Aftter a few years and some bucks..



good power for 0.9bar

Now the work starts......

Nice graph mike. Bly om te sien jy tackle hom weer.

Wanted to change quite a few things on the car.Started with the intercooler.


geting the piping correct.
Wanted it to go from 57mm before Ic to 63mm to the intake to try and get airspeed up.
old cooler was nearly twice as big with piping going from 50-76mm

got the piping powdercoated-matt ferro black

Ic fitted with new piping and T-bolt clamps

Fitted 19 row oil cooler with filter relocation kit also.

Trying a filter combination

Loosening the stock ones.

Installing beefier and adjustable control arms.

changed wheelstuds to longer ones for 20mm spacers.

lyk Goed !

Daai een controll arm luk na n bout en moere missing !

I'd still love to go for a passenger ride in this! I'm just worried it would make me hate mine 😳

Definitely one of my favorite S13's 8)

Lekker Mike...lyk goed!!

got the calipers bead blasted and mil spec Aerofin undercoated.Need to spray and recon with new seal kits next.

Nice! Make them HKS pink 😉
