Hello! So, a quick intro - I'm Esta (EJ) and I live in Stoke on Trent.
I am now the proud owner of this lovely S15 Spec R Aero! (I've named her Yuki)
Ive always loved 90s Jap cars and a few years ago I purchased a Mitsi FTO GPX for my daily driver. Unfortunately my commute went from 80 to 180 miles a day so my FTO had to go and a sensible diseasal was purchased.
As fab as my daily is, Im not a hatch back girl at all, so I gave my sensible head the middle finger and decided to get a weekend car all for myself
I had 3 cars in mind, R33 GTR V-Spec, Supra RZ and of course the S15. TBH the interiors of the Skyline and the Supra do NOTHING for me, whereas the Silvia ticked every box, I personally think they are beautiful and I love the interiors!
So, thats when I got in touch with Torque GT, and I asked them to find me a suitable specced car in Japan (always wanted to find my own fresh import!) So long as it was a high grade and in red, white or yellow with fairly low miles I would be happy - I missed out initially on a red one, but then I was quickly found a stunning white one, which in all fairness was probably the better thing for me cus 99% of my cars have been red haha!
Anyway here she is as I picked her up finally from Torque GT on 6th Feb! In the 4 months between my order and picking her up I'd managed not to tell any of my friends so it was a "ta-da" photo for Facebook so excuse the silly pose lol!
It was also horrible weather that day, couldn't have picked a worse day, high winds and probably the heaviest rain I've ever driven in, but from the journey back I really am impressed with her, looks and performance, I had never driven an S15 andthe several hundred miles to home I got in her gave me the biggest smile ever
Here's a pic of her visiting my brother in Somerset on the way home from Torque GT, he has the Cappuccino, and the husbands M3 that took me to fetch her. She's parked on the flattest part I could safely leave her haha!
A bit about her:
She was bought with 80K miles on the clock, grade 4B and the following options:
HIDs (factory)
RAYs gramlights 18" alloys
BC coilovers (apparently like new)
1 Recaro seat
Wind deflectors (factory)
Apex Exhaust
Currently I have a list as long as my arm of things I will be doing to this car, I love putting my own mark on my cars; but as a second car, and one I intend to keep till I die, it will all be done over a long period of time - Ill keep this post updated!
Anyway thats a hell of an intro so sorry for the rambling! Hopefully meet some of you at some events or meets in the future! Stoke people be sure to let me know if there is anything local happening
