the SXOC over the years and in no small part helping to keep many an s-body on the road.
Take one much loved and cared for s14a.
Even the best examples have a little hidden rust so it seems 
Mid refurb, Petrol stripped his car right back to ensure it would be returned to better than new condition.
After years of blood sweat and tears here are the results.
Finally here it is as it stands today parked up alongside Pete’s other project
