View Full Version : Hows things??
Well,
Hows things, I'm on a couple of other sites so recognise some of the user names but for every1 else I'm colin.
I'm driving an S15 (spec S :o ) I have it over a year at this stage but haven't gotten round to doing the conversion yet due to poxy wage reductions :mad: Hopefully when this bloody recession ends I can sort that out :D
I'm not very good at drifting but can manage a 1.11.5 around the national circuit on R888's

So far I've replaced all the suspension bushes with Nismo ones, got a Whiteline rear ARB, front and rear stut braces, front ARB, Driftworks CS2's, and a big brake upgrade (S14a calipers, EBC Ulitmax discs and yellowstuff pads - all front & rear) she already had a full alignment arm kit, Apexi rad & cat back and a Trial kit with Nismo GT4's in bronze. I've got Works CR Kai's for track use too ;)

welcome colm :D:D:D:D ^^^^^^^ no jp lol
Thanks lads
Davie: further away actually :rolleyes: buyin a house later this year but hopefully that'll mean I'll have somewhere to store a cheap doner car when I get it :D
Colm & Razzer maybe next year! I have been given a silly V8 idea that has not been done yet (as far as I know) so money depending I'll get a cheap run around take the 15 off the road & do either regular RB conversion, silly V8 or supercharged VE :D and don't encourage JP, if he had his way my 15 would have a jap V12 running on E85....

Nope, GZ!!! lol, a V12 S15 :eek: that'd be a dream conversion but thats all it is really - a dream!
My realistic option would be the RB25 but I'll have a closer look at the V8 (it's an all aluminium Euro block) and the supercharged VE when I eventually have the money together........
hello buddy:)

hey man nice 15, what is the offset on the wheels was lookin out for a set for my own yoke...
Cool 15, Trial stuff is in a league of it own i think :)
Thanks lads, yeah the Trial kit is pretty nice IMO but it's a bit of a marmite kit!

The bronze Works are 17x9JJ ET17, they really suit it too with the deeper taper on them! the Nismo GT4's are 17x7.5 ET30 on the front and 17x8.5 ET35 I think on the rear...
