STOLEN 99' Spec Almera GTi

Great stuff David, how's the ride? Yeah damn that kerb finding, I find I need to watch it now. Mine's not painted tho so that helps!
 
well sat morning i quickly fitted my rear lowering springs before the rain came down again. then went to my local nationwide autocentre to get my tracking re-done as ive just lowered the suspension.

ive got to say that the car handles and grips even better than before more impressive is prob the direction change now tho.


put the coil spring compressor on just incase

again i hate you lol just kiddin.

i bet you didnt even snap any of the small bolts holding the strengthening plates down did you, not a hint of rust anywhere, make sure it stays that way as a rustless is very rare.

looks stunning mate!!!!!
 
done a few lil bits ready for my RR tune up next month, FSE FPR and sentra AEM rep CAI (to go on)

i brought the fse fpr of mi mate which he had set up on his GTi-R, is bang on 45psi on idle with vacuum pipe off. the only thing is he lent most of my tools and ive now got it running thru my stnd fpr ie using that as my rail adaptor until i can remove it and the fpr correctly.

i did want to get my mid section done but ive had to replace a seized brake caliper,not cheap
thus the car was off the for a short while.


ahh well, some more pics from the weekly wash - guess who tag'd alone? lol

on sat just gone i fitted my new fav mod, ultra rare S15 type s steering wheel. straight swap in every respect, its like taking the old one off and refitting it again. ive never seen one on an almera in the UK before so im hoping its a first yahoo.

it feels so good, really chucky feel to it too (yes im still on about the wheel lads) im a happy boi :)
i love the fact that its very likey that some kiddy in japan was drifting his S15 using this very wheel.
just dont ask how much it cost............ eek

setting the standard son ;)

should handle a lot better. ive read reports from japan that say they tighten up steering feel and they also induce lift-off oversteer allowing easy control of fwd drift....
 
^ tar lads, it is sweet if i do say so myself. im not sure if im selling ths stnd GTi wheel, only because i dont think there worth alot - so i myt aswell keep it. what do they tend to go for???
 
^ yeah it hasn't got a mark on it apart from on the back (about 11 o'clock) where the dislok has nipped it argh. and yes tom is does improve the handling lol

Really just stage 1 bolt on stuff, I think im about done (famous last words) as it’ll never be as
fast as one would like so il concentrate on keeping it looking and sounding nice.
