    Larz from Ireland - Black 180sx dedicated drifter (image heavy)

    Intro updated (it used to just contain pics of my drift car)

    I'm LarZ, from the southwest of Ireland. Used to own a DC5 but couldn't justify keeping such a clean road car for the weekends with tax and insurance prices here in Ireland! I sold it and bought myself a 180sx track car... that was 2 years ago. I caught the bug, and now own a ps13 daily driver for the past year and also recently picked up a ps13 drift car shell. I'm collecting oem ps13 parts and have a little bit of an obsession to be honest. Anyways, here are some pics:

    My 180sx track car.





    The drift car is getting a new kit and paint/repairs soon. i may have given it a bit too much abuse at the last few events

    My ps13 road car (daily driver)

    When i got it last year



    How it looks now






    Also picked up a nice ps13 drift car shell. Not going to build it myself so i'm entertaining offers right now (update: NOW SOLD). Here's a pic of the fleet:

    Welcome to the SXOC Larz!

    That's a fantastic looking S13 you've got there, great to see another alive & well on our shores!

    We have a few events coming up over the next few months including some down your neck of the woods.

    First up is THE WEEKENDER in the UK, which promises to be a great weekend, there's a few of us getting the ferry over if you're interested.

    We'll be organising the All-Ireland central SXOC meet after that which is always good with the Car-b-q out in force!

    Then we are looking at organising some driving weekends down round the south of Ireland, possibly with camping too but nothing is finalised on that yet.

    Check out the IRISH EVENTS page for more details.

    Myself, JP, Twincam, T.J. & Colm are your Irish reps if you have any questions or feedback, give one of us a shout

    NICE ONE

    That's one of the best welcomes I've ever gotten on a forum!

    I'll do my best, but as said, this car is dedicated to the track so no tax, insurance or NCT on it at all It'll be a trailered affair, but i'll deffo keep an eye on the events.

    It's doubtful that this thing will ever be road registered here. It's still on jap plates.

    Thanks again Clint!

    You welcome mate!

    T.J, Twincam & Colm attend some of the drift practise days in Tynagh and the like if that would be more your bag?

    Still, no matter what you're driving on the road, come along to a meet & say hi anyway

    Keep and eye on the IRISH section for details.

    Cool, I'm sure the lads will spot your car and be over to pester you with flyers etc! There's a few of our members running cars so be sure to say hi!

    Welcome to the LarZ!

    That is one TIDY-looking drift-car - I don't think I've never seen a drift-only car so well-polished!!

    Hope to catch you at an event sometime!

    I went at the engine bay yesterday... especially the intercooler pipes, they were annoying me!

    To be honest most of the work was already done to it. This is a great track car, serving me very well and has inspired me to get a ps13 as a daily driver

    I've updated my original post because the images were dead and so much has changed since i originally introduced myself. Hoping to be a little more active on here in future.
