So went to the Driftworks extreme entry day in donnington yesterday. Had a awesome day with alot of cool people and some sweet driving.
I was pretty happy with the way I was driving the R32, pulled off quite a few extreme angles and the car gave no trouble so well happy.
Found a few pics from a few different people:

Due to lack of funds the next day out will probably be awesomefest, in the mean time going to try and get as many of the parts I have collected fitted to the car before then!
nice car mate loved it on the rotas!!!
Well very late post Awesomefest update.
Didn't really do much to the car apart from order a passenger side rail from DW and fit my passenger bucket seat.
Had a really good weekend, good fun with friends, got kicked in the head in the big tent, had awesome fun battling with Jason on the Huffy Sliders and found out how much paintballing hurts!
Took the R32 out on track for 2 sessions on Saturday and on Sunday. First time out on Mallory and I loved it what a cool track! I wasn't happy with the way I was driving and didn't get Gerrards right once, on my very last lap I did a big clutch kick entry in 3rd which felt good until I realised I was on the wires of the back tyres and buried it in the gravel:smash:
I deffo need more power in the car as I was struggling with the faster stuff but that should be sorted when I finally fit my HKS turbo. I was pretty happy with the way I was doing the tight chicane at the back of the circuit, I think I was entering pretty early and it felt pretty good.
Here are some pics I found of it taken by random people:

I still have loads of stuff to fit to the car, turbo, alloy flywheel, roll cage, harness etc. but I have just confirmed that I am moving back to Ireland soon where I have a well equipped workshop that will allow me to go a bit more mental on the car, I have plenty of ideas and hopefullt the car should turn into something pretty cool as soon as I can get on it.
Oh ya I have some new wheels coming for it to!:D
Well this morning I went into work and put the car on the lift and fitted my Toda Racing alloy flywheel and Nismo gearbox mount. All went pretty straight forward and the car now revs much nicer and the mount seems to have made the gearchange alot nicer!
As per usual having the car on a lift has added more stuff to the list I want to do to it but that will all be in good time. I did however find that my propshaft centre bearing is completley fubared, so:

Anyone got one? I could do with it ASAP!
Small update, I have got hold of a more or less complete S14 rear subframe. I have wanted to do this for quite a while now. Fancy the extra width and traction they offer. Needed a few bits to do the conversion so ordered alot of them from DW:D
Also bought a pair of front overfenders off Jungle Power. I fancied these as it will give me more room for my new wheels especially for the extra lock I want to get in the future also my wheel fitment has pretty much made shit of my current wings. Will order some rear overfenders soon to complete the package.
Lovely R32 build tread and a story of your troubles. Keep up the great work and keep enjoying the liner.:)
Well the R32 is know rolling back on 18x10 ET15 Grids and I am delighted. Can't wait to get cracking on getting the car sorted. I am moving back to Ireland on Monday and won't have much else to do but work on the R32 so expect to see the updates coming thick and fast!
Looks great , keep the colour as is,looking forward to seeing a detailed log of the s14 rear subframe swap. just done a s13 subframe swap on my own 32. are you selling the old front bumper.
Quick pic before it goes into the workshop for a major overhaul/upgrade!
