Snow White the dirty drift whore.

[The_Hunster]

All right im a long-time lurker, practically first time poster…but my car is finally starting to take shape so thought I would introduce it (and myself) to the antilag community. I have been in the ‘scene’ for a while now but have stuck mainly to silvia and drift orientated forums/cruises. Right well, I originally got the bug for modified 4 bangers thanks to my parents, who forbade me from getting an 8 or even 6 cylinder first car. I use to be a big Ford fan (major emphasis on the past tense in that statement), so I was keen on an xr8 or xr6, but my parents insistence on lower engine capacity lead me right to the silvia’s lair, and I’ve never looked back. My first import when I was 19, it was a very clean, kitted 180sx. It was a beautiful car, but too beautiful, I was terrified of using its potential or parking it in open places for fear that something might happen to its immaculate pearlescent/glitter paint job. It had another downside as well….it had a CA, knowing relatively little at the time about silvias I was not aware of the negative stigma surrounding the CA but I quickly became introduced to its ‘quirks’ and after owning the car for 8 months I decided to give it the flick.

The new beginning. Well following the sale of the 180sx I went through a period of hating cars so I bought a lancer (that makes sense doesn’t it?). However, the need for boost and Rwd power soon crept back and a year later a mate and I went splits on purchasing an unregistered s13 which we intended on having as a drift project. Wow….did that turn out to be a terrible idea! I thought after my issues with the 180sx I would be well tuned to the sight of a lemon but apparently not. The s13 had a lot of issues and it took over a year of the car being off the road with countless hours spent on it by my mate, myself and workshops before she ran right. Whilst the car was off the road we had also managed to come to the conclusion that drift in WA was far far far too expensive for the budget of two uni students, so we decided licensing the car to cruise in etc, was more practical. Well the car hadn’t been licensed since 2002, so there were a few headaches but we finally got there in march of this year with some fresh plates chucked on her :) My mate was then well and truly over the process by then so I bought the car off him at a very generous price and have continued to modify it…the car is now my daily and has treated me very well. I've been to a few AHG events and went to the collie drift day earlier this year, and plan on doing as many AHG/collie days as possible and MAY do a practice night at barbs.

I got the car back from the paint shop today…and also my new rims arrived. Will hopefully have the car put together for Saturday where ill try and get some photos of me at an AHG day.

Will update thread with progress though not much will be happening for a while as i have a fractured wrist and cant work :( Please let me know what you think!

[XF Falcon]

those rims will look hot on it, provided the offsets all good :)

[thrtytwo]

nice rims mate, with them and the front + rear bars should look sweet !

[Scaf]

Nice mate, can't wait to see it with bars and rims on.

[Endless]

Haha Dale's old S13 by any chance? Used to go quite well i remember.. :)

[The_Hunster]

Yes quite a bit of thought has gone into rim and offest choice so hopefully all should work out well :)


Haha Dale's old S13 by any chance? Used to go quite well i remember.. :)

Hah gotta love Perth, every import has a history, yup its Dale's old s13, has an interesting past but in any case im trying to undo/change most of what he did to the car so that it is mine.

[Halle Terry]

I actually really like the Watanabes on it right now, but each to their own. Good stuff going to Collie too, always wanted to do it but too scared of binning my Chaser.

How did you find it? Difficult? or relativly easy, heard it's a tight track so never carrying too much speed.

[xr06t]

collie is a good place to start man, tonnes of runoff in the right areas.

also nice looking s13 mate!

[Skitzo]

Oh hey there hunter. How are you?

Paint looks schmick man. I told you to send me a pic asap, but no love. What gives? You better chuck some pics up this afternoon with tyres and kit on.

[TJ]

Looks good, white will suit the kit and tyres really well.

Who painted it?

Ha yeh im surprised by how many ppl actually like the watanabes, i personally hate them, not really into the 'old school' silvia look, but ill sell them once my new rims are on so hopefully theyll go to someone a bit more appreciative of them :) Oh and collie was a great experience but car was playing up all day with cooler pipes popping off so didnt enjoy myself as much as i could, thus why i am keen to head back!

Phone cant send pic msgs bro :( so i didnt get that pic of ur tits last night either :(

Who painted it?

Um dude in Belmont, Otto's crash repairs or something...they had a pretty proffessional setup, and they have the contract to repair st John of Gods ambulances so they are used to painting white :P

[Skitzo]

oh thats a shame. was a good pic too.

welcome to antilag anyway. where creativity and humour is accepted. I was told 3 day temp ban, but i still cant post. I miss posting toyota FTW comments.

[Ben Wha]

Looking mint Hunter! I didn't realise drift teks came in a polished lip and coloured centers option, they look the goods :D

Only thing is, your front rims are going to hit the coilovers. When I had my meisters on my 180, the fronts were 18x9 +18 and they hit, so I put on a 5mm slip spacer and was all good. So 20mm spacers will be your best freind, just don't do a Jared and use 20mm spacers as slip ons. Wouldn't want to see this lose a wheel as well.

[Gladio]

Paint job looks good, cant wait to see some picks with the rims on, noice

[The_Hunster]

pretty happy with how it all turned out :)

[markasia]

That look sick as, very nicely finished!

[thrtytwo]

looks the goods mate, how was AHG ?

[lazy6]

looks mint!

[lambchops]

looks sweet as man! white looks really good

[Alt_F4]

Tough and very tidy, two attributes rarely used to describe s13s these days :D

[thnk_again]

yerp looks awesome and very clean! cant wait to see it at the ahg day.

[kurbn]

thats fkn horny dude, really love how kit is has a nice even height around hte car and tapers up at the back, the wheels really set it off

on another note.. the CA isnt as good as the SR but the CA isnt THAT bad!

really like to see the updated tail lights on it and clear side blinkers, Love it, really do!

[MMM]

it came out quite tidy!!! please dont drift it will ruin the kit/paint when ya bin it etc etc

[kirbo]

Nice transformation. Tasteful to boot. As above, careful with curbs & track barriers.

[The_Hunster]

Haha well your warnings came a lil late, tried to drive up the ramp at my local bottle shop yesterday and failed :( front bumper got half ripped off, but didnt get damaged really just a couple of small scrapes, and it popped by side indicator out and snapped it. Nothing too major.

Yes and when i get some coin ill be keen to invest in some 'crystal' style lighting, should tie in well with the white, also will get some dark tint. But in the immediate future car will be getting its first wash since paint, and ill paint my grill black.

[The_Hunster]

Got a few new things including new rims...ssr professor sp1's (18x9 +4, 18x9.5 +18)
still plenty of lil things to do when i cbf, but for now heres some pics.

[Deke]

this has got to be one of the best s13's iv seen perfect rims , kit , ride hight the whole package looks wise great car

[Pav]

Hot! So much better than the Drifteks.

Chuck some more negative camber on the fronts and lower more!

[Lonewolf]

yep, perfect fitment.
Chrome can look good on white.

[schwarz]

definitely the right set of rims for the car! that chunky look to it flows with the kit perfectly

[carlos spicy wener]

wahwahweewahhhh!

its like sex for my eyes. :)
good work hunter.

[The_Hunster]

Bit of an update...
so i chucked on a couple of things and went drifting.

Koyo radiator
Oil cooler and fuel filter relocation kit
Tomei Traxx 2 way diff (with motul LSD oil)
Exedy brass button 5 puck heavy duty clutch
(2) 17x9 drifteks, (2) 17x8 drifteks, (2) 17x9.5 drifteks
New grippy Nexen 215/45s on the front
Auto gauge water and oil temp gauges

Did some of this...
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z242/The_Hunster/driiifto.jpg

then a lot of this...
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z242/The_Hunster/workinonsil.jpg

which meant i could do more of this... :)
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z242/The_Hunster/drft.jpg

[Skitzo]

Did you tag some tyres with drivers side rear?

[The_Hunster]

More like a white whale (r33) tagged me, nothing over fenders cant fix though :) your front bar came up all right too aye ;)

[Skitzo]

Sure did. Cheers for persuading me to get it. Hopefully head to the pits on tuesday.

oh and looks like you could do with a stiffer sway bar. I reccomend the GTR one i have sitting in my garage.

[lysdexia]

those rims holding up ok so far?

[The_Hunster]

[Skitzo]

He still has the kit, just takes it off when he hits the track. Rims are gone though.

[kurbn]

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z242/The_Hunster/workinonsil.jpg

Disappointing to see it go from one of the rare S13's that are clean and tasteful
to the stereotype of getting fucked like every other S13 on the track

shame :(

[S133LTR]

I'll bet your disappointment haunts him while hes out on the track having a ball.

[Deke]

who cares.. cars are there to be driven or driven hard you choice. Nice car none the less.

[TJ]

So ... you fucked it good and proper.

Seems well suited to a s13, well done.

[Kimbalina]

someone hit him when he spun out down at collie :/

[TJ]

Csb

[stumps.]

Sad times - such a nice 13

[kurbn]

I'll bet your disappointment haunts him while hes out on the track having a ball.

going out on the track is fine.. but fuck.. do it in a 13 that is already tracked to death with 1000 cable ties hanging off it. But saying that you can still take a car out on the track and not treat it like crap and still have fun

[Skitzo]

DET is replacing the DE+T shitter motor. Rear over fenders (planned) and put the kit back on and it will be back to looking good.

[AGIT8D]

going out on the track is fine.. but fuck.. do it in a 13 that is already tracked to death with 1000 cable ties hanging off it. But saying that you can still take a car out on the track and not treat it like crap and still have fun

Seems to me like he was treating it well. Made sure he removed the kit before hitting the track, someone else hit him so that's no fault of his, these things happen.

As for the fire that could have happened for any number of reasons which don't directly correlate to treating the car like crap.

Those wheels really did make the car though, and it's a shame they've been sold or whatever else.

[Skitzo]

Tired DE motor developed a lot of blowby, blew out dipstick and spat oil onto the manifold.

[Quokka]

he sold the wheels cos he didnt want to drift on them and wreck them. if he was a baller then he could of kept the SSR's for the car when it sits in the garage doing nothing.. but we all arent made of money so he went the cheaper option

[Joe]

so he went the cheaper option

Being an S13 owner, I didn't doubt it :D

[TJ]

Surely the cheapest option would have been to buy a cheap bunky s13 and mod it for drift.

No one would have cared about it being ruined then

[DISTRBD]

I like to see people use what they have built :)

[mitchy]

lol, who gives a fuck? i bought a car and havent touched it in a year, couldn't care less what you pingpingpingpings think either!

kudos to doing what you want with the car. devo i didnt buy the SSR's. :(

bingo !

cant believe people are hating on him for giving it a go !

yeah he did it in a nice car, so what?
he wants to, so he can.

[Brockas]

+1

"show" car or track car.... know which one I'd prefer.

[TJ]

I dont anyone is "hating" on him for tracking it.

Its just a shame to see such a neat s13 .. not so neat anymore.

They are getting rarer to see looking that good!

[The_Hunster]

Surely the cheapest option would have been to buy a cheap bunky s13 and mod it for drift.

No one would have cared about it being ruined then

lol thats exactly what i did! It wasnt even rego'd when i bought it, and had been in a front end crash!

just to give some perspective within six months of my ownership the car went from this:
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z242/The_Hunster/P1000298.jpg

to this:
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z242/The_Hunster/s13graf.jpg

then after six months of doing what i always intended doing with the car:
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z242/The_Hunster/barbsdrift.jpg

At the end of the day it is a POS silvia. With a bit of elbow grease itll be looking good again soon, though perhaps the words 'clean' will never be used to decribe it again haha. But as has already been said track car > show car.

[kurbn]

Surely the cheapest option would have been to buy a cheap bunky s13 and mod it for drift.

yep!, even if it was a NA version he still had to buy himself another motor anyway which could of gone into a 2 thousand buk s13 NA matt black pig and tracked that and still had a nice 13 to take out on the weekends..

his car yes, but still a shame to see

bit of elbow grease? the rear quarter is caved in ffs!

show cars are gay anyway, nice street cars are a different thing. Brockas still uses his car for track days but still manages to keep it looking like a hot clean street car.

[The_Hunster]

okay so with my car currently featuring in perth street car magazine (quite sometime after the photo shoot lol) I thought I'd give a brief update on the cars status... A lot didnt happen with it for a while as I lost interest and considered selling but over time I've chipped away at the car with a lot of help from some good mates.

Car now has new sr20 redtop, turbo, cooler setup, cage, suspension arms, widebody and wheels to name a few things. There is still a lot to be done, most likely by a workshop as i'm sick of working on it and want it finished for next years drift season.

anyway everybody likes pics...

You got a headlight out!

[TJ]

Might get yellowed by some cop!

Looked good on Sat when I saw it whilst briefly sober!

[Skitzo]

I got sick of seeing it on stands and takign up my parking spot in the garage, so i fixed it. Swapped the swaybar over and fixed an issue with the lower control arms while this pingpingpingping slept.

Will be sweet once alignment is fixed up, widebody complete, wing on and washed.

[DESAM8+PANIK]

What rims are on it now?

[Skitzo]

Weds Kranze Cerberus

[180SXTCY]

looking decent again. good work mate.

[c.rusli]

looking clean again! and much better ;)

hope it stays that way for next year drift season! :p

[Buckets]

Nice S13, you don't see many this good anymore.
