My first S13

Crail went really well! Couldn't have asked for a better day. Drift track was quiet but the rest ha easily 300-400 cars over at the 'show n shine' and drag strip. Went through with a couple mates and got this picture taken by one of them

For my first track day in the S13 I'd say it went really well! Only spun about 3 times which was definitely down to the suspension. I'm really needing coilovers. Changing direction the car really swayed alot at speed :( also the handbrake isnt 100% reliable at the moment :( it catches and locks when pulling up sometimes so obviously i end up looking like a twat haha :wack: but! Managed to get a couple good videos but never managed to upload the video properly so here's a quick clip filmed off of the camera :thumbs: (handbrake fail at 1.14 and 2.04)


 
I honestly cannot remember, but its so simple and it can suited around you... Its real easy, just a simple slider which calculates how much you pay back over a period of time... which can also be changed. Go check it out in the DW shop.

Loved the description of it! Haha you must be a salesman for :dw: :thumbs:
 
it was all going so well on that video until the last bit, having said that, if you had more lock (quite a bit more) and possibly a bit more power you'd have achieved a fucking awesome entry :D

Thanks alot man! Was so happy with myself until the tyre got closer and closer and I was just sitting going "fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck". What's the old sayin? Power makes perfect? :wack: :thumbs:
 
Ok so latest thing is I sold my Mx5 which included a bunch of S13 parts the guy, Murray, had.
Looked through all the parts. I'll just do It in a list. Front bumper, 2x 17" wheels with tyres,starter motor, alternator, oil cooler radiator, suspension arms for the front, radio, oil temp and pressure gauges then discovered 3 mass air flow sensors a full coil pack for the plugs, and an oil/water pump attachment with electrical sensor (could be wrong just guessing :wack: )
But anyway if anybody wants the pre facelift front bumper feel free to get in touch and come collect it in return for a kebab or another S13 part :thumbs: :wack: (joking about the kebab!) got a little damage but nothing bad just a little crack and very slight paint flake.

Been veryyyy sh*t lately cars been off the road for about 6 weeks now (refuse to pay insurance monthly so saving for the years) and I've been relying on mates driving me places :( anyway nothing much has been done to the car other than just spraying random parts with £1 home bargains spray paint (not bad for the price) just to keep it tidy...ish. Once the cars got insurance I really need my tracking and front camber sorted from that little ding at Crail. Gonna do the rocker cover gasket cause its been leaking a little over time plus its cheap :thumbs:
While the car is off the road (will be for another 3-4weeks) has anybody got any ideas on what I could do to the car for little money wether its to touch it up and look better or a ghetto mod? Just getting bored now so any ideas are welcome :wack:
 
Oh! Another thing. Started looking at winter cars cause I don't fancy smashing this up. I'm looking for a Subaru Justy so if anybody has one and looking to sell it in the next few months let me know :thumbs:
