finally getting my car back 2moro after a long wait but im sure it was all worth it...

Ummm many guys go to westbank... My car is also coming back soon, westbank is way to far out of my way, so I'll find a another place to practice, think I found a HUGE abandon parking lot in PTA, where the steel factory workers use to park, I want to go investigate even further check if we cant use it...

Then I found a couple of circles in the industrial areas near me, big enough so that an 18wheeler can turn around, I might just use that for my initial figure 8's and so...

I have moved to cape from jhb and i drive an s14. finding info on track days and drift buddies in this place......OMFG it easier to find a 25yo super model virgin that just wants you only for your body and is willing to splash a ton of cash on your car!

Is that your sx in your avatar? What color izzit?

vveecee11 Jan 2008, 22:37

definitely must be yellow...

no wait... midnight silver???

i've heard of people talking about "ma-roon" but i have no idea what that is.

also "ma-uve" - apparently its a colour!

probably as much "autumn-avocado-litchipip" is.

Truth is no! This picture viewed here is the much scarce 270R.

Mine is more humble! (still stock). Been looking at importing the kits, lsd and other parts for a while and i just cant stand the tax BS!

I have found some awesome stuff at great prices and the shipping and tax basically double the cost. I.e. a vented carbon bonnet from seibon R6500.00. With shipping and tax almost R13k which is still not bad but what is the tax for?

I have a Burgandy s14 silvia and she makes passengers sweat! having owned this car and driven a few others leaves the question "why do ALL other manufacturers of cars stick to the designing of chassis that are prone to under steer at the limit?" The sx are able to switch from over to under back to over steer in one corner with a few control changes. Plus its the only car i have ever driven where i have successfully achieved this without crapping my pants ! or working like a hamster behind the wheel!

but seriously i need to hook up with some chinas in cape town!!! I am jealous of you guys in jhb, Those spy picts of the rock look awesome!

omg:shock: I have typing dihorea! somebody stop me!!!!

Where bouts in Cape Town are u?

SSlide 'em Wide21 Jan 2008, 14:27

Orajezight Gardens. Ill pretty much go to where ever Broo! (brothers in sx!)

My GF might be getting a wht s13. Driving it later.

I have some really good ideas around getting something drift competition related off the ground! We all need this. (i think) so any time any where 😉

AA|fy21 Jan 2008, 18:51

Cool! Well, I am in Fish Hoek, if u no where that is.

SSlide 'em Wide21 Jan 2008, 19:55

Yeah 8)

So when you wanna hook up?

I am struggling to find decent tuning places and shops that have something more than a sticker for my baby!

The standard answer i hear from most places here is "if it works on a golf its good for your car too"

SO NOT!!!

AA|fy23 Jan 2008, 07:28

lol.

There aren't that many places available dude. I was out the other day with my mate, we went to a few, al rip-off merchants and sh!t quality stuff.

Although we did find one place that has a bit of potential but again way over priced. He stocked momo, HKS, Greddy etc... but I mean compare his prices to autostyle an it is like chalk and cheese. He wanted R1900 for a set of atomic momo pedals - autostyle has them for R550.

But let me no when u wanna hook up dude, I am free up until Feb pretty much. So we can make a plan. 🙂
