Cooler than your girl
Posted by on August 3, 2014
Resident female Corolla driver and recent Silvia convert Lucy Croft showing the boys whats up.
The cars specs are SR20 naturally aspirated , twin 2.5″ exhaust, new HSD coil-overs,
with adjustable castor rods and a r180 2 way
It just proves you don’t need a big dollar turbo build to have fun!
Be sure to give Lucy’s photography page a like as well 😉
Back in the saddle
Posted by on January 28, 2014
After last year’s lack of track time I made a promise to myself to get to more events as a driver.
My venerable Ae86 whilst a cool and capable car is too fragile for these new demands.
Owing largely to the rarity of the parts and uniqueness of the engine conversion.
As detailed in earlier posts I had decided to pick up a 1992 Nissan Silva S13.
As i drive a RPS13 (180sx) daily I am fairly familiar with the chassis, so I decided to take the plunge!
The goals for the build where:
keep it standard as possible, reliable, cheap (lol) have some fun
try and make it look cool!
So this is what I ended up with.
Engine:
Blacktop Non VCT sr20det
stainless manifold, dump pipe with screamer
