Phase One

What's up guys? I'm back on it but unfortunately only a quick update this time round. (A couple of my screenies went missing for some reason, this the only one that survived.)



Ever since the last outing at Kanagawa, it has been pretty much just a restoration of the car bit by bit. The biggest job done to the car was rerouting the whole oil line to an oil catch can and swapped to braided brake lines just to ensure that most of the car still survives after a good thrashing. After that, it was pretty much just a matter of making the car a just little bit more pretty. Bit by bit, I straighten up the panels, aligned the headlights and tucking wiring harnesses behind the dashboard.

Rather annoyingly, both front fenders, rear bumper and exhaust were just gone to shiite. Annoying because I have to spend quite a hefty sum for the front fenders alone as it is a rare pair from an ex Top Secret demo car that found floating on the interwebz and it would be mental of me to not buy them straight away. Feeling a little less lazy, I hopped about several wreckers in search of a rear bumper. I managed to stumble upon a standard rear bumper on top of a set of r05rr rims and I just thought to myself whether I should get the whole lot or just the bumper. Remembering that the car was on loaned SSRs from Go Fazt Garage, getting the rims as well would be a lot more sensible. So brought the whole lot to the office of the wreckers and I was charged at an eye watering amount because qoute "it was from a mint half cut from Japan." As the parts arrived at the shop, it was a pretty swift job swapping the parts off the car. And we come to the exhaust. Not very fond of burning a deeper hole into my pocket, I got a steel rod that was lying at the back of the shop, cut it in half, welded some hangars and onto the exhaust. With all the things done to the car, the S15 now looks at least half decent albeit with mismatch panels. And with the shotgun exhaust, it sealed the title of 'all noise and no go.'

As you know, this is my big All Event Ready Project S15 in which I intend to compete in various forms of motorsports with this one car. Now the first event I aim to tackle is grassroots drifting. That's the obvious choice as it is pretty much open to anyone. I've just submitted an application to the drift competition in Valo but unfortunately, I cannot compete until I find a replacement rear glass as mine are missing. Trouble is, I can't seem to find a decent one anywhere. If anyone has a spare, I'm only able to cut a tight deal as I don't really have much to spend on the S15 until I get some funds through competition.
