Saxon's Blue Spec R

[Saxon]

As I’m sure you’re all aware it’s been snowing. Snow never usually makes it this far south so I got some obligatory snow pictures!

Have my new rear bumper courtesy of peglio on the car in that photo too. Awesome job as usual and you can’t even tell the difference in paint colour!

Also, the new wheels are completely done. Just awaiting tyres which I was booked in for tomorrow but the weather has changed that....

Thanks! I can’t wait to finally see them on the car. 17x9 with low offsets all round (GTR fitment) so should fit pretty nicely!

They'll look awesome bud!

Agreed they will look great!

I personally prefer the OEM ones

Got tyres on the new wheels yesterday so could give one side a quick test fit. Just needs lowering a tiny bit and it’ll be spot on in my opinion! Going to need the rear arches rolling though.

A few photos I got recently in the nice weather with the new wheels and finally the right sized front plate. Not in those photos, but I also fitted Nismo smoked side indicators.

Might lower the front just a tiny little bit..

Today I found out the culprit of my boost leak. I present to you the finest, most factory fresh intercooler you’ve ever seen in your life:

I know what you’re thinking, but yes this really has been on the car. It’s hard to tell with it being so mint.




On a serious note, I can’t believe how scabby it was. Bottom half completely full of mud and half of one side split open. I can thank the previous owner for the mud since they were the one who removed the arch liners.

Replaced it with a nice clean OEM one courtesy of Lewis - drives like a new car now!

If you’d have owned an S14/a the above post is absolutely no surprise, WMIC ‘s are **** and will always be ****.

So basically you’ve been driving around in an SR20DE with an 8.5:1 comp ratio :lol: surprised it even drove

Haha you’d be surprised, it did still get up to the normal boost for a stock engine, just took longer to build up. More than anything it just ran super rich. Nice to be able to dip the clutch or go into neutral without it nearly stalling now! Think I’ll do a quick oil change on it soon, I don’t know how much fuel is mixed with the oil - better to be safe than sorry.
