Lloydy's Nismo prepared S15

[LuPix_S15]

haha your S15 is far, far superior to a Fiesta - doesn't matter whether it's 600bhp(or whatever the output is) and has 4x4 it's still a damn FEZZA lmao


Car's lookin' ace dude :thumbs:

 

[Lloydy]

Yep, Personally i'd rather have a go in his Mk2 Escort!

For info it was restricted on the day to just 350hp, 650nm... but is capable of 600hp

if DC shoes asked me to destroy tires set after set, and then after a year of promo build another WRC spec weapon.....

Right, yesterday i fitted the Apex type 2. Bit tricky in places but i got there in the end minus the bumper bar.

Questions for those who have this intercooler fitted....

Have you ditched the bumper bar and undertray or cut them down?

I've also removed the airbox elbow

Improvements: none that are very noticable apart from the BOV making more noise.... This must be a good thing lol

Cheers!

 

[craig8585]

Removing the bumper bar is not a good idea mate for many reasons.. I think people tent to trim them rather than remove them

 

[Lloydy]

Since the last update i have...

Fitted the intercooler aswell as modifying the airbox slightly:

Briefly fitted and then removed the spare boot with huuuge massive spoiler:

And i've been refurbing some SSR longchamp XR4's - colour ideas please!

S'all good, and more to come over the next week or 2!

 

[tooley]

looking good man!

 

[gareth]

bronze or black!

 

[Lloydy]

Slight update!

Decided to refit the greddy wmic and sell the apex t2.

Managed to get an A'PEXi induction kit. The noise this thing makes is insane, truly addictive. Noticable improvement over stock airbox with nismo panel.

Fitted the carbon Cusco rear strut brace. Again i felt an improvement on turn in... Maybe placebo effect, but it looks neat

And last week i entered an Autotest which was brilliant fun!

Loving ownership, and it's coming on nicely

 

[Lloydy]

Right, no updates as such... But i took a cool photo of it the other night so i thought i would share it.

With my mates' S15 at St.Davids

My little Choro-Q

I've also done a few drift days down Pembrey which have been fun and i've learnt alot about the car.

(Sporting Lonchamp XR4's on the front, gheyy hand out the window)




I've also painted my brake calipers silver and i got a new double-din headunit which plays MP3 CD's

In 2012 i will focus my attention on track days. Over the short term I will get an Origin lab ducktail spoiler, and that's about i think.

Thanks for looking!

 

[JaseYpk]

like the little toy car haha. is it wind up? would make a great stocking filler haha

 

[Lloydy]

Yeah man, it's quite rapid and it does donuts lol

 

[Lloydy]

Right, well after a little incident at Pembrey i decided to get a new bumper... I was looking at getting a C-west jobbie but Adams stock bumper was the right colour and the right price.

I took the S15 on a round trip to Twickenham to pick it up, 420 miles on one tank which i was quite pleased about

The next day i fitted the bumper, went on like a glove but i felt it missed something... So with thanks to Sideways simon i bought a DC2 Integra lip for it. That needed some modifying in order for it to fit, but i think it looks good.

I will be getting the nismo one repaired, however i think i prefer this standard bumper. I just have a couple of other bits to sort out aesthetically then i'll be happy

Thanks for looking

 

[S15_SAM]

That looks really good with the teg lip! Seen a few lately and loved them all with it on! Good choice!

 

[pegliobaglio]

Looks very nice dude,I have to agree the lip is a nice touch!

 

[meddler]

What mods did you have to do to get the lip to fit?

 

[Lloydy]

Thanks guys!

I had to cut some slits on the underside of the lip for it to stretch around. When i get the chance, i will take photos of the underside for you to see.

Apart from that, I had to create 5 holes underneath and 2 on each side of the bumper to screw the lip to it

 

[meddler]

Some pics would be great. Thanks.

 

[s15Irl]

Beautiful car!! Nismo wheels are the business! Have to say those r34 gtr wheels are pretty sweet too though! Both bumpers look great but if it were me I'd be getting the nismo one repaired and keeping the standard one for a spare!

 

[Lloydy]

Cheers mate!

The R34 wheels are long gone, in Belgium i think. I will get round to repairing the Nismo bumper once the Aero bumper is painted. Oh the choice of 3 bumpers... I'll probably sell one of them, not sure which one yet



Oh, i will take photos of the underside of this bumper when i fit the aero one in a couple of weeks

Cheers!
