Thats sweet. Well done.
Must be pretty quick.
How did you find Wakefeild Park for drift? The "fish hook" corner would be great fun.


p.s. i didn't realise you could put pics in the signatures.

[Nebuchernezzer]

The fishhook was very hard to judge, i have an alternate entry plan for next time though

[20v86]

thats one pretty hot ride,seen it on thursday night,looks awesome ;D

[FLY13B]

i think we saw u at oran park and on the way home but i wasnt sure! sorry if we didn't say hello at the track.
nice car and nice drifting

[Nebuchernezzer]

Yeah i was at oran, had fun but ran out of tyres (only had 4 i could use since i used a set of front tyres as well )
First time for me on the nats course, it's fast and fun , although you can find yourself in ditches and stuff fast hehe.

[jzx100 trd]

do u know of any places were i can get some cheap coilovers 4 my fc , hopefully in good nick ;D thanks

[Nebuchernezzer]

Car has been off the road for around 4 weeks now as i rebuilt the bottom end of the motor and made new intercooler mounts and piping and a whole stack of other things to.




And a few random photos of engine rebuild including some rather worn big ends hehe.


Some fairly worn mains


A crank that needed some polishing but not to much, still came up within spec and no need for regrind and oversize bearings


And finally some very dead looking flywheel bolts
Not good...


If anyone doubts the ability of a nice full faced organic clutch mine is in top nick after a year and a bit of thrashing , pucks and other such devices totally unessessary

[Evan]

Hot car man.
I want to see you with some sponsorship.

[Nebuchernezzer]

Ah well for that to happen i'll have to spend alot more time practicing and alot less time getting to know the internals of my motor haha.

[evn666]

Seen this a few times, looks good man!

[Nebuchernezzer]

I sold it last october but the new owner lives near Newy so lots of people see it now .

[Nebuchernezzer]

My new car, S13 Silvia.
SR20DET etc etc blah blah blah
Anyways some pics:
Adjustable rear arms and 5 stud and TEIN HR

Stickers so i drift better

Nothing like homemade bodywork , thats as low as the TEIN HRs go though, need new coilovers (hint hint)

[Evan]

Looking good mate.


"Stickers so i drift better"

lol its workz

[fkn16v]

Cheers
