that... my friend... is a joburg car!!!

a buddy of mine wayne built it over the last few years, and that night was his first outing at webank to drift. in the background of the pic you can see florin's skyline, steven's e30 (if i'm not mistaken), a red s13 (not sure who) and bruno's white s13!

it still has the CA, but with a t3/t4, so its quite powerful but high up in the rev range.

he's almost sold the car on numerous occasions too because the engine keeps behaving erratically though, but it goes quite quickly.

the only car i've seen smoke the entire hairpin with the rears. the other guys do give off a little smoke, but not like this CA s13!!! maybe because he was drifting on brand new fancy tires???

hehehe

he also had the bonnet modded locally.

The Burgundy (Red) SX is Phinx's, he's the one looking like a stunned rabbit in the photo in the background.

Hey Vlade! Any Idea how far the Z32 calipers stick out more than the stock ones??
If you could get me a measurement I would appreciate it!

Would like to measure and see if I could do this with my current Magz

Thanks

You can bargain on a 1" to a 1.5" so in cm thats about 2.45 to 3.6cm... I'm not exactly sure, but it was in that region.

It on the cards for the future but not now... If I roll the arches I will need a respray :wink:

When the car is running I'll go to a MAG place and try some spacers and see how they look, might not look too bad...
If you have access to a working heat gun you won't need to respray your car if you roll your arches. Using a heat gun keeps the paint from chipping.

last i heard it was for sale for just over 100k.

but its an awesome track machine with plenty of power from that ca18det. they initially had problems with it, but its all sorted now.

probably one of the most highly modded sx's in SA, drift suspension wise!
