Veilwest

Ya I'm working on it Plan to go less stretch and a bit less rear camber. Should fill the guards up a bit more. Right now working on power and getting a new engine back into my pig

good to see I'm being noticed, not for the wrong things haha

Haha thanx for all the imput, I've been hearing a lot of good things latley about Vipec so I think I will go in that direction.

Ok thanx a lot man

Ok cheers for the insight, ya my tuner is recomending the ViPec. So I'm guessing the plug n play is better than the standalone?

Hey, I am now looking for a new ECU for my 1999 Nissan Silvia S15. Over time I have been told how good the Apexi power FC's are for my car and have read a lot of import mags that show a lot of people using them. When I brought this up with a couple of mechanics they rekoned that the power FC is old tech/a biatch to tune and to go with something newer like the Vi-PEC V88. Does anyone have any experience with either of these ECU's or have any recomendations which they have used in thier own car. Would love to get a better insight into this issue before I go and blow a lot of money on the wrong thing. Cheers

Hurray I've been spotted

hahaha sounds like an idea ;P

Im up for a cruise as my car will be out of the shop by then Random I Am + Tiger + (1 + another dog) maybe Nerm Trozzle MAG86 (maybe) J'son (Chat) Andrew (Def) Prue (maybe) MIVEC Rig136 Shell + Molly turboty + wife (maybe) ZCR + Melly! CeJay + 1 (probably) Turismo Veilwest

Ya, i was sorta thinking that the other day. Might be overdoing it... Less is more maybe. Thanx for the comment man have a lot to think about

Ok new idea, I was thinking of wrapping the whole car in White carbon fibre Vinyl. any thoughts?

My dad spotted the what used to be Yellow C-west wide body S15 today in a woden carpark. It is now covered in vinyl completley. looks interesting

Not sure yet, I dont mind white but i was thinking maybe a white with a blue pearl underlay instead of factory gold. or even black. Champagne? dunno yet XD

Plan is basiacally to make a daily driver/ occassional track/drift car. Doing exterior atm, then going to move onto the interior (something like alcantara and wet/dry carbon, black and blue) And then some engine. Want to get it up to around the 250-300 rwkw mark. Will post exacts when i get them within this build thread

whoops, typo

Time for some picture updates.. Kit has been fully fitted, just getting the rear stock quarters cut and welded back up, then on to paint. Pictures update (scroll down)

So I bought my S15 about 7 months ago freshly imported and stock as stock can be minus a 3" exhaust system. Since then I have installed some minor mods and have been saving up for a big spend. Now It took me a while to decide on what direction I wanted to go with the car in terms of looks and purpose, but I have finally made some big decisions. I have decided to go with a wide look sitting on aggressive dishy wheels. It was one of the first looks that I ever saw on a S15 and I fell in love instantly. It is turning out to be one of those looks that you loved as a kid , seeing this awsome sounding car coming down the street or track and turning out to be a small jap car that was kitted out to look as grumpy as it sounds. At first I shopped around and had a look at what there was available in terms of body kits. Originally I was planning on sticking to the "safe" look, the clean lines. But after a while at looking at S15 after S15 with a vertex kit on it I got sick of seeing the same thing. I wanted something different, something original in a sense of what I first loved about the car. So I started to look into wide body kits and a few grabbed my attention. The two top contenders were the C-west wide body and the Vertex D1-GT wide body. Although there were problems with both which made it hard for me to decide. I loved the front of the C-west kit but I hated the stock looking back, and I didnt like the front of the Vertex kit. So instead of trying to decide wether to be unhappy with the front or back of the car, I decided to get the best of both worlds. So I combined them. The car is currently in the process of having the kit and wheels fit/painted etc. About two days into the build and the full kit was test fitted to see where the problem areas were. So far so good. Only some minor lining up problems. Due to budget I am going to bolt on the rear guards until I find the funds down the track to mold them and respray the car. Here are a few pictures of the build so far. The stock base parts rear bar streeetch stretch and dish, perfect match rear kit fitted, waiting for perfecting Front quarters on and front wheels Little bit of camber and they sit in perfectly More to come and a list of mods to come as well. Cant wait to see it finished
