Bride trim

Totally forgot i hadn’t even done a post on getting my door cards and glove box retrimed in red logo bride fabric.

Pretty stoked with how they turned out, my supermade mats and some interior paint (when i get a proper cage) will finish it off nicely i think. 

Have slowly been fixing my front bumper from getting banged up at taupo.

Before…

and where im at now…

Also a few weekends ago i made up a rack to put all our wheels on instead of them lying all around the workshop.

Joe Manji Article

Cool little write up Performance Car magazine did on the Joe Manji/Team S-Class day Adam went to a few months back.

Kranze

The centers are a bit worn out, but ill fix that after the next trackday.

You can kind of see the new mirrors in the first pic too.

The boat arrived

Skyline Update

A while ago the r32 got pink stickered and ordered off the road, so I’ve been spending some time and money getting it all legal again. Thats all sorted now.

I also got a pair of model 5’s,

they came black, so I sanded them back and adam resprayed them a bit  nicer.

Fitted some of the parts that I’d collected, its still a piece, but its getting there.

The crack in the front bumper is from a cats eye that hit the other day when changing lanes, maybe BN on an r32 wasn’t the best idea for a daily aha.

Happy Birthday Adam

It was Adams birthday a week or so back. I got him a set of HID’s, also got myself some. Thank you Mr. Harte for sourcing them in the U.S. for me.

Adam also got some raybrig lenses, you can sort of see them in this photo

Monday, Taupo

We both headed down to Taupo on Monday for a drift day organised by Drift Motorsport NZ. Awesomely run day, heaps of track time, basically full track drifting and super cool people to drift with.

Damage for the day was; my rear gaurd and bumper destroyed due to a tyre exploding, 2 axles, and the track mashall beating up  adams hotroad front when he came off (fixable though!).

Cheers to Keisuke for the photos, check his blog for more shots from the day.

Adam quickly pulled out the rears the Saturday before, so he could get rid of some of the camber in the back, hes going to clean up and respray the quarters soon. Both cars had heaps more grip, and it made a massive difference. I also got my car tuned, it made 200kw which isn’t much, but the torque curve keeps climbing right up till redline, and it was awesome to drift with. I just need to get a boost controller as the boost was dropping from 14 to 12ish psi.

Both cars are due in for a freshen up soon.

Sunday Supsension Work

We spent today getting a few things done to get my s13 rolling again so it can go off for a tune.

Adam did a sick job fitting and welding up my new strut tops that Nigel sent over.  So awesome

The inner guard before under seal

all finished up and primered
