fuel pressure regulator bullshit. Makes you run lean for 3 minutes every time you start the engine warm. get rid of the 2 meters of vac hose and run a single short piece from the FPR to the plenum
better
LOL! i cant stand the guy, he is such a c**k, he can build a apex car that has tomei engine etc in and sequential boxes, then a 14a with a ls1 engine in it, guy is CLEARLY rolling in money from ripping people off lol!!
what an arse! every single "apex" product i bought was s**t lol!
remember being at an old d1 event and they had an apex burgandy s14, i dunno who was driving but it was at silverstone and bren was sat infront of me, first corner at silverstone which is a left hander he understeered and went straight in to the gravel, second attempt he did the same thing, i sat there and slagged him off and apex off soooooo bad lol, bren wouldnt even turn around, ann kept giving us shitty looks but it just made us worse!

Midgers was driving, he'd had 10 minutes with the car before competition, then another 100bhp for the next round with no practice time in it. Bren sacked him off for not winning, the tw*t.
I was about 3 rows back from you with docwra. Bren and I havn't spoken in years LOL

i like the 13's with the 14 front!!! it looks cool! but its not an easy swap! u need to chop and weld the 14 wings in to the 13 wings... its a c**t from all accounts... the rest is pretty easy to do though but u have to chop up ur slam pannel to fit the lights, guy near me started and never finished i dont think... the s15 front looks s**t on them though!
bren is a fat c**t and cant drive for s**t himself lol, i remember seeing vids of him driving the k sport skyline with the great k sport coilovers and watching him bounce all over the track lol!

I'm worried by the finished product tbh. how much work is it for the front? not just a case of swapping the wings/bonnet/headlights/bumper then? How much needs to be welded. cutting the slam panel i expected if im honest. hmmm, maybe just looks for an origin front end then:

I'm with Malice... SILEIGHTY that sh*t!

Nope Not a fan. I've always liked the S13, never a fan of Sileighty and I love S14a front but hate the back. I've got an idea of the look that I want, and also a secondary look i'd be perfectly happy with. Just tryin to price up and see when I can do it. I've given plenty of hints in the last few posts lol. You and Malice are going to hate my new wheels, I personally cant wait!!!

Some(most) of my parts are here now so to crack on, to think these bits along with my exhaust and induction kit should amount to anywhere between 210-230 horsepower depending on how optimistic H-Devs claims are. Turbo tuning is quite rewarding, for all the parts for stage 1 its cost me £450 and I should see a 40-60hp increase
Anywho:
So a huge part of the project so far has been to tidy it up, I'll openly admit its far from good looking but its a lot better than it used to be. The next eyesore on my target list was the front number plate with the horrible black thing behind it holding it on. I had 2 ideas, the 1st was a square number plate offset to the side and the 2nd was a vinyl number plate on the bonnet because the nose looks a lot better without a number plate there...
My decision was to go with the square plate offset. I've put it on the right side of the bumper because the wingmount and the air filter are both on the left side of the car so that side needs the holes in the front bumper as much as possible
So 1st things 1st, get rid of the standard number plate and horrible black surround, et voila:
The holes left there are quite big, as in the black surround was held on by a bolt and washer not 2 tapping screws big:
So those holes needed filling in, the original plan was fibreglass over them however I settled for filler and screws in bolt holes so that if needed it could be returned to standard:
After the filler dried I did a 2nd skim of filler, then sanded it with 800 grit. I went to paint it and found the can was as close to empty as physically possible. I see this as both a bad thing, because you can quite clearly see the filler still and a good thing as well because I can see it still needs more work with the sand paper:
Next up was fixing the number plate on, easy enough. Go with velcro so I can change it if I hate it:
About 5 mins after I had finished the rain came, so I'm off to leeds to get drunk. Bring on the next bit of work.

Vinyl plate would've looked better IMO. Offset plates only work if there's a reason... ie a front-mount.

Huge thanks to Ben at Rare Rims for hanging in there with me and this morning my wheels arrived £750 delivered with a full fitting kit and Ben did me a set of tyres balanced and fitted with some stretch for an extra £160!!! I'm super impressed with Rare Rims and esp with Ben so they get a huge plug
Anyway, the wheels... Rota RB Drift in 17x9.5 ET-19!
All I'm waiting on now is a set of overfenders because as you can see, the wheels are a bit wide for stock arches, then they'll be fitted. I know the arch gap is slightly exaggerated as the car was jacked up but its defo going to need lowering next month if I can to help make these look like they belong there.

i'm with you on not liking the silvia front end. They're gash. Always wanted a onevia myself.
Those wheels are awesome

ahh cool, is it just me that likes the UKDM S13 then haha, also the wheel offset is the later, -19
The wheels not fitted, it was just to see how they'll look on the car. They'll be fitted properly and the right way round when I have the overfenders lol.

Just had a really good insurance quote on a sr20det s13 import.

onevia wasn't exactly a factory thing. Closest to it was the 240sx convertable, which has the silvia back and the popup front. The Sil-eighty was actually brought out as a limited run.

Yeah they will be riveted on arches, kinda like bubble pack arches like you would get on a saxo VTR etc. It should look pretty good I think, atleast until I can afford some proper overfenders...

Amazing choice of wheels, really like it. Not sure if i like front number plate being over there like that. Think a central sticker would be better.
Coming along very nicely though, love the amount of work you're putting into it.
