Awesome! You're not too far away from me and i've never seen it around, let alone on sxoc!
Brilliant mate.
+1 to that, I knew I'd seen it somewhere...
Absolutely awesome.
Just had a read of this, looking good mate! Was considering that apexi induction kit for the 33 myself, was about $150, or I could just buy a HKS style mushroom foam filter from work for $35 so I did that haha.
You gonna look into any sort of boost control?
Looked into Apexi's exhaust systems at all?
One of my mates here has a blue S15 spec S, factory auto + non turbo, but he +t'd the stock engine with a t3/t4 turbo and manual swapped it, so basically a spec R :tongueout: Only been in it once, didn't feel too fast, but I'm sure it was just because he wasn't driving hard :tongueout:
I wish people here had the same taste in modifying as we do back home, some right shitter silvia's and skyline's here it's ridiculous.

Love love love S15s! I've drooled over GTs stock list many times. Almost bought one after the impreza. Very nice and quite rare! Good choice.

Cheers gents! The Torque GT's stock list is ridiculous. Should have seen the cars parked in the massive garage with mine when I went to pick it up.
Midnight Purple R34 GTR behind it with lots of carbon and Works wheels, a mint DC5 teg, R32 GTR with gold Adavns, etc etc. Insane.
Cheers dude! It was between the Apexo and HKS but the Apexi seemed more popular due to tests etc so I just bit the bullet :grinning:
I've looked at Apexi systems, but being honest it's between the Kakimoto Regu 06 & r, Fujitsubo RM-01a or a Blitz Nur Spec RX (the quiet version, hah!)
Not looked too much into proper engine work. Wanting to get the coilovers and that sorted first.
Am an considering getting this off DW though...

Thats not a bad price on that boost controller man! I just paid about £200 for a brand new HKS EVC-S
Ah!
Enjoy it man! I really wanna tour the states aha.

Haha :grinning: they're great! Such head turners too.
Not much to report. Oh wait, I need a clutch really. Feels like the plates fucked as I'm getting horrendous violent juddering when pulling away every so often. Normally when I've been edging along in traffic.
That's all though, it's been superb!

Holla peeps!
So I recieved the HSD coilovers about a week ago, along with adjustable camber and toe arms from Hardrace.
Teaser shot from what happened over the weekend, it is finished and was aligned at Demon Tweeks yesterday.
Chose a daily/street drifter set-up for s-chasis's off Driftworks.
It sits superbly and drives so nice. The back is extremely close (talking a few mm) to the arches thanks to high offset and the wheels being 8.5J. No rubbing though.
Fronts on.
I have only done 150 miles in it, the coilovers seem great though. More than enough for what I need on a day to day basis.
Running it nearly fully soft, just a few clicks off.
Moar/proper pics in the next day or two. Might also get spacers for the front.

A few more from home as I don't have the DSLR until the weekend.
and the rear wheel...
It's actually a lot closer in real life. I'm looking at getting those lips in the arches rolled.
Possibly due to pricing up some Japan Racing 18's at 9.5j
For those interested, these are the alignment specs;
FRONT
camber 2'50"
castor 7'30"
toe 0'00"
REAR
camber 1'10"
toe 0'00"
RESULT:
Positive steering feel
Will not grab or snap
Stable and consistent control

Lol, Tom.
Other than being my daily, it'll be attending Oulton Park drift days and possibly a couple others elsewhere.
Being worried about it hitting hard things though as it's very hard to get hold of replacement body parts. But we'll see what happens.
Most rainy evenings are fun in it too! :wink:
