Davey's slowly but surely sil-80 thread.

Thought id start a project thread as after xmas i am going to start with the mods, done a few small ones so far.

here's a few pics of the car the day i got it







so first thing i did was to tint out all the orange, already had the tint spray so didnt cost anything







also changed the bulbs on the dials



also fitted a blitz filter but have no pics yet

here's some more pics for the hell of it





lots more to come eventually.

thanks for looking

very nice indeed very clean looks mint in the engine bay

Cheers dude, got lots planned for her, coilovers to get that stance sorted, some nice wheels jdm rear lights, some sort of bodykit for it but nothing too extreme, around stage 2 engine mods and if the engine gives up i think an RB engine from a skyline will be in order.

i wanted to do something different with the alloys, loads of people doing green etc etc so i thought id go with blue, did a search on google and found this



so bugger its already been done, in america though but i am still going to do it.

cant wait to get craking with it.

allways wanted a s13 but decided to go s14a will look mental on them rims

Ok so lets do an update,

Managed to get the car lookin fairly sweet and was really happy with it







The booom had a crash on the motorway, totally that bitches fault but as i went into the back of her i automatically get the blame regardless of the situation (fuking insurance companies) here's a few pics i took.





But within a few days had the car looing like this,





So i could use it again, only damage done was front crash bar and skuttle panel so was just a case of pulling them back out and aligning things up.

Decided to buy another bumper as i wasnt sure if mine was twisted in anyway and couldnt go off the wings or bonnet as they are also damaged, bumper i got was red so as a tempoary thing just sprayed it satin black, during this time i was on the hunt for a bonnet, had loads of offers ranging from £50+ to £5 lol but everyone seemed to be a billion miles away from me and id rather not courier a bonnet as it will end up getting to me in worse condition than my current (sorry to any delivery drivers on here).






Then something came up for sale on sxoc than had me very very tempted.



THIS,

PS13 front end



Bigmiker on sxoc had this up forsale at a very very good price, so much so a good price i could probably sell it for almost twice the price i bought it for.

included the following:

Headlights
bonnet
bumper
skirts
Carbon GTR style grill
headlight brackets
corner indicators

Only thing is he had already sold the wings ages before hand but that wasnt a problem.

Now a 4hr 30min drive in the van to go collect the kit.

But realised when i got back i had forgotton to get the all important headlight brackets and i wanted to get it all fitted soon as poss as i have zero patience.

so what the heck ill have a crack at making my own brackets using shelf uprights and blocks of wood and gotta say it did a solid job till the proper brackets arrived in the post.

Monday soon as i had finished work i cracked on fitting it,





Looking quite rough though but man i had a smile

so following day and a few rattle cans of satin black





Notice the dodgy wing edges due to these not being the correct type.

next came my mot, to pass this i had some welding done on part of the sill and floor pan, fitted poly tension rod bushes and a new lambda sensor.

Also mot man was not happy with the wing edges as they could be abit of a hazard to the public, fair enough, some filler later and i did this,







with this the car erned or rather i erned a mot certificate, good times.

So thats me right up to date

omg that looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooks sick

Cheeeeers,

Next I want some better alloys and a set of coilovers, oh and at the moment ive got the old t25 back on due to the t28's oil seals giving up so i want to get that refurbed and refitted.
