Hi all.. I've bought another S15 because I simply missed my old one too much. :wack:

It was previously Mitto's. You all know how it looked before.. Gold, Black, Blue, White, rusty and battered! The spec however is retarded good inside, underneath and under the bonnet. All it needed was the body sorting.. So! The arches have been tubbed, cut, pulled and flared massively, the BN Sports bonnet ditched for a standard one and then all painted perfectly in BMW Alpine White III.

Decided against running any type of body kit so its been kept stock bumpers and no skirts with a DMAX rear wing. The idea being that it looks more 'posh sports car' and not.. 'nob head boy racer'. Lol. If you measure by wheel offset, the rear of the car is now more than 200mm wider than standard and the front standard wings have been pulled 40mm each side. She's all metal too!! :D

All I'm waiting on now is a couple of tweaks to the map from Greg at ProTuner, booked for 14th June. In the mean time ill swap the front 225/40 Advan Neova AD08s (which are amazing) for a smaller more stretched tyre so i can drop the whole car really low.. 326 style.

..and then, as many drift/track days as I can afford.

Anychance of a full spec list?

Wouldnt mind having a read about all the goodies this car has!

Must have some power to get those mahooosive wheels to break traction! Is it just the coppermix you have got in terms of transmission upgrades?

Haha! Thanks mate, hard to believe its the same car eh? I'm looking forward to that too!

Full spec (as much as i can remember) is now added to the top section mate! :)

Its making around 370+ bhp. Ill get the exact figures when its on the rollers in a couple of weeks time. The wheels aren't that huge, 18x10 with a 235/40. The Geomasters and aggressive wheel alignment do give it a massive amount of grip though! Yeah has the Nismo Super Coppermix and flywheel with the S15 6 speed box. No signs of any issues at all.. but, from what ive heard, this clutch doesn't create any gearbox problems like the usual paddle clutch / twin plate setups do.

still need to come see this! next elite carvery crew!
Yes mate!!

Reminds me of my car, body wise, when I bought it with boner arches. Looks cool.

Also, found some mad old photos of the car drifting in Japan!! This car has some history!





And finally, Greg at ProTuner mapped the car on Thursday. Its making a safe 355bhp and 360ftlb torque! :D







Very very very happy with the car! :)
