looking good mate, gonna head along an check out the tramp drift day, if use are heading up from down there should be a good day thought it was only gonna be a few cars messing about, but sounds like its really taken off,

MB.

 

oooh, big new shit style update...


I got paid the other week so finally ordered from DRIFTWORKS....
Tein tie rods, Piro tie rod ends, poly rack bushes, alloy steering bush, front tension rods, steering rack spacers, etc etc etc (etc means I forget :wack.

They arrived quickly, look top quality, and instructions too, which is always handy!









Just got to fit ALL that now, doh...

When I was doing the front hubs I managed to fuck one of the front ARB link thingys, but as luck would have it my mate Paul at Japspeed just had some with poly bushes come in, so I grabbed a set of them, see how theyd fair.

He also sent me some lightweight pullys too that he is convinced dont fit quite right (were an experermental batch) but I said id try fit em and tell him whats up with em.
They look cool at least, lol, and weigh literally nowt.



(Notice the new DW stickers in the above pic, looks the bollocks methinks)

Last sat I decided to get cracking on the rear of the 5stud conversion.
Its a pain in the arse, but got the worst of it done, putting it back together seems pretty easy.



With regard to brakes, ive managed to secure a full front and rear brake setup off an R33 GTST, im presuming its gonna be a straight swap on to the S14 5stud hubs, but im sure it wont be :wack:
Ill pick the brakes up sometime this week.

Also managed to get the hydro handbrake bolted up in the right place, jus need to plumb it in now...

 

Fly off hand break is cool Steve, you'll love it!!


Be interesting to see how well this performs with all this gear on it now!

 

Heres a good one...

People have mentioned the new wheels being wide, and low offset, and will they fit, and all that, well check this out...

STANDARD arches, no wide arch kit or arch extensions, just sitting on the driveway with an arch roller...







ET12 10.5x18 on the front, and 13x18 on the rear, with a MINUS 10 (yes, ET-10) offset
245 fronts, and 285 rears

"Will those wheels fit your car?" Fucking EVERYTHING will fit if you try

 

I wouldnt really like to drift that fucker though. Looks cool. I'd be scared the wheels would snap off.

 

Good job it aint a drift car then eh

 

Just as well!

 

If it was itd not be a problem really tho, seen cars drifted on similar wheels n tyres before, paul whos doing my resprays supra for example.

 

So what dimensions are your new wheels Steve?

 

Honestly, not sure.

Think 9 and 10 by 17.

Or 8.5 and 9.5

No idea what offset, but sits right on the edge of the GTRs arches so must be ET20 or less.

No markings tho, and yet to measure, but i dont care, just flare em till they fit

 

fair do's

 

Woo, just bought some new rims
I now have 14 of them

New ones are about as "JDM Tyte, Yo" as you can get, Kei Office Keiichi Tsuchiya rims, the same ones thats on the S14 used in the famous Drift Bible DVD

Cost me 100quid with tyres The guy obv didnt realise what they were, but I did, and snapped em up

To be honest idve had em regardless of what they were as I needed spares to take drifting with me.

They dont look anything special, just white 16inch 5spokes with a slight dish, but they famous rims, and cheap as fuck, so ideal

ET35 7x16 and ET32 8x16

 

if you now got 14 rims, I think it's bout time u got another car so u can fit most of em

Nice sierra maybe and fit some 200sx hubs or summot

 

Only 8 of them actually will fit tho, need to sell the 4stud ones now ive converted to 5stud

I do want a Saff to actually make one look cool for once, but blatantly cant afford it

 

sell some of the spare rims then

lol

Will ring you tomorrow night about the afm's m8

Turns out the fuel pressure is ok, only .5bar down at idle but hits 4bar when on full boost so seems thats not causing the problem

 

Not got any pics yet, Renton said he'l take some for me 2moro, but ive got Skyline R33GTST brakes front and rear now

Think they 300mm disks and 4pots on the front, and 285s and 2pots on the rear

I bought them before TOTB and before the wheels above, but forgot to mention it

 

LOVE THE COLOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and the car

 

S13 WITH S15 FRONT



keep up the gud work mate one of my fav cars myt be my second car some day

 

Id LOVE an S15 front, but is a lot of work and money, and this is a low budget job.

When I smash it up ill change the front end to a Silvia one tho as that all bolts straight on in 30mins.

Heres the R33 Skyline brakes


And heres random pics of my car in lots of bits.



Oh, and when I was down the workshop Friday with Charlie and Laura they decided to take their clothes off, so who was I to stop them...

 

absolutely mint mate would love if a couple of gorgeous lassies would do that round my motor lol

 

 

 

Awesome, I 'm planning on one of these as my next car, more than likely imported from PV


Cars not bad either

 

nice piccies steve!

 

sweet,

Mb.

 

Update!!!!!

Car runs! Got a tiny battery from some car or other so now i got a FMIC and a front mounted battery.

Car still not ready as its a complete fucker to get the tie rods out! How the fuck you do it?! They look clean as a whistle, but cant get em out!

Finishing the 5stud conversion was a mission too!
Pressing the 5stud bit out the main hub is a pain, but did it on the front easy enough by hammering the bolts, but couldnt do the rear at all.
Seemed no problem, I have a set of 3ton pullers!
But even with them it took a LOT of hammering to get em out even with 3ton of pressure too!

But, as a bonus, Benny Boy Linney, builder of the insane Cossie RX7 on the cover of the current issue of Redline, has sent me a bodykit!

But what is it? I have no fucking idea, lol
I think its URAS skirts at least as they say Monkey on em, but the rest, I dunno.





Should be one cool matt black muthafucker soon!

 

 

cant see the bottom 2 pix???

MB./

 

Please tell me you roasted these 2 birds, I dunno if I could have controlled myself if that was going on in front of me..

 

I've said it time and time again Steve,



Legend!



Email me some of your mojo would ya, I'm running on vapours here!

Cheers

Andy

 

looks well good.....whos was the silver 1 with the massively wide rims

 

nor me.

 

Update...

I decided to fit my comedy sunstrip (on my OWN, anyone whos ever fitted a sunstrip knows how much of a fucking STUPID idea that is :smash: ), try on my new front bumper, and paint my bonnet mounted towing eye a comedy colour too...

Heres the results...





If you dont get the sunstrip, good, your not meant to, lol.

Basically its a pisstake of the D1 sunstrips.
S1 is the pisstake name we call streeto, ie street drifting, as its pretty frowned upon for obvious reasons.

Always wise not to actually have any mention of the word "drift" on your cars, as it kinda ruins your "it was an accident officer" when the police pull you for doing a 3rd gear drift down a sliproad
Then again, i got 2 small driftworks stickers on my front wings, shit

 

i want one

 

then u got the s.e.c lot with massive SEC DRIFT PERFORMANCE on there cars...like waynes white saph

 

Aye, not too subtle, lol

Do they even drift? Ive never seen them do anything barring rounabout billies?

 

yer they actually pretty good not compeition stuff just street....but as u said what happens if the old bill turn up in a car park full of black donut marks ans 3 cars have drift slapped all over them.....

 

that dark haired bird aint from chelt is she?i swear i was chatting/groping her friday night!

 

pmsl you tart! i once fitted a sunstrip, on my own, in the pissing rain!!!

anyhow, the pink tow eye suits you sir!

 

they both are, thats Laura Green
