It all started back in 2010, i was 21 daily was a mega gay fiesta, Drifting on grid on the xbox in the evenings and watching those crazy touge videos on from japan on youtube, Had a half decent paying job at the time and with a little help from family this happened...
1999 Nissan S15 Spec R
Spec
Hks coilovers
Hks exhaust
Fmic
Bov
Oil catch tank
Turbo timer
Cusco strut brace
Spitfire ignition coils and the white wheels which i didn't like so i get them to get me stock s15 wheels and i didn't like the side skirts so they went also.
Pics are of the car in japan that i was sent from the importers i used (torque gt in devon) can't rate them enough for the customer service and every thing was made easy with regular updates on the cars location, With the deposit paid then waited a few months for it to come over on the boat, (longest wait of my life) they put it through an mot and next thin you know I'm on my way to devon to pick her up.
On getting there the car was outside looking epic!! smile was around the other side of my head, Took for a test drive and was good until i put my food down and as it started to spool there was a small pop and no boost at all...
So we took the car back to there garage and they took it to have a look what was going on, they where unsure, they swapped the ignition coils with the only one they had (spitfires) and the problem was the same, so after a few hours to no avail i agreed to take the car on a gamble as I'm not a mechanic and had no idea at the time, also they knocked some money off the car.
Made friends with a local guy who also had a sick s15 drift car (Richy200) and he had a look for me, We took it for a spin and soon as it wanted to boost pop and no power was just like driving an n/a, boost pipes where fine and on closer inspection just after the air box there was a rubber ribbed hose that had collapsed!? Bit odd so we pulled out the kink and tested it same pop noise and that hose had collapses again (starving the engine of air) learning this car stuff slowly lol
Ordered a new apex hard pipe and took it for a test drive, It hit boost in first gear and shat myself, most power i had before was a 60 bhp fiesta lol, It was mental and tbh i was scared of it...
So drove it for a few months then booked a drift day in November at santa pod..
More to come soon on my history on the car for anyone thats interested lol also more pics
