View Full Version : Sil80 road car revival
So last year I picked up a m3 touring drift car . Really wanted to give drifting a serious go and do as many practice days I possibly could . Still in college and starting my own business shat all over that idea. Sooo I sold the drift car ( which I regret all ready ) .
The drift car

I ended up getting a swap for this sil80. Which had done 2 drift days but wasn't a totally lost too the drift world .

Those are just pics I had on my phone .
I dropped the car over to paint the bumper and boot lid and somehow ended up painting the whole car same colour .
Plans are slam it on wide 15,s add a lip and some chunki side skirts . Shotgun pipes nct the car and enjoy it . Old 90,s style is what I'm going for

Trying to decided on a centr colour for the rims , I'm thinks white or falken green but the green might be tacky .

Paint them green and il slap you :mad: silver black or gunmetal only anything else will just look tacky imo coming along nicely otherwise dude
Ye the green is out of my head already . Not going black 100% . Gunmetal maybe .

I'd say the black will look sweet wit the colour of the car the way it is pal
Try and polish the centers or just a nice simple silver, this could be very very good.
they will look really good but you wont know whats the fitment like until you fit them but if all comes to all i have 50mm spacers hear for you :)
Black or antricide would look really smart!
That fitment should line up just on arch.
my viennas are 17x9.5 +2 and there just outside the arch on the front
so your fitment should be perfect.
Polishing meshs be next to impossible. Thanks for the kind words . I can't wait to fit them on and see what it'll be like . Nct Friday now so fingers crossed it passes and I get a good start on it
Will look mint on the meshs lad, lookin forward to pics
Tyres the meshs on well happy with the former once its lowered n rolled it'll be almost perfect . http://i952.photobucket.com/albums/ae6/haydngrace/image_zpsea60d3ef.jpg (http://s952.photobucket.com/user/haydngrace/media/image_zpsea60d3ef.jpg.html)

Are you selling the advans?

fitted the wheels and lowered it, i need to roll the back arches as i might go another little bit lower at the back. needs some chuki skirts and a lip , the wheels in black have really grown on me so i think ill just refurb them black.
i was thinkn of doing the rear quarter windows in 90s jap stickers to finish the look off but could it make it look messy?
also be toying with the idea of a spoiler any suggestions
bad pic but i fitted the bride too http://i952.photobucket.com/albums/ae6/haydngrace/image_zpsb2cae1f9.jpg (http://s952.photobucket.com/user/haydngrace/media/image_zpsb2cae1f9.jpg.html)

Must catch up with you Leigh and the gang when I'm back. Dying to see this car in person, looks a real beauty., @johnmaloney88 there's a fella in cork that makes shotgun pipes for cheap, and good quality.. He's on here, names Liam Crowley.
nice to see a sil80 being added to the irish roads
few pics some mates took over the last week :)

im getting ideas that i want to put a spoiler on it , but i dono would it ruin it , wangan or something
hmmm, not too sure what a wangan would look like. looks so so good though, would go a touch lower at the back but thats just me !
im getn some chuki skirts soon i tryed some on the other night and they really look good, a touch lower all round be sweet but with these 15,s its actually hits EVERYWHERE. im waiting for some money to re route the exhaust so more lows then :cool:
Looks savage dude fair play...wat size wheels u have on it now.
Damm u I want this looks so okdskool don't change it
That was a nice swop looks like a clean 80
This pic just came up on facebook , it really has that 90,s jdm vibe about it . exactly what i was trying to potray :)
