Interesting....

I'm watching a video about Callaway Corvettes and Highway To The Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins comes on............interesting

40 zone motherfuckers



If i felt like driving something that was more likely to kill me rather than get me home in relatively similar shape to how i left.......i would rock one of these monsters.

Theres a reason why theres only one yank crazy enough to drift one of these dudes, here is one other dude who is probably sillier than making a camp fire in a space ship. Will most likely find out in the future this dude is either Ghostrider on a holiday from bikes or the actual real Stig who isn't the dude prancing around in a white jumpsuit.

Investigationing

Hello

Previous fears of mass mutilation with nibblers, grinders and oxys have now been squashed after closer observations concluded i was being a chick and getting worried about stupid little things when it turns out that its only had the arches oxyed........not the whole side of the car gutted like i had first though. These fears were fed because of the mass layering of fibreglass to smooth out the screwed in guards........i'm thinking massively excessive but it does still look pretty mad so who knows.

SOOOOOO the plan is to get this 1J in by the end of this weekend (friday night would be nice though) *Crosses fingers and toes and balls* and then probably track this beasty, give it a couple of flings and hope the 1J doesn't get hot and go pop then we'll pull the rear over fenders off and put some slightly more subtle ones one.

I really dig the rims that are currently on it but in order to keep things all legal down below i may yet have to lose these for the greater good......which really sucks because they look horn and the specs are pretty rad to boot try F - 18X9 -10 and R - 18X10 -10. Yeah i know......like i said pretty knarly for an S13.......anywho i may yet see what i can do to pull tight fitment on these and just run my rundown Buddyclub P1s most of the time...haven't really thought about that stage too much but with 50mm hanging off the bum its far from non-defectable and streetable, thinking 30mm might be the way to go.

Stay tuned kids, the next couple of days are going to get pretty interesting

S14




If shit hits the fan left, right and centre over the latest addition, the dead weight will be striped, a tear will be shed for time and money wasted and an S14a bought and some rad wheels fitted to continue on with the war on boredom

Take 3

Yep this the the newest addition to the family and hopefully the last. It does have a BN kit to match those lovely wide guards but its off because of height issues on the trailer......and also because i'm not a huge fan of BN stuff for S13s, spose its because its been done a gazillion times before.

Only gripe is the exact thing that i love about it.....those rear guards. A few years ago up here in queensland it seemed to be fairly common practice to cut the skin (outside metal) out to accommodate the wider fenders and then screw them in and glass the gap. This practice is not so prevalent now, with 'over fenders' becoming the done deal......though i rarely see kids up here running them for what i can only assume is to dodge defects given that pop rivets and the slapped on panel look can look cool...but more often than not looked tacked together in 2 secs flat. Its because of this reason that i'm not lieing when i say i have concerns......its a fucking rad car but i wonder how long it will stay on the street before the heat come down on it like a tonne of bricks........time will tell i spose......till then i will enjoy driving it as much as i can.

Anywho this sucker will be getting a rub back and put in a little more subtle colour to start with (feeling gunmetal). The drivers side is in much nicer shape than the passenger side as the bottom of one of the fenders has come loose, nothing some screws, fibreglass and a bit of paint won't fix.

Stay tuned.

Mulsanne


The boys still have one of the coolest crews out of the gate i think, and definately one of the best hard driven 13 i've seen

Odyvia

I've obsessed over this car since it first came out, if it and the TRA Kyoto Rocket Bunny 6666 ever rolled into the same servo together it'd be like Vegeta and Majin Buu fighting each other in Dragonball.......one big fuck off explosion from too much radness in one place.

Anywho read the last part.......and remember these words, if my japanese friend ever releases these for the public i will buy this no matter the price, truer words will never be spoken my friends.
