Hey all only just noticed we have an Other Projects thread :S n00b

lol anyways heres my new score, got it on sunday for a straight trade for my old u12 bluebird
*insert pic here

lol thats when i bought it, looked a bit different by the end, black steelies etc
crappy ca20 single cam carby,
so yer straight trade for this, understandably it had been thrashed and consequently did a big end bearing after 2 hours of driving (not continuous).

so have spent 1200ish putting in new sr20de out of an s15 with 100xxxks on it so including the 600 i paid for the bluebird, iv spent roughly two grand and now i have this....

Sweet price then man!

Those 14's are the ugly duckling of the modern Silvia's and the only ones whose prices aren't entirely off the damn planet. Sucks. I've wanted a 13 for years.

[QCADTA]

good score. 13's are cheap as chips arent they?

[kyteler]

Depends what kind of chips you buy I guess.

They do pop up occasionally for an OK amount, but not to what I would expect a car of that age to fetch. All part of the drift craze I guess.

[QCADTA]

so true they seem pretty cheap, though $12.5k is gettin up there.

Would you please please please widen the fuck out of those steelies on there.. Would be mean to see d1 stz on widened steelies instead of the usuall type rims.

Also would look good in saturn paint, olive drab or army green would be my pick.

[kyteler]

You can get paints from other planet's now???

Satin?

[Gaz]

Nah boe Saturn. I backspaced that shit and thought for a sec then wrote it again the same way. That word and primmer gets me all the time!

Needs facelift kits

Looks like a mint place to start man, pfls only look good in black. Black and sacked. Got any plans for it?

[RB30VB]

sorted out the little things first...


despoilerage...


drop in same sr20de motor out of an s15 done less than 100xxx, owner was rich asian who was gentle as on it, only took motor out to upgrade to sr20det blacktop


motor is clean as can be with no leaks, splatters or grease marks


overall only cost me 1200 only paid 600 for bluebird, so less than 2grand all up and iv got this tidy beasty

future plans is to lower on springs in mean time, then build up a de+t and get adjusties, do the swap all at once and get it certed.
commodore first tho i thnk...
