Nissan S15 Spec S Project

[John_MK5]

Nah Im gonna get onto county hall tomorrow and sort out mot and registration. Want it motd before I do anything. Then paint, suspension, wheels and engine will be last. No major panic for power yet.

 

[hannakournikova]

good plan. any ideas on colour yet?

 

[John_MK5]

Not sure. Realised the blue looks **** in real life so will be a nicer shade.

 

[hannakournikova]

always loved s15 in gunmetal

 

[John_MK5]

Not really a fan of pewter grey. Always liked red but cant be ****ed doing the engine bay etc. Will just get a nice shade of blue I think.

 

[hannakournikova]

Sprint blue it is then

 

[John_MK5]

Yep. And a nice set of amg 447s. Lol no point forgetting my felt spec roots lol

I hope it falls off your stupid fork lift.

 

[rotor_dude]

nice car lad, enjoy
yeah cant beat a jap import for no rust lol, saves mega bucks on rust and panel repairs,
love how you said "Hard to beat a clean fresh underside" then stick it up on a fork lift lol
thats the worst thing you can do to a car, the damage the forklift arms do can be very bad, might not be so fresh after that lol

keep up with the updates

Sepang Blue

Cant beat the forklift @rotor_dude and yet to damage a sill or chassis rail. The forklift doesnt mark them at all. Id rather the contact patch of a forklift toe on the chassis rails than a 2 post lift on the sills.

 

[rotor_dude]

you hardcase lad
eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

each to their own sounds like you take some care which is good,
freaks me out though, as the chances of a car sliding/falling off is well ..... there lol
lift is fine as long as car isnt rotten there lol plus i usually put arms on chassis rails anyways, alot stronger as you say
the red mx5 looks hardcase on stilts

i remember an rx2 4 door in nz at breakers, was actually mint, not like mint here lol, but they had moved it around on fork lift and hadnt used a pallet to protect it, damaged underneath and outer sills, wrote the car off and from ever being put back on the road, suppose just a bad user of fork lift, but has put me off ever since and freaks me out when i see it lol

Some more pics,

For when I need to go on a Japanese Toll Road

And for when I break down or stick it in a hedge

Honestly, the back seats are for throwing your jacket on. No idea why they even bothered. lol

 

[rotor_dude]

very nice,
back seats lol you should look at rx7 back seats,
i think its because its easier to comply a 4 seater than a 2 seater for to get road registered etc

you not just going to clean it then clear coat it for the patina look lol could be a new jap trend lol

just need a video of a burnout now

 

[pobmk4]

Yep. And a nice set of amg 447s. Lol no point forgetting my felt spec roots lol

Nice to see though, have you it up at the shed? Must get up a run some evening!

[chopaholic]

[John_MK5]

I might cut a few stickers for my own. Will see how I get on as I want it motd with the right mileage

 

[Lostinspace]

Loving this car lad

Can't wait to see it sprayed and minted up. Do you know what colour you're going for yet?

 

[John_MK5]

I have no idea yet. Will be blue or dark purple id say.

 

[hannakournikova]

What does a forklift weigh?
How much weight can one take before it'll end up like this ..
