Lewis's RB25 S14a - The never ending project..
So after selling my adored Toyota Glanza which was running E-Manage blue @ 236bhp.. weighing 800kg.. for a price i think many would find hard to resist. I bought a £100 Ford Fiesta. One owner from new, 93,000miles. Sounds wonderful, but it stank of cat piss and had old 1960's retirment home carpet. (Yes.. it had geniune house carpet cut to fit the original..)
I attended BHP @ Lydden Hill early in 2014 and i had watched a few of the drift sessions. There were a fair few 200's out on track, a S14 and a S14a and a PS13 if i remember. I couldnt help having another look in the pits.
After having a real look into what type of car i wanted i had finally settled on a Nissan 200sx/S14a whatever you want to call it.
So after counting my pennies, doing some (not enough) homework and abusing the Fiesta for a week and deciding im incapable of living without boost. I decided to take the plunge on one local to me knowing it needed some serious TLC to get her back to glory.
Pictures;
..Apparantly the wing was caused by a "ding" in a car park.... Now im not suspicious or nothing.. but even i knew this was a skid ding!
The only pictures i have currently, i'll get some tomorrow once i service it and clean it up as best i can!

This is a major work in progress. So if any of you boys are RWD lovers, your see threw its misery!
I've already got a dumpvalve to fit tonight, and bought a decat, and a downpipe which will arrive Monday!
Modifcations so far;
- Lowered on KYB shocks and eibach springs @ 40mm Do-Luck air filter - Original supplied.
- G-Reddy racing clutch Stage 1
- Mongoose cat back exhaust
- Navan rear spoiler unfitted white
- Urated speakers all round (sorry no silly subwoofer)
- Wolfrace 18in alloys 9.5j rear / 8.5j front 255/45/18 shoes all round no rubbing
So yeah. The Glanza was a little monster, but this is so fresh and new. And it scares the poo out of me!
I do have some bigs plans to get the sills/floor completely cut/removed. But more importantly a full colour change respray and HOPEFULLY. A full RB25DET conversion if i can find the time, money and more money...money...money...will to live... and money.
