My first S13

Cars finally back on the road :D :D :D only problem is I need new tyres already so if anybody has some spare 195/60/15's lying around I'd be happy too take them off yours hands! Time too start saving for some visual mods and coilovers for it :thumbs:

Little cheeky set of donuts too celebrate! :D

So since the last time I was at Crail I managed to f*ck up a few hub studs and the cars back on the road it was about time I sorted them!! Went and bought a couple of hubs with studs and set about changing them about! (For now I only replaced the studs not the hubs because I plan on keeping the hubs for spares :D
But anyway. I had finished sweating my tits off and forgot to take any pictures so just took this because, well, they were annoying :wack: (no I didn't take the hub off to change the studs and yes I know I should have but there was enough of a gap to beat them through one at a time and slide the others in)... For guy to keep his pride; that's my mums hammer :smash:

Got this fitted :D sadly never got a picture of it in. Service is all done, exhaust and manifold has been heat wrapped. Got 4 tyres to destroy just got another 4 to get before Sunday (going up to Crail) as just for the sake of it I bought and fitted a sleepy eye kit :)

If anyone has 15" tyres in the Edinburgh I can take them off your hands tonight or tomorrow :thumbs:

Ok, so was at Crail on Sunday. Personally felt like I had definitely improved. Dpi g much earlier entries and drifted the full '8 oval' without straightening out or spinning. This little guy was gone on the first run :(

There's still plenty of room for improvement which will probably become very clear when I go to driftland!! :smash:
Anyways. I was on my second run and I was snaking up the straight when I went to flick the back end right out. Handbrake up.. The car went straight on and kept going until I hit into the tyres :cry: bent both wings back. Passengers side not too bad. Bent my intercooler pipe and burst the pipe for my washers (nightmare, how am I going to wash my widows!).
But this was nothing one pound spray paint and brute force couldn't fix :wack: also my headlights don't pop up or down unless I open the bonnet and do it manually.

On the way home I ended up getting pulled by the police who wanted to inspect the damage and I got a pretty decent list on a 21 day ticket :cry:


Oh! And also saw a couple guys there in Lexus' (Is200) wearing a :dw: sticker doing pretty well and smoking the place up :smokin:
 
So I've been quiet for a while because my 21 day ticket and prohibition notice for a tyre on chord (accident and stupid I know) turned into a complete nightmare. Car had an MOT and the complete c*nt that sold me the car obviously gave it a dodgey MOT. I got landed with a 3 page MOT failure after only a few months and a price of getting fixed being £1000. Its now got a full years MOT which is a good thing but literally almost anything you could think of failing on it failed on.
The main thing out it all is that even with such a fail it didn't fail at any point on rust :D rust free S13.. Happy days in my eyes :rolleyes:

Anyways the only thing I really have to post picture wise is the wings I got from someone on here (can't remember his name, sorry man) but if it comes to mind I'll post it up cause he was a great seller and really helpful! :dw:

One other thing actually, the guy I bought the S13 from told me it was sanded back to metal and fully resprayed. Granted he said it wasn't the best paint job - hey ho its a drifter - but what he didn't say was by full respray he's obviously meant halfords matt black paint sprayed on with a rattle can because I used that paint and its an exact match for the old paint :)
