The car: J plated stage 1 s13 trailored from Birmingham no MOT or Tax due to some typical s13 welding(inner and outer chassis rails),replacing rear calipers and a blowy exhaust..
Here is the welding that needed doing
Before
You can see through it
After
After all the welding,rear calipers and exhaust had been done it was ready for the MOT Dal took it 300 yds down the road and the turbo when. A week later the replacement turbo arrived (less said about that the better) Dal fitted this ready for MOT next day but the car sounded very ropey and still very smoking with more investigation found it was the rings so car still didn't have MOT. So this was decision time Spend more money on it or bite the bullet and lay out for the RB conversion but in the long run it would be worth it's a hard choice NOT..
