James' S13

[james_6694]

Alright, hi guys!

gonna go about this a different way because right now imo the cars looking the best it ever has.. if you want any history etc on it just ask
As in the introductions thread
basically this is my s13 as of Sunday
sitting on autostrada modenas in 16x9+8 and 16x10+9
lowered on tein HA's, not base height adjustable though, just normal height adjustment and pulled helper springs out and yeah
visually its kinda oem+ atm, but I'm gonna be fitting a slit spoiler on it soon which should mix it up, then possibly boso pipes up the the shelf of the rear bar, as well as having interchangeable normal pipes
recently I got defected twice in 6 days, cleared the first one while slapped hahaha, then got the second one in my driveway! weew
it's taken me a long time to get the car like this and the cars been through a lot of shit unfortunately if anyone wants info on that ask and I can post it up!

Cheers!













And just for lols here's how I cleared the first defect, photo taken in the inspection bay :p
will clear this second one soon!



any feedback/opinions welcome

Looks really good! What's defected? Like a ticket?

[RoughOldSuby]

I like it, nice and simple
I often see s13's and go fuck me that one looked amazing and when i go back to look at what stood out it's always because it has the brick headlights

Thanks!
basically here in Australia there's regulations when it comes to modifying the car, eg height, car can't be lower than 100mm from the ground, mines clearly lower than that so the policeman got out a rolly wheel on a stick thing and rolled it under the car, it then proceeded to hit every bit of metal there :p basically if the wheel goes under clearly its legal height
so the defect notice is to say its a defective vehicle because it doesn't comply and then I have to make it comply and take it somewhere to get it cleared
so kinda like a ticket
first defect was for poke and stretched tyres
second one was low and taillights being all red, so gotta raise it and swap tails

Thanks dude
yeah they really make the car for me, they're expensive due to supply vs demand and such, which is funny because they're base model headlights, but they definitely give it a different presence.

thanks dude!
yeah I know haha, I could have turned the second away because it was on my driveway? but I figured it's not worth delaying the inevitable and probs making it worse
just gotta clear it and go back, I don't think I could not have a slammed car now D: it's like a bad addiction but doesn't hurt anyone haha

[james_6694]

sooo basically, I cleared the second defect thursday got done on friday taking photos haha, so that's the third in a month, worth it but, photo's came out mint!




anyways gonna leave it kinda roadworthy height now except for events I think after I clear this one

Also, my slit spoiler got painted! basically it mounts up off the bottom of the rear bumper and runs under the exhaust pipes

[james_6694]

one last actual post until I probably get this manual swap done/slit spoiler fitted, whatever comes first, probs manual as rear main seal is on the way out. although swapping in an uncracked dash this weekend so if people wanna see how that goes at all let me know

did this video with TNTProductions, suss his page on fb out and check out his channel. was awesome fun to make the video and the location is sickkkk, even just to explore if you love urbex stuff, enjoy

Might just get a new lip soon, this ones copped a lot of shit now hahaha
but the slit spoiler is on!

so here it is, I'll upload some better ass shots if/when some get taken that aren't with a phone, or if any from the meets surface, but for now:






Now I need pipesssss, should tie together quite nicely I think then because at the moment it looks a bit unfinished, that and fitting/moulding some pods around it although that means no more mudflaps haha

[james_6694]

Okayyyy, so I punted the oil sump over the pickup about a month ago and it spun a bearing as a result of this... so new engine is almost in and done with a manual conversion using an s14 sr20det box, katana shifter cos I'm the coolest too haha, engine going in is a jdm spec s s15 motor so it's VCT SR20DE, when I get the photos etc off my phone I'll do a bit of a dump and go through the story of it all, but it's almost done
I also snapped the slit spoiler off but I'll attach some good photo's that were taken with it on there before it came off! will get another soon because it's mad and I missed having the slit spoiler, also got a few other plans in the works seeing as I'm trying to keep ahead of the s13 game a bit/ at least keep it different







Anddd here's a bonus shot of me parking under a truck trailer haha, still has the slit spoiler on here too :') the cars also driven under a boomgate since then too :L

[mikey G]

Great pics. That diffuser is sick!

[james_6694]

Great pics. That diffuser is sick!

Cheers dude! hopefully the next one I get will be moulded in too to fit around and flow with the bumper etc too a bit better

[DeltaAlpha9]

I need a set of Autostrada Modena's in my life... The car is looking good so far, not sure how I feel about the upside down spoiler though.

Love the car man. I personally love those slit spoilers, so popular in japan. Who makes them?
