Project Stealth Machine a.k.a The Blackbird
Hey so I've had my s14a for a while now & I'm looking forward upgrading &
developing it more & more over time. What I'm aiming to have is a really refined
& composed car for road trips & long motorway journeys as well as having a powerful
car that can handle track work thrown in for good measure. I'm keeping this car
indefinitely so future proofing is going be an element & it's progression is going to
be an ongoing thing so I thought I'd start a thread
When I bought the car it had just over 48,000 miles on the clock & a Nissan service
history for the important service intervals. She was pretty much standard :D,, the only
upgrades were an Apexi air filter :), a bucket style catback exhaust :rolleyes:, & a
leaking wmic :indiff:
