  3. exactly, there isnt anything new you can do really with a 200 anymore hence the zed
  4. u reckon....haha when it works i absolutely love it, when its broke i still absolutely love the look of it, its got me a fair bit of advertising for the garage and has definatly bought me some new customers which is a little bit of the reason i built it, sometimes tho i think i should of just stuck with a tried and tested well setup 200sx. having said that tho im sure after abit more graft (and money) it will be the car i want it to be
  5. been abit quiet with up dates due to varies things but hopefully all the little niggles will be sorted for the 2012 season.also a few changes... went to bdc's norfolk licensing day and managed to get a license along with the other slide motorsport boys, did it in adams skyline (legend for letting me), thats such a good car, plenty of lock and so much useable power(his skylines also in the garage geting a 'spruce' up ready for next season). got another set of grids so i dont have to use other @*!# wheels(still could do with another set) more lock more useable power low down finish most of the little jobs that need doing that have been neglected! been to a few more days in it but its had problems at most of them, heres a few pics of the latest days out... ^^ that was up at teeside, definalty the best day ive had in it so far, only issue i had was a missfire towards the end of the day which turned out to be some dodgy coilpacks ^^^ had a few people make it on computer games which was nice (pic doesnt work for some reason??) ^^ a day up at santa pod,thats me chasing adam in the skyline, only really went as we were delivering the kgb deals cefiro back to pod after a makeover, was fun for about an hour until the car gave up. not even sure what the issue is for sure at the minute, id lost motivation with it but gonna have to search it out and get grafting on it again. again at pod, this was with the new bc coilovers on thanks to apex performance, drove a million times better, was still slightly too soft so ive got a firmer set of springs to put on which should sort it and i'll leave it with this picture as it reminds me that however much i hate the god damn car it looks fooking awesome, well i think it does anyway roll on 2012!!
  6. for anyone thats interested me and the the rest of the slide boys will be drifting up at teeside on sunday, 3pm till late. anyone wants a passenger ride etc then come say hello
  7. bumpers fine really, just cracked again were it was plastic welded, 3 drift days no damage what so ever, then knackered it putting it on the trailor!!not ideal ye i'll post it up here when i next go
  8. final update for now... booked the vic check a few weeks ago and it was for today. been soooo busy this week i didnt get chance to look at the car till 11.30pm latnight, luckily after a bit of ****ing around i realised the pin that holds the pedal to the master cylinder had dissapeared, whipped one off an sx pedal i had in stock and hey presto sorted just had to swap a couple of wheels and temporarily fix the front bumper, vic checks are like mot's, you can legally drive to them without tax the place was 20 miles away so i had great fun this morning driving there, obviously i kept to all speed limits and didnt spin the wheels at all :smash::smash: usually the vic check take 10mins ish, after an hour and alot of phonecalls and umming and arring he came back with the pass sheet reason for it taking forever was due to some of the chassis numbers missing and obviously difffernt engine and different colour. happy as larry i steadily drove back to the garage, just got to wait for the logbook so i can tax it. next outing is norfolk arena on the 15th of this month, quite a few of us going the night before for a few beers then a day of fun
  9. so after eventually getting back from pod and blasting thru all the customer work i managed to squeeze some zed time in, another equivelant braided line wasnt an option so i went to pirtek/mend-a-hose and got them to make one, rated to 18000psi aparently. i wanted to do a million other jobs on the car but time just didnt let me. birmingham wheels was the next drift day, i wasnt overly fussed about it but i need to sort all the teething issues so decided to go last minute, didnt get there until about 2.30 after an incident with the truck,also was abit hungover :o# fair few folk there, and it turned out to be a fun day, think i only had 4 sessions but that was enough, it was all going perfect until the clutch gave up on the last lap :wack: few pictures and a video... yes i no the exhausts arent straight, havent had chance to chop up and sort the japspeed direct fit one yet :wack: bumper didnt come off i just didnt take it as i/we damaged it putting it on the trailor after pod looks @*!# with out it on no power steering issues although it aint as fast as pod so maybe the problem will still be there,time will tell
  10. overdue update of how the car is getting on... after the incident at buxton i removed the power steering line and took it back to where i got it, they said its a faulty line and gave me another :wack: i wasnt convinced but had to give it a go. next outing was santa pod last wednesday, havent been there in years, ended up going with the other slide boys to try and get some twinning practice in, car was awesome to start with then later in the day POP! PAS hose popped agian, luckily this time it was at the pump end so fluid didnt go on the turbo :smash: few photos from the day stolen from the dodgem squad write up http://dodgemsquad.co.uk/?p=1427
  11. its around the 400 mark when ive set the boost properly, maybe abit more
  12. well its been used!! went to buxton drifting it yesterday,its made me love it even more its very laggy but will just take abit of getting used to for now until i change turbo etc. had a couple of issue's 1st was that a boost pipe decided to come off and i ran over it :wack: after alot of hammering my mate kinda straighten it out and i bodged it back on, suprisingly it held up. other issue was... a fire :annoyed: the high pressure line for the power steering popped shooting all the fluid on the turbo which sent flames everywhere, 1st i new of it was when the pas went heavy then saw smoke coming out the bonnet, by the time i got out the car a marshal was already on it with an extinguisher :notworthy, its melted the airfilter abit and made a mess of the clean engine bay, apart from that no damage. i new there'd be teething problems so not fussed at all, just need to get it fully road legal to test some more instead of wasting drift days! someone found a short video, not sure how to link them up tho? if this works turn the volume up and a picture one of the dodgem squad boys took...
  13. well thats it, ive got the bug back, cant wipe the grin off my face. its awesome, laggy as fook and i'll sort that when funds allow but fookin hell it goes!! and the noise....WOW!! not sure on buxton yet, it'l be a last minute decision i think
  14. not sure ive never been but its at an oval track, google buxton drifting im sure that'l tell all have a quiet day in the garage today which means more zed time chucked in the passenger seat, fitted harnesses, fire extinguisher (not fully fitted yet tho) a load of other time consuming little jobs etc and ive booked an mot at 4.30, dont care if it passes or what but its the only legalish way to roadtest it. inside shot... and a finished outside shot... :D:D
  15. done alot more on it over the last week or so, had a massive list that a got thru but as i did a couple of things id find another so it still aint finished but its a hell of a lot closer. had to take the sump off as there was a leak, did that and all seemed good but it seems theres another tiny tiny weep that needs sorting stuck antifreeze in it and bled it up, all good. made custome power steering lines. ive made a heatshield up for the brake and clutch reseviors and also abit of sleeving for the throttle cable. bled the brakes aswel. a couple more pictures now its on the red rims... ive made some s13 mirrors fit as i didnt have any 350 ones plus theyre mega expensive and dont look that good. think i'll get some carbon ones similar to the dw s15 etc. supposed to be drifting it at buxton at the weekend but a mates birthday mite be taking over that, or depending on times etc i may just go to buxton for a few hours on saturday. i'll see, i'd like to give it a blast somewhere local really but its hard as it aint road legal yet. either way aslong as nothing drastic happens it'l be at santa pod on wednesday
  16. knocked up abit of a list yesterday with things to do before its driftable and there was 80 things on it some are 5 minute jobs, mast are a few hours but i shall be doing another long week and trying to do it all. wheels got painted today, along with adams (his cars getting a makeover in the next 2 weeks), also mark white came up in his s14 so we joked about painting his wheels...we ended up painting them!!!
  17. not sure if this link will work but heres a video of it starting and running, sounds @*!# through my phone but love the real life sound!! http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?v= ... eo_comment also took it for a little blast round the industrial estate earlier, that brought a massive smile to my face, found a few problem,small water leak from the stat housing, tiny oil weap from the sump hopefully i dont need to remove the engine to sort that. also the car waaaaaay too low, well at least on the front, going to raise it and shove spacers on so it still looks good. not a mark on the exhaust but the chassis scrapes ALOT, also a little mark on the sump(which may be why its leaking). so i mite male some sort of sump gaurd aswel. still got a massive list of @*!# to do on it but im hoping to be drifting it next weekend one last picture for now....
  18. its a runner!!!! big thank you to mitch @drift garage for helping me with some wiring diagrams etc turns out it was wired up right 1st time except the powers to the coilpacks were the wrong way round due to them not having connectors
  19. under the bonnet shot, again lots to finish and tidy up but its getting there...
  20. lastnight we (i did 1 panel i think, he did 99% of it) flatted the car down then buffed it up and gave it a quick wash, happy is an understatement :smokin: also managed to get alot closer to finishing the car loom, when thats done i can start to wire up the engine loom quick shot of how the switch panel and dash are looking...
  21. well ive come to the conclusion im @*!# at project threads, ive barely got time to build the car let alone go thru it all on here. i suppose after its done i'll update it all and document it abit better as i have a fair few pictures. heres another picture tho, needs spacers but apart from that i ****in love it!!! what you think....
