6 years with an S15...

After Japan I ended up working in Liberty Insurance for a year building their website. That paid for the turbo conversion in the 15, ironically enough.

I handed the car over to Marini Motorsport and got it back a couple of months later with an SR20DET, with a HKS GT-SS turbo and a fresh Exedy clutch. The difference was unreal. So much more fun to drive.



Brought it over to Snetterton with a few of the guys from SXOC, for the SXOC weekender. Convoyed across the UK with them and Stiv brought walkie talkies, so it was a right laugh.

Just remembered there's a video from that too:

There was separate tracks for grip and drift, but had to take it fairly handy because we needed to drive across the UK again after the weekend, and my new engine had also decided it wanted to leak a bit of oil. At the time we were sure it was coming from the turbo, but after we were back in Ireland I had dropped the car down to DI Motorsport for a bit of work and Bob Stevens found it was coming from a cracked corner on the rocker cover. He fixed my wipers too, and a bunch of other stuff. That man is a legend
