Hey guys,
Thought its best i put up a post as i've been browsing a while and using your guides
I'm Neil, 24 and from north Nottingham. I've wanted an S15 for a while as i go to a lot of Jap meets. My last car was a facelift Celica TSport (Gen 7 new shape) which had a lot of money spent on it after it went on a Dyno and came out with 177hp with Mods from a '190'. It reached 176@hubs so approx. 197-206@fly with a good list of N/A Mods, then December last year the back end came out in which i ended up hitting 5 trees and 2 sets of sign posts using the latter set as ramps to do a mid-air 180. I was absolutely gutted.
I had over 2 months scratching walls whilst i looked for its replacement, i started with the idea of an S15 then thought of everything else Jap, ITR, CTR, ATR, R32GTR etc and was seriously looking for an S14a. Luckily i couldn't find 1 i was willing to buy as i'm quite fussy about my cars so came back to the idea of an S15.
I ended up buying an S15 off this forum! His username i believe is JustTheJedi and is a sound guy. The car is a Pewter grey Spec-R but it came with a few things that need changing.
Plans:
Its had most of the undersealing done i've just got to find time to get the arches done
Stock boost gauge had a faulty sender unit so i replaced it with a new gauge
Kenwood 7" DVD player
Coilovers to get it sat right though theres a slope coming onto my drive (Celica was -30mm)
18's but not decided as theres way too much choice lol
Downpipe, De-cat, cat back
Wastegate flutter either pigeon or a re-circ valve
Respray as its peppered with chips
HEL braided hoses have been fitted as a mate got them for free becoming an authorised dealer i believe.
Hicas is strange so want to lock it out for summer and back on in winter! Turning circle is great but it just interfears too much for my likeing and stops you having fun.
Anyway, great forum you have and thanks for the guides
Hopefully i'll bump into a few of you at some meets, Pod being a good favourite, and have a drool over your cars
