    Welllllllllll... Me again... with another black car...

    I knew this car from a while back when Dave had it, and always thought there was something cool about it. I was shocked when i found out the one that i saw advertised on facebook was the same car Man it looks so sorry for itself. After a bit of to and fro on the price, I set up a viewing but wasn't going to go it alone and decided to bring someone who knows exactly what they're looking at.

    Long story short, having done only 4,000km since the last NCT albeit they were very harsh miles from what i hear. This thing was used and abused. Exhaust is hanging off, scratches everywhere, tigerseal on the boot, stop sign shaped dent in the passo door, bent tie rod, bushings hanging out of it. Such a shame.

    Much to my surprise compression tests came in at 150 across the board (one cylinder slightly lower) and no knocks or rattles. Even though this car was already a street scraper when Daly had it, it's rust free and in tidy enough condition underneath.

    SPEC is nothing major (WHEN I GOT IT):

    SR20DET
    Coilovers
    Some aftermarket arms
    Cusco 3:9 two way
    Standard interior
    Air filter and exhaust
    Walbro Fuel Pump


    Now i did warn you guys.. Look away if you're squeamish.. Here are some pics:

    In some cases, never start a job... check out that paint:


    Exhaust game is strong:


    Lamppost shaped tattoo



    The plan with this is pretty clear for me. Chuki kit, nice and original. Quick blast of paint. A winter slider that i can take to practice days and not be too particular about (famous last words). It may involve a tow hitch and trailer... that's all i'm saying for now.

    Omg! What a state the last owner made of it! I wanted that car so bad when Daly owned it. Was tempted to try and see if he would swap for my R32 but it sold before I got the chance to put it past him.

    Don't mess it up too bad Larz

    Glad to hear. The meshes did look well, But I think since they've be done before on this car, you should add your own style. With 4 stud you do have a lot of options in the way of cool 15 and 16 inch wheels. Break out an SSR catalogue haha

    Wheels aren't my top priority right now. I need to figure out which bushings i need to replace too. And i need to get the body tidied up for paint. I tracked down the original bumpers for this car so i'm going picking those up tonight. Front bumper was prepped for paint but I'll be giving this a coating anyways i would think.

    Picked up a japspeed turbo elbow last night as there's a crack in the oem one. I may also have bought a PowerFC...
