Howzit guys, im saying sorry now becuse this is a bit of a long story.. sorry..
ok ive met a couple of you already ( Durban members - namely RBSX and GARY57 ) but today my SX arrived, so i feel the need to introduce myself properly. Basically ive been into cars for about 10 years, but ive been really interested in drifting for the last 4 years or so. Ive never quite had the right car for it, i feel confident in the reasearch ive done and friends ive spoken to, that the S13 SX is the right tool for the job:)
Although having said that.. my SX arrived today and its a sorry looking car if ever i saw one. for one i'll openly admit its my fault for buying a car without even seeing it in person. but then i thought i'd take a chance because the guy i was dealing with sounded honest enough - FAIL!
Basically the car is straight. but its got a fair amount of small deep dings. loose bumpers, interior is loose too, and it smells like a hobo has been living in it for a few weeks. Window rubbers are dodgy as hell, front right headlight has been smashed and broken, dodgy pipework, dead battery, its not running, ... bla bla
but at the same time it has a few things going for it. SR20 with Aries Pistons, new T3 T4 Power Master Turbo, Gotech... and no rust. so the plan is still on. im gonna completely strip it and start again. ive got arunaround car so this can be a project car for now. But im hoping to be on the road and on some of your tails in 4 months MAX!
So basically if you guys want stock parts like mud gaurds, rear wiper system, back seats and mirrors etc etc get hold of me, im tossing all that kind of heavy stuff out. At the moment the SX is at Auto Trix in Durban. The guys there are gonna get the Gotech up and running properly and then it'll be buried in my garage until the resurection is atleast semi completed in a few months time.
Cheers
