So looks like we got ourselves a new ROOKIE here, none other than Ratboy’s Brother Aaron. You may of seen him in some of our videos (mostly working on Ratboy’s Car LoL!)

We went down into the THRASH Port today to see this Bad-Boy a 1985 Nissan S12 with “IRS” turns out it was love at first sight and a large deposit was put down with the car to be picked up the first week of January. Plans are initially to fix up the little bits of rust put in some S13 Front end gear and daily it. intermediate plans are engine swap to a CA18DET and SKIDS!

 

 

Aaron, Daily, S12

Why in the hell ?

Some times when working on a car that your unfamiliar with you notice things that the previous owner (or owners) has changed or modified.
Sometimes you think why in the hell would you do that! With this car there have been a lot of these moments.

To elaborate, half of the heating system removed to “reduce” weight, still left the core in; *whispers* thats the heaviest part. im sure that cutting off the rubber hoses really made a difference to the lap times. Rear seat belts removed, still left all the bolts in there and half the brackets that had been snapped off maybe the previous owner who did it thought the quicker he did these oh so important “mod” the faster it would make the car?

Anyway i really should stop whining because each time i look at the to-do list it is getting shorter and the car does have a lot of nice gear

and the body is in good nick and i got it for such a steal. Things ive done since last time.

Cusco Camber tops
40mm RCA’s
New Tie-Rods

Lock Spacer’s
reffited most of the rear inter, as featured in a previous post.
Re-installed heater tap, controls and most of the hoses.
