[Grant#1]

about 5ish i think had trouble with the coilovers hiting the wheels so had to get 3m spacers from halfords

we didnt get time to put the chip in but at least i got a drive tho
pablo set some camber for me and set up the little things on the top of the coilover so i had a nice ride home after being bumped every where on the way up thanks pablo :thumbs:

[Pablo13]

No probs matey. You are a lazy git getting you mate to do all the hard work gettin em on :wack: :)

[spezer]

[Grant#1]

Rota Torque Drift

[Grant#1]

well it seems i have been to busy
or is it lazy to up date my thread

here goes ihave striped all 90% of the sound detning (not sure how to spell that)out and sprayed the floor gloss black well the front half so far doing the back half tomorrow hers some pics for YA
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/ditch-drifter/100_0480.jpg
the pic of the front looks shite as i had to drive the car to work today and the floor is dirty so ill put one of the front up at some point

more to come when the sun shines again:thumbs:

[Grant#1]

wow i need to up date this:eek:
update car has many dents lots of new parts and is very abused
full up date comming soon;)

[Grant#1]

I dont have pics of any of the new parts ect i have but ill be pulling the car apart very soon for a rebuild and s15 front end being painted in black and pink so keep a eye out:nod:

Since i last updated the thread i have fitted
full body kit,new exhaust from DB power,replaced the apex roll cage with a fabrcage 6point,plumbed in fire extinguisher,cut off switchs,soiled sub frame bushes from Driftworks,oil psi water & oil temp gauges,Tein rods and ends,and im sure ther is more

With doing this my car was ready for BDC as i gained my semi pro licence
i competed at round 1 and finished 5th place
A week after i took the car to the dyno for a power run and it was running very lean.
I had a chat with a few people and found out about steve from FCTUNNIG. So i booked up straight away steve mapped my car to 301BHP using 444cc injectiors,nistune ECU and all the other stage 2 gear the car was great fun to drive after that but it didnt last too long
I atteneded a practise day at pod and the vacum pipe from the turbo to the boost controller melted causing me to over boost and killing the rings:mad:
But like always things can only get better i put a SR in there
So i finished the rest of BDC finishing 8TH place

I also got aproched by team supperslide asking me to join and did so which also gained me a sponsor from replikit

[MEL]

Congrats on the sponsor :thumbs:

paint job sounds, er.................interesting :wack:

[Grant#1]

Thanks dude

LOL it will be

have you sold the car yet ?

[MEL]

nope :(

But i am in no rush, its off road now.

[MaxX.S13]

Hi, your car is very nice. I have question about these white wheels Rota Torque 4x114,3 17x9 ET30. Have you in your car without beds to wheels. Ultimately in front wheels. Thank you for your answer.

[Grant#1]

new parts a pair of rota rb drifts still waiting for the front wheels to come in white line ARB's, driftworks 4 arm kit,driftworks seat

had a busy day today started striping the inside again to repaint in a funky paint:D
and to get the dash flocked
ben come round and choped out my rear quaters ready for the over fenders he also patched up any holes he found on his way round as well as welding round the brace of the back seat to add more strenth pics to follow

[Pablo13]

Hurry up with the pics already :whip: :D

[Grant#1]

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/ditch-drifter/Photo009.jpg
ben marked up and cut out the rear quater leaving the inner wing

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/ditch-drifter/Photo012.jpg
he removed the shock and put a jack under the lower arm to push the wheel up and used a socket inbetwen the tyre and arch to roll the inner arch to the rear quater triming what ever wasnt needed
then bent the inner arch over the rear quater then a spot of welding
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/ditch-drifter/Photo013.jpg
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj138/ditch-drifter/Photo021.jpg

[veef]

great thread, gunna look so good when done, keeping an eye on this.. have a soft spot for s13.5's :thumbs:

[retardrift]

Love the S15 front on 13's....First time I saw it was the 2007 gumball I think with dan joyce driving it....

Awesome video too....Anyone know the track that comes in around 5 mins???

[M.D.]

those wheels look class on it mate, didnt think an old minilite style wheel would look good on a 13 but with that size and width, and loads of dish they look spot on.

[Grant#1]
