Have looked at the hardrace stuff a few times but was never sure what the quality is like. Have you got any of there parts on yours? The lower arms now have superpro bushes in, not sure how far I’ll go in terms of upgrading/ replacing bushes and suspension components as I want to keep it road...
cheers guys! Nearly got it how I want it to look just needs aero skirts. i only fitted the apexi for aesthetics if I’m honest over the blue greddy filter it had previous
Wouldn’t mind the aero front bumper but don’t fancy paying the £1200+ premium they now command! Aero skirts and rear spats...
Cars changed slightly, always wanted a set of genuine te37s and a set came up at a good price so had to snap them up.
also imported from japan a garage defend carbon cooling panel and an apexi induction kit to smarten the engine bay.
Got another visit to slide motorsport for a few bits...
Probably not more expensive now as I’m knocking on 25 but there was around a £300 price difference if I remember when I was originally looking for one. I put that down to age I guess as I was 21 at the time
do miss the 172 though, would love to own it again.
The plan was always to sell it once I received my s15 from japan but kept it in the end as it’s such a great car and became quite attached to it.
The recaros were great for a road car if I’m honest particularly with the lowered frames mine had but it’s getting used more for Trackdays and found...
Cheers! Albi blue is a lovely colour, what’s the colour of yours?
It’s Reminded me I’ve not updated this In a while.still have the megane but No longer has recaros or spacers fitted anymore but otherwise still remains the same.
Might aswell throw in some recent pics from a track day at...
it is indeed! Came on the car from japan, did think about removing it and replacing with another oem handbrake with spring but it might come in handy someday 😂
Not too bad, the shifter wobble took abit of getting used to. I’ve also fitted a nismo Gearbox Mount which did make a massive difference to be fair but will also be getting the nismo engine mounts as It still feels as though it could have less movement. I have accepted it will always have some...
I’m also a fan of the lairy modified examples, (apart from rocket bunny) particularly yashio factory’s and the pink livery but couldn’t do anything that’s not easily reversible to mine as I also see it as abit of an investment.
cheers! that’s as low as it will allow currently as it’s rubbing on the drivers side arch liner where it covers the loom like you say, will be getting it booked in for a proper alignment/geo set up when possible to add a touch more camber to the front in order to lower it.
If not I’ll look at...
thanks! was never really a fan of them in red until I saw that particular one. Looked immaculate and tastefully modified unlike most
do like the aero bumper but could never pay the prices they command now, I will be looking for aero skirts at some point though.
The other half got me a private reg for Christmas which I’d been wanting.
I’d been looking for some different wheels over Christmas to replace the oem ones and found someone local selling some Advan rg2s Cheap so snapped them up. Always wanted either these, volk te37s or 57dr.
decided the...
The s15 was parked up in storage over winter so did abit of servicing amongst spending more than anticipated on mods.
just before taking it off the road I sold the bbs as they wasn’t really to my taste and bought some oem wheels until I settled on something else.
couple of pictures on the oem...
Just to clarify I know neither parties just seeing it from an outsider looking in and nothing to do with the mob following.
maybe mental health could play a part in this but then if that’s the reason for ignoring messages and calls then bloke wouldn’t be posting numerous times a day on this...
Don’t understand why everyone’s still fighting blokes corner or saying there’s more to the story.
If there’s more to it then why’s he not defending himself across any social platform including CS.net?
If It was my business that was getting shot down in flames on the internet over false...
They are cast iron, I have actually considered the z32 Calipers or even the 350z Brembos and r33 rear brake setup but it comes down to budget, z32 callipers would probably be the favourite.
you seem to know quite abit about s15s, did you used to own one or work on them? Would like to find a...
Looks ok in the pictures but in person it’s f****d. Covered in scratches, and is cracked near gear stick surround, screwdriver marks from being prized off etc!
It’s currently being made to order by Nissan so should have it soon, engine mods will come in due course but will be giving the brakes...
Thanks! It was listed as a grade r due to the front wings being replaced. otherwise the exterior is immaculate with just a mark on the roof.
Interior was graded a c Due to plastics being scuffed but I’m replacing all the scratched items with brand new ones from Nissan so a lot of the interior...
Not too fussed about splitters if I’m honest although that could be the fact that they’re a not many good ones.
When a set become available I will be fitting some factory option aero side skirts same as the ones below which should finish the bodywork off nicely
Went out at the weekend with a mate and took a few shots of the cars.
Lowered it another 15mm to reduce the gap between the arches and the 18s, sits much better now.
Done a few minor touches to the exterior,
-refitted the rear badges and in the correct locations
-replaced the pink wheel nuts...
Cheers for the info mate, obviously didn’t read what I’d put as I know injectors shouldnt be fitted before a map due to it altering the afr.
You’ve given me more info than what I’ve found on the Facebook page Upto now! It’s a long way off before hunting for power as I want to get it pristine...
Nope still got it haha! I don’t want to sell it if I’m honest, it’s a great car and I’ve grown quite fond of it. Looks great on track too ?
I’ll probably do a few more track days in it then sell late summer I think!
Sounds good to me or another karting meet. Has Renaultvirgin stepped down...
White was a must for me! It depends on the area I think as I’ve only ever seen one on the road near me but I believe there’s a few floating around essex.
Cheers Paul! Completely different if I’m honest, the megane is a lot more refined (believe it or not!) where as the s15 is more raw and...
Cheers mate! I wasn’t a fan of the wheels in photos to be fair but they look alright in person, will eventually be swapping to either oz rpf1’s or volks te37
Thanks! Partly why I went for an s15 to be fair. Was looking at Imprezas and evos but wanted something you don’t see every day
Cheers mate, i got it through bhp imports, torque gt was too far for me to consider.
It’s probably slightly more expensive having one imported as opposed to buying one over here.
The trouble with s15s In the uk is they don’t come up for sale too often and when they do they are all abused...
Finally got the s15 after months of patiently waiting (5 months to be precise from purchasing on Japanese auctions)
Picked the car up last Saturday, gave it a clean went for some photos with a mate and his dc5
