Hey all,

Just wanted 2 share my good news with u.

My car is featured in the latest HPI mag (should be on sale by the end of the week) as a 5 page article! (Pages 78 - 82)

I am so stoked about this as this is my fav mag ever & i have been buying it 4 years now & it's like a dream come true 2 have my own car in there.

Even more exciting is i can't think of the last time if ever they featured a girls car in a story so even more of an achievement.

Only let down is the photo shoot was done months ago now before my new interior & custom fusion boot install was put in.

Anyways hopefully u can all check it out & let me now what u think?

Cudos !! It's a great feeling ( I know ) but a word of advice from someone who's been there, now that everyone ( that includes the *##holes ) knows your car and what's in it, it becomes even more of a target for theft so be extra carefull.

whats so special about ur car?

i do appologise i only saw this now...

i'm not really sure what u mean by this? are u wanting me 2 tell u what i like about my car or do u think it is 'not worthy' 2 be in there?

well i guess u can't please everyone but these pics were also without my new interior & stereo/boot install (see sig below) - next week when i will have my car back with new engine & gearbox i wil be sure 2 post some new pics up - even the harshest critic will be sure 2 give respect when it's due - will be a full blown race car that can still be driven on the street - not too bad 4 a car that has a stack of performance & looks okay too - oh yeah & is owned & driven only by a female - that's what i like about it anyways....

btw please feel free 2 post pics up of ur car, i alway find that ppl who make comments like these either 1. do not own a car or 2. have a car that doesn't even compare 2 the cars they seem 2 so easily bag out...

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
