    Decided it would be a good idea to run a wideband


    and go myself a avcr




    Bought some fans 20£ Nissan primera bargain


    Did a Clean


    Decided the Rs was spending to much time sitting had one last run and it went up for sale


    Did some more lows





    Then it was Christmas

    Mrs got me some driftland track time nd hubs


    got few other bits aswell


    then it turned out I like presents so bought myself some




    then had bit of an issue with hubs needing different washers for bearing





    discovered my arches needed rolling


    Got myself some nismo 555s and hks turbos stage 2a Horsham development chip "not that this pics shows all my hard work"




    Put my wheels on

    Lol yer its not to good at some point someone cut the rust out then filled the holes with massive amounts of body filler It kept absorbing water and leaking for days
    I have welded it up bud ill take some pics just needs some paint now to be fair thought most of it is hidden under the ducktail just wanted to stop the leaking
