hehee... shure hope so....... um the reason for the upgrade was this one was goin quite cheap, hope for not the wrong reasons and she seems to have most of my options but in an s2 so triptronic and all the other bits. it sad but good there gettin cheaper. sucks cos i wont be gettin f all for my s1 but good cos the new one is only gona cost a bit more than my s 1 did 1.5 years ago. wat do you reckon a s1 in good condition is worth fully optioned with minor mod. might have to sell it back to the yard from whence she came but i got 6 weeks to try and sell her as my newbie is still in japan

neo and triptronic was the main reason. was just about to pour a few more grand into my s1 and one of them was to lower her and the s2 looks way low, the other was to get my nismo kit fitted and painted so i figgure the money i save can justify the upgrade..... my gf aint to happy though but she seems to nice to say no

you've done well - it looks damn nice!! :laugh:

good luck with the sale, and with the new car :)

Does it feel any different to drive? It looks like it has modified (lowered) suspension so I guess you cant really do a fair s1 to s2 comparison. :)

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
