    Wasn't too bad. I still have a blow coming from my manifold to turbo. But, if i get ahold of the horsham developments one im looking at i'll swap the gaskets etc over when that gets changed!


    After endlessly looking for an S14a wing to replace my fubbered one, i failed. So after umming & awrring over what to do. In the end i decided on some vented front wings. I understand they'll need slight prep and modification to fit. But, since the car will be in the bodyshop Monday for the next 2-3 weeks i thought why not... So these have been ordered...

    That's all.. for now...

  2. Appreciate the comments lads. Unfortunately, im more than happy to drive it around as is currently.

    However, the father has given me an ultimatium. The driveway is no longer mine, i have to park it in the next street, and i have 2 months to move out if i dont spray it! - (Personally he loves it and just wants it looking awsome)..

    Had another rain experience last night, and suprisingly it was very very tame, i just was gentle with the thing to be honest.

    It looks like the spray may be delayed anyway as im having issues sourcing a replacment wing! I can find a S14 wing no worries. Finding the S14a wing is nightmare. I may bite the bullet and buy the vented 25mm extended wings them space the wheels to compensate.

    Decisions........

    Last night this happened....

    Ignore the fact its not on right. The 3" downpipe and decat is going on tonight to alloy it to meet with the other 2 exhaust hangers!

    Just looking into manifolds currently :)

  3. i wanna see this fiesta you got for 100 quid

    It's a beast!

    Well a small update.

    I fitted a baileys dump valve yesterday. Well, it destroyed the drive ability. Stalling, bogging, ruff idle, no power! - basically the baileys was knackered. Put the standard recirc valve and hey presto. Perfect running again.

    Had a small spending spree,

    3" Downpipe

    3" Decat

    3" Catback

    Induction kit & adapter plate

    That'll be all on next week/end with abit of luck.

    I also had my first 'raining' experience last night. Casually driving, 3rd gear. Tapped the throttle as I was doing 20mph on a roundabout. Tail went and I completely done a 180!! Turned around and some the same on the next roundabout.

    The thing literally wants me dead! It's horrendously bad on a damp service!

    It's also just been booked in for a full respray in 040 white, 9 days time I'll loose it for 2 weeks or so!

    Big plans!

  4. So after selling my build adored Glanza for a price i think many here would find hard to resist. I bought a £100 Ford Fiesta. One owner from new, 93,000miles. But, it was an absolute DOG.

    I attended BHP @ Lydden Hill and fell for a few 200sx's and i thought. I must get me a S14a as they look so much meaner than an S14.

    So after counting my pennies, doing some homework and abusing the Fiesta for a week, i decided to take the plunge on one local to me. Now they suffer typically on rust being a 20 year old UK car. The engine bay rust points have all been seen to. The sills are the worst, its been undersealed, but i believe it'll need new sills welded in.

    I paid peanuts for it, leaving me with over £2000 to "play" with. So, a full respray is on the cards, new sills and then slamming it on some slutty JDM alloys.

    Pictures, you need to look threw the matt black paint job, as its a completely straight car without a dent or scatch. Its so clean. - Bar the wing when the guy left it in Asda to find someone had reshaped the wing!

    The only pictures i have currently, i'll get some tomorrow once i service it and clean it up as best i can!

    This is a major work in progress. So if any of you boys are RWD lovers, your see threw its misery!

    I've already got a dumpvalve to fit tonight, and bought a decat, and a downpipe which will arrive Monday!
    Modifcations so far;

    • Lowered on KYB shocks and eibach springs @ 40mm Do-Luck air filter - Original supplied.
    • G-Reddy racing clutch Stage 1
    • Mongoose cat back exhaust
    • Navan rear spoiler unfitted white
    • Urated speakers all round (sorry no silly subwoofer)
    • Wolfrace 18in alloys 9.5j rear / 8.5j front 255/45/18 shoes all round no rubbing

    So yeah. The glanza was a monster, but this is so fresh and new. And it scares the poo out of me!

  5. So unfortunately i sold the car.

    A lad local offered me £3800, and with my turbosmart wastegate i can sell on for £200+ the car returned me over £4000 which i cant grumble. I mad a loss of just over £1000 including buying/tuning. I had my fun, but it was time to move on.

    The offer was too good to refuse.

    I love this forum, the members and the invaluable knowledge I've gained.

    I will most certainly return at some point.

    I've moved onto to wanting somthing RWD, and i think a Silvia S14a is the next port of call. I'll most likely make a thread on here!

    Thanks for everything :thumbsup:
