Nice little car boss. But what has happened to the S13?

You just can't control yourself Stu

(PIKE) Keep an eye out for a white GTI on the grid next year!!

His shiny race suit will give him away :lol:

S13 is sitting outside the unit. The bodyshell is too rusty to put it on the road and Gary and I are both too busy to spend any time sorting it out. I have had several offers for bits across the various forums but I'm disinclined to break it at the moment.

Mods are nothing major, just a few 'tweaks'

(eBay is my friend)

As for Shiny suits Steve, you're only jealous mate. I still have that pic of you from an old trackday

The mods have started

Needed to move the wheel closer towards me as it was just too low (Almost like Diddy Kong) so I ordered a removable boss and adaptor. Of course this meant that I needed an aftermarket wheel to suit. I like Momos so that's what I bought.

The adaptor means it's easier to stop the car getting nicked too

That is if I can be bothered to remove it!
The headlamps had a dubious looking grill cover/eyebrow thing, so that had to go.

I may well add a Bonrath single grill up front for smoothness

Oh yeah, less lights ,means I'm saving weight too :thumb:

The one rust spot needed to be dealt with. Just remind me why I ever do bodywork? Once again I bought the wrong colour as shown here

I never learn :lol: Also some flakey paint on the other side means that I know have odd coloured squares on either side. Ideal for when I add race numbers

I changed the oil and plugs today and whilst the car was on the ramps I had a look at the exhaust. Fooked!!

Not quite as bad as this one, but holes all over the place.....think of the Spurs defence......there you go

So on top of all of the things I wouldn't change I've ordered a full Ashley competition exhaust too.

I've spent 50% of the purchase price in less than a week, so it's going well so far :lol:

Good stuff, the added bonus of a snap off steering wheel is that it makes life easier getting in and out after the sunday roast :lol:
