    Noobie from Ireland

    Well I'm new on here recently bought myself a 2001 Spec r Silvia as daily driver/Road project!
    Car needs some work and tlc as it had a bad owner but I have already bought lots of Goodies to install and get it nice again
    Mechanically its perfect just the body has faded paint and cracks on fiberglass bumpers
    As i am new to silvias I will prob have lots of questions so thanks in advance for any help!

    Welcome Taz, looking forward to seeing the car. We may even know it!

    As asked above, which part of the country are you in? Keep an eye on the Irish section for upcoming events

    Ah well, there's always next year! There's quite a few Irish owners on here. I've set up an SXOC Ireland Facebook page for updates & notifications of meets/events etc if you'd like to join? Just search for SXOC Ireland on Facebook, and send a request

    I'm in cork myself too. There are a couple of businesses around who know the ins and outs of s-bodies. Cork isn't a bad place to be when you own an s-body Give me a shout if you're having trouble finding parts or people to work on your car.
