Well lads said id put this up here been fairly depressed since I sold my last silvia http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/249731_208966572475816_100000874258750_568334_5459 583_n.jpg

So I said Id try and get an s15 as Ive never had one so looked at a few spec R's but they were all seriously rough really was amazed at how rough they were! So mechanic buddy suggested a spec s conversion so I got some info off people on here mostly and decided it was my best bet, so I bought one off here

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/s15017.jpg

It was completely standard spec s apart from the 18" rotas which suit the colour quite nicely I reckon. So then the hunt for the conversion bits began and after looking and looking I was lucky enough a local lad who I had contacted about an engine said I could take hes silvia so collected it that night was great piece of mind being able to drive the car home instead of picking an engine off the ground

This had most of the bits I needed including front mount cusco coilovers apex exhaust strut brace wiring loom ecu and all those bits prop shaft etc also had bigger sump the brakes i needed with bigger discs too and manifold

so then the work began

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/2011-12-17172709.jpg

Ive skipped a few steps but thats the sr20det in the 15

cusco coilovers in
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/2011-12-28181208.jpg

sits a bit better now

better stopping from white 14 aswell
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/2011-12-28181216.jpg

Now I started buying bits for it had a standard elbow and downpipe so bought them off japspeed
the downpipe splits into two and back to one to prvent the problem of the big 3inch pipe being too low and hitting everything
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/2011-12-23170723.jpg

Also picked up a vertex kit off Drive n Style cheapest I could find
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/2011-12-21101538.jpg

Got some LED rear lights from Taiwan

Look well on the car
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/2011-12-30183932.jpg

Will get more pics up when i get car back from bodyshop the fibreglass kits arent the best theres a lot of work going into it pity couldnt be a plastic kit like my last car definately worth the extra money

Decided the cusco coilovers were just too hard for the road I went and bought these brand new in the box off a lad on here http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/2012-01-23114529.jpg

Also have a nardi torino and 4 swoosh gauges to mount in the vents and one on pillar pod there defi style look good quality anyway and you can calibrate them Im a calibration tech so will take one in to work when i get a chance see how accurate they are

Got them for 350 in very very good nick but they fly out the door so I would budget 400 and haggle picked up another set for 350 with the coilovers in not as god nick they were gone straight away tho hard to get but there a serious seat comfort wise

can also buy the bolster and bits online if ya can pick up damaged ones

cheers for the comments lads initially was going to spray rotas white but I kinda like the dark coulour in the flesh the car is a fairly bright blue hard to catch on camera the dark wheels and the dark headlights suit it imo.

Finally got recaros in heres a shot of one got a super low bride rail and had to modify the hell out of it to get it to fit!!

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/2012-02-23173010.jpg

Had to get the buddy to make a passenger rail from scratch unbelievable amount of time and effort went into this literally took a few days and the seat in and out of car a zillion times! but finished product looks well

Was lookin for mats one night and came across a picture in nickys car I think of supermade mats so thought they looked well and went hunting didnt find much so I wanted them even more!!! So after seeing the prices of them new I was shocked and decided I'd make my own set ordered mats from uk and went about dying them seriously time consuming but look well funky!! Some runs but I'm happy with the overall result as i saved a fortune!
