Had a few pound...

Was up at local Nissan dealers/Part shop as father was getting stuff for the van. So being a S-body lover, it was only natural to divert from my dad and run over to the parts section and annoy the staff...So, its an S13.. but not a UK one, but it has the SR 2.0 ltr engine in it, but its not the same as the UK S14/a 2.0 ltr engine, but its the same body as the UK S13.... Its a 180sx, not a 200sx....

Its the same as the pulsar GTIR! but its in a S13....

Anyways.....This went on for quite a while, so eventually they were keen enough to keep the faith.

I ended up finding out which oil filter I needed, and they were so sound, they even added the chassis/engine code for future reference.

Had a few bob, so picked up this....

Time to get stuck in! (Thanks friends) ^.^

Ok, so after absolutely destroying my driveway (its quite a long one, with room for a transition when changing into second) it was time to get cracking on the car. My aim is to tidy it up and try restore it to a shadow of its former glory before I wreck it on track.

Few things are.. erm.. just not working,.. Right indicator stalk doesnt turn lights on, tacho doesn't function, fronts need spacing as they are rubbing the coilover, needs MOAR low! Oh, and needs new rubber all round,...I don't have to explain.

As I was starting from scratch, I had to purchase all my tools, parts, bits and bobs,... Which after buying the car with my own money at 17, is a tough task.

The fuel light has only been off twice....

First things first!.... exam weather... BOYS! Bita Help! Let's Go!

Strip! Sound deadening out, ta fuck!

Thanks lads, have to get you all out in the Touge Missile!

(Glimpse post) I love touge... So much!

Long time... No see...

Ive been quite busy the past while, over the last few months I have finally purchased my first car! Its not a typical saxo/corsa/civic that almost every boy racer has, but instead, i sacrificed having my own 'road car' to go all out and buy myself my very own 'track/drift car'!

Every penny put towards this I earned myself, and although my family helped me bring the car home, they have no interest in it, and its up to me, and the use of forums such as www.driftireland.com & www.driftworks.com to continue learning new things every day.

So after my many thanks to almost every forum user, let me introduce to you my first car, a 1997 Kouki 180sx....

Cockpit, its all about seat time!

Had to be done.....

LOCK?

Not much else happening...

This is how the car stands at the minute... I have several plans, most importantly, seat time! I am undecided as to whether I should stick a Kouki body kit back on and restore it to its original glory, or stick a uras kit on. Either way, ill have no money for trackdays never mind some 'Proper rims'
