Hello guys. I've lurked on here for a little while, but decided to join up and post on the Nazi bunker thread! Anyway, as I'm a member now I'd thought I'd post a couple pics of my car smile







For those who are in to the Jap scene, I've got hold of some 3 piece Work Meister S1s to put on it, very excited smile

Back on the old wheels:

I followed one of these on the A46 just SE of Coventry a while back, in my old Maserati QP V8 Evoluzione. It looked very much like yours - could it have been?

I only just kept up with it in a straight line, and quickly had to back off as we'd reached an unsafe speed rather quickly!

I think it looks smart though - I like the lack of rear wing too. It's probably just at the right level of modified-ness to avoid the "put everything back to standard apart from brakes and suspension and it will be ok" posts which are often aimed at cars with external mods on this forum smile

Thanks mate, I wasn't sure if people were fond of modified cars on here, but I thought I'd post anyway. I've tried to stay away from the whole Max Power thing (that gives us all such a bad rep), and keep the mods tasteful, and performance orientated (other than the kit obviously).

Umm, I think I did play with a Maserati once; was your one Red? I live in Milton Keynes so I may of been around Coventry smile. Do you have a pic?

I think that looks great. I love my jap cars, and this looks like a real weapon. Whats been changed under the bonnet?

Cheers mate. Under the bonnet I had a FMIC kit made. Custom hardpipes and generic core. 3" downpipe, 3" decat and exhaust. Manual boost controller (that I will be changing for an Electronic one asap). Once we've sorted my turbo gaskets and boost controller hopefully itll be running ~290bhp. We've stripped quite a lot of the weight out of it recently, so it feels really good to drive. Next job is to strip out the air conditioning, as its never been used! smile

Looks good! I personally prefer the S13, but im glad/relieved to see an S14 without a goofy big wing on, they all seem to have them round here!

Haha yea, we call them BGWs on the owners club (big gay wings). I definitely prefer mine without!

I got rid of the Gold ones Francis, the offset on the Works were a bit weak! My new Works are a LOT nicer:



Yup Pulse, same Quail from 2SG. You were on there?

Cheers Neil smile

I can't believe you still have the SX after all this time. Yeah my username was Pulse on there, too. Weird. Do you still use it?

PS New wheels are hot.

Only gets used a few times a month unfortunately frown. Really enjoy it when I do drive it though! Going to start trackdaying it. Need to sort the brakes and cooling first though
