Looks good out sliding Conor
If you could you should keep the trial bumper too. You can give the 15 a fresh look every so often with just a couple of bolts

haha cheers dude, were you there yesterday?
I'll keep the bumper alright but I'll have no intention of putting it back on once it's off. It needs to be patched up and painted etc.
Exhibit A
Yea, I was out in the new 13. Was some crack
Ah nice one, it was a savage day alright. Was gonna stick to the grip sessions and go easy, until I accidentally ended up on track in a drift session and just went '**** it'Originally Posted by calicagesracing

Was really getting into it by the end of the day. Need to learn how to use that handbrake though
I saw that alright, they stand out quite a bit with no number plate! The standard ones were pretty timid so anything had to have been an improvementYou can see I attached those 2 horns you gave me, haha. They're way louder than the stock ones
lol, they're fairly standing out there alright. Only took off the plate for the track. Must put it back on actually, could do without being stopped by the 5-0.
Stuck some GoPro clips together
Few pics to keep the thread moving
Welded diff before it went in
Diff going in - left the pro's at it
Queuing up for my first time on track
Won an iPad a few months back. Dead handy for setting up the GoPro and checking the videos out afterwards. Connects over WiFi, lets you frame the shot properly and watch the videos on the fly...
SXOC keyring FTW
Finally
Just so I don't spam your other thread:
Glad to hear it, what did you go for in the end?Thanks Colin! You'll be glad to hear your old car is in the process of getting a new engine
I forgot I had this thread, cheers
It's been in the garage about 3 weeks now so I'm eager to get it back and find out exactly what got done.
It should be an SR with a HKS GT-SS turbo and FMIC. Exedy clutch, same gearbox, walbro pump etc.
Excellent
Haven't logged in here in ages, and I'm bored for lunch at work, so here's an update
Since the last update I finally got the N/A SR swapped out for a DET. It took months to get back from the garage. Mostly because I always make the mistake of telling mechanics to take their time...
Anyways it's been great fun since I swapped it, and we drove across the UK afterwards for the SXOC weekender in Snetterton, which was awesome as always
After that I went and stuck GTR-D's on the front...
For a bit of poke and dish.
Pity about the ride height, but the Driftworks/HSD CS2's are way beyond adjustable anymore
and then it was time to plan some well overdue paint/restoration work...
...very badly needed...
6 years of all year round driving in Ireland is harsh on a car.
Blasty blasty...
Filly filly...
Weldy weldy...
Silly silly...
It had failed the NCT on the sills, so it was time to bite the bullet.
Looking goods!
Do love a 15...
Thanks
It made sense to get the arches flared while everything else was going on...
I'm not a big fan of wide overfenders. Would much prefer to keep the stock 15 lines and modify them slightly to work with a bit of poke.
Nice thick black undersealer should help hold it together for a while
This Snapchat from the guy who did the work was the first time I found out that my rear bumper was actually made of two parts. I had already asked him to paint the underneath of it black. It was convenient that it turned out to be a separate section.
Primer time
It was great getting these snapchats throughout the process
But it was a long process. The car was gone for a couple of months.
But a lot of work went into it, so it was worth it
Awesome man!
Same colour spray?
