I thought it would be a good idea to start this again after a good response to last years list.

What are you taking (hoping to take to those still building, myself included) ?? Pics pwease!



Here is my 1993 S13 180sx, currently very hollow and sorry for itself.... with its new engine (RB25DET) about 30ft over the other side of the workshop as a backup i have the mini ready fitted with an 1800 Kseries and nitrous if i have to.






And Steve W's 1991 S13 Silvia as he isnt a member of this forums. Fresh import so currently awaiting registration.

As most of you know I'm hoping to take the Metro Turbo again, and hopefully this time there will be a lot less smoke, a lot more power, and a few laps on the ring.



As it stands it has now engine in at the moment. But some of you may have heard its going to a atop class 'Custom Modification specialist' and will be getting a new engine in the shape of rovers K-series.
Engine spec is yet to be confirmed although it will be singing through some GSXR600 ITBs.
