It's a bit modern isn't it....... I'm not a boy racer, I iz not a drifter, the only skids I leave are in my undershorts but an opportunity presented itself and I couldn't turn it down. Don't get your hopes up...  It has been dormant for a while...   It mings inside!   Oh, it's a horrible colour..... |

Anyway, it touched down 2 weeks ago now. I've been a busy boy. Flushed fuel lines, replaced oil filter as it had rusted through, new plugs, stuck a battery on and she runs. Quick bleed of the clutch and she drives, burst a couple of brake pipes but a few feet of copper pipe and she stops. ABS works too.  There was a slight incident in its past which resulted in this:  But a moody straighten out:  And we're mostly sorted for now.  |

Now, no superturbonutterbastard would be complete without some fun stuff..... Blitz turbo timer and boost thing:  Moomo wheel:  Moomo knob:  You wouldn't believe the stuff I had to put my hands in to get the interior clean enough to go near.....  There's a Bailey dump valve, a race actuator, hybrid turbo and some other stuff on the motor and it exits with fire and flames through this:  |

Now, when I picked it up, it was sat up to the top of the not inconsiderably sized potato cannon in leaves and debris as well as having a tree growing up it. As you may be surprised to learn, its Japanese construction had not protected it 100% from a little corrosion, despite the stylish pale green treatment applied to it.   Gotta keep the MOT man smiling....  I know its not pretty but its strong and functional.  I reckon it took half an hour to coax all the electrics into life..  |

I'm having some metal folded for the sills, the back ends are quite bad and I will need to do a little at the front ends too, that's fr another day though so in the meantime I turned my attention to the boot lid. A notorious rust spot, this one is bad (by my standards, might be a good one.... who knows) Spoiler off...  Grindy grindy weldy weldy.....    Evidence of a former BGW I think...  Mostly done now, couple of patches on the inside.  |

It just seemed a shame to tear its heart out and crush it....
On that not, it occurs to me that it had a new (brand new) engine 40k ago. Been off the road 8 years think.

I don't comment too often on here, but I love this. Its right up my street and the kind of thing I'd feel sorry for and come home with too. Great thread and all the best with the recommissioning. Great stuff!! |

In fairness, I'd already put the feelers out for a B310 2 door saloon....

Great work - knowing how these things rust I was expecting the underside to look a lot worse when I saw the state of it in the first post.

I'm pleased you're sorting it out, they've become engine donors and not respected in their own right as the great cars they are! I had a slightly later s13 and it was one of the most enjoyable cars I've ever owned. The engines are fantastic too  |

Love the S13's. They are a really sweet chassis. My brother had a NA CA18, and the handling (it was standard suspension) was sublime.

I love these cars and were it not for the fact they all rot so badly I would already have one. Really glad to see this one getting the treatment and not being turning into yet another drift car. These must be getting so rare in their standard form these days |

We'll see how things progress. Looking forward to getting it on the road and that shouldn't be more than a couple of weeks away.
