    Cool Ashley's Silvia love machine

    YEAH!



    That's how my previous project finished up as many of you know! I enjoyed it but things got sidetracked I moved house and such and lost interest for her as soon as she was sold though I was empty didn't have nothing to replace with. Toying with ideas of RX-7s and JZX100s problem with them is my experience is little and parts I'm sure are expensive and can be rare to get a hold of as I like nice things!

    So this popped up and I got it at the right money so Im back in love much cleaner than my previous one IMO

    Import Silvia with 96km on so roughly 60k miles happy with that!



    Pretty standard to be fair its got

    HSD monotubes
    Apex rear alinment arm kit
    Apex front arms
    Blitz NURspec
    Blitz BOV
    Apexi filter
    Decat
    Elbow and downpipe
    Blitz SBC II boost controller
    Competion 5 puk paddle clutch
    Rota torques 17x9

    and thats it!







    it came with a FOMP wheel and boss so that had to go straight away



    things were good car is really tight and drives spot on pulls hard too considering getting used to the clutch as its not stop start friendly. No knocks bangs or rattles all the electrics work climate, mirrors and the underside is spotless NO RUST AT ALL its had underseal in the past which has done its job so I'm going to give it another coat when I get chance.

    So no time to sit around first thing was to re-track and align it cause it drove pants



    sorted. MUCH better

    next why not see how much power its actually got!? Handy when your best mates dad owns a uber dyno



    made 250bhp and 238 torque! not bad not good but im happy

    Definatly needs a fuel pump as it was running lean when on boost so Walbro is on the way! Dont wanna risk it either for what its worth



    Also got this a spanking new GT2871R .64 yeah



    Im keeping the car on the road just going to accumulate loads of parts and have a week of getting it all together instead of doing bits and bobs each month so I can still enjoy it cause right now I cant stop driving it

    Going for more power this time and making sure Ive got enough time to enjoy it properly

    Yes yes yes Ashley!

    Keep stock arches and some TE's or something, in fact I know where there's some white ones if you want to keep white on white.

    Lovely looking car there mate!

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    It will look boss on the TE37's in White Ash. Source the Kouki Lip through SRB, get some Kouki spats from eBay and that will be a stunning car.

    Got to agree with Ryan. I thought you would have gone a little more aggressive on the fitment front though

    I was going too Mel but Ive done it before plus awesome sizes in TE's are few and far between I'll continue the hunt for a pair of 10.5s though

    So the volks have landed woop love em proper wheels in proper sizes plus there immaculate with no damage just a funny discoloured white which won't e here for long

    Thanks to Japanese performance for them what a great service

    I don't like the white on white though never did but these were a steal so a colour change is minor just not sure on what to have I'm leaning toward a graphite/grey with black decals or I was going to go gloss black wheels but they might be a bit too dark won't see the spokes and such and make them look plain

    So I said I'm dropping them off Monday what does Sxoc think?



    Also does anyone know the colour code for my car I know it's white but its a pearl for sure

    I wouldn't even bother painting them. White on white is good! I'd put the money towards other things, but that's just me!

    such a great start to a project thread. white on white always look good, think they'd look pretty mean in black though.
