No Crust Racing

Lol I think that's more pertinent for my track car thread.

I think it has, I think I'd like a 35 next.

Lol I'm not sure if I should be impressed or concerned with how much effort went into that, you must be fun at parties Some threads relate to my weekender, some to my track car. All have promoted quality conversation imo. Something a forum needs to survive. #noregrets. I come here to talk to like minded car enthusiast and bounce ideas around with subject matter experts - I make no apologies for that. P.S. New C63S is sexy as!

Haven't done anything, been on holidays. Had a thread about track cars, which you saw, maybe he meant that?

They vary widely like any car with multiple models across multiple years and types of usage. The attraction there is that being lighter, and NA, the running costs (time and money) will be lower overall than another boosted tyre, fuel, and brake hungry beast. I already have two of those

lol I like the idea of an Evo, but it would be a chunk more spending for likely minimal gain over the current car. I think an MX5 warrants a closer look, in terms of light, NA, and capable, it seems to top the charts. In the meantime, as was suggested, I'll track the Silvia some more.

Ahh yeah, all those 5k Evo's getting around...

Find me a swap...

World time attack Mini Moke. Lightweight, almost open wheeler lol

Lol you guys are a laugh, thanks for all the suggestions and discussion, has been informative

25k for something you can't take your mates in =\

Oh the sale is on softs is it? maybe they'll come up to being a medium Soft will get chew up too quickly. They might be better than an RS-RR in the same size but im talking 235 vs 255 with the added advantage of the RS-RR lasting longer.

Is that going to make "that" much of a difference though? I assume they go a bit hard and will require more heat in them to work? For the money they're on par with 255 Federal RS-RRs, ($600 for 235 R17s). Would they be better than those? I'm tossing up the same rubber as Hadouken or going 255 if I can clear it.

Hah that's cool, odd with the shifter on the left though. Bit of a gap between Silvia sell price and that, think he'd swap? Plus a flat cap of course..

Would never happen with a Silvia. Need to go through 100 tyre kickers and low ballers plus all the shitbox swaps. Drifters have killed the import market.

It's a CA, so way tougher than SR junk[emoji14]

I saw those, very cheap. Did he have 255 R17? He hasn't responded to me yet.

Yeah. I was part way through a subframe swap when I bought the 34. I had planned to "finish the Silvia off" first but I was watching the 34 market and noticed it shifting. Subframe swap is just about done now, only started that like, July last year

Sounds like a loaded question... why.

The tuner of my GTR would handle it, though he wants me to put a sprint in it, which is a 1k ECU and this is a budget car so I thought a nistune would be fine, but he doesn't like them as he has "too many of them come back with issues". He's a Haltech man though so who knows. I dunno if parting it would net me more $$, the flat cap drifter brigade has ruined second hand prices, plus it takes much more time. I'll just finish the rear end work, get some 255s on it and go out and chop some 300kw Skylines again to make me feel better.

All that and I was told market value is 5k...

Slightly different for me. I have a work car for my daily, just an SY territory but it's free so winning. My 34 is my weekender, s13 is dedicated track car.

You know me, I like to discuss things and work my way through it but also see what else I dont know which is why forums are great. I'll campaign the S13 a bit more I think, I really wanna see how it goes on 255s.

Everyone keeps Banging on about MX5s but given how much work has gone into this s13 it might be easier to stick with it and just not chase power. 200rwkw is safe enough for a CA now the head gasket is fresh. Maybe I should spend a few hundred on an ecu for safety and a tidier tune as I only have the old 90s era Apexi SAFC2 and SITC, sitting on top of a tuned base ROM. If I got an MX5 it would need to have the same level of mods mine does, brakes, suspension, seat, cage, some basic aero etc and most of the ones I see for sale in the budget of what this Silvia is worth don't have all that. Sad knowing this Silvia is worth 5-7k tops

Also long gone sorry. I have these parts.
