This was my first SA Torque Breakfast run and it was really great fun. Left Paarl at 6am and hit the N1 to Dunkin doughnuts hard. Was really lekker only thing I missed was having an electronic boost control as my buddy was on it with his s2000 lol. Really lekker car with an Invidia exhaust system. We hit the road well in the 200kph. Didn't drive the car that hard that long. I was very impressed once we stopped everything was solid and not one slight sign of overheating.

We drove from Dunkin Dougnuts on the N1 to the CBD and up the M3 all the way to Constantia Neck to a restaurant named La Parada. Really awesome place with nice food and a good selection of craft beers.

Worth the drive if you in the Cape Town area guys. Small twisty turns and nice drive.

We sent them both to APS for a quick service and the s2000 did a clutch upgrade.

Back to the mountains for some fun before hitting track day. Or slight testing was the actual term. Until my buddy decided its time to take some pics of the cars.

I bought this car back in 2012 and slowly started fixing it while I was a student.
This car thought me a few things. One is that not everything comes when you want it and second to be patient. To this day I always think of how it use to just stand here with no engine and bruised paint. Since then I only drove this car for 11 000km in 7 years. Each time I drive it is just pleasure(yeah here and there I had to be a bit more careful or stressed out because of the hight) even that was fun lol.

After keeping it OEM plus for many years it was time for some slight changes but not drastic. Also, time to fix that window that stopped working.

A really fun day taking the cars out on some backroads in Paarl. For my really nice roads and hardly any cars on a Saturday afternoon.

Later that night we decided to take a drive through town and came across a cool location and took some nice pics. December nights in 2019

So that explained my slight panic driving back from a quick trip to Cape Gate side to get some Nandos haha. We limped home slowly but surely. Now its time to replace and fix.
I am super lucky to always have my dad on my side not only when it comes to the car and life choices but also as my car buddy who is always there when something small or big is wrong...his words are always "right park die kar. Ons maak more reg!" I remember racing a friend one night and I decided to pull out the vacuum pipe 😁 I was sure i killed something in the motor or banged the turbo...I came home at 3 am. I didn't even stop yet and he was outside with a cigarette laughing and said to me "Ja, lekker kak an gevang ne. Ons sal more kyk" Turned out i just burnt a plug.

Got these parts and a few other about mid 2019 and until this day i never made time to fit any of the stuff. I really want to get a gt2871 or 76r but got this turbo only to find out that i really want a gt28 more :facepalm:

Finally, I order the window motor. I checked many options and many sites to find the right window motor but there was always a problem and just decided to go OEM and get the part that is original. Yeah might be a bit of a stiff price but I know it will fit 100% and i can send it back if it's not the correct fitment or anything. Was a relief to turn down the window and hit the drive through again 8)

After many different options and long searching. I decided to go with this wheel and color. The reasons was simple it looks good and has always been a nice fit on the s14. I might change it in the near future but for now, I am loving the look with the soft blue color. Nothing too hectic or so. [smilie=200sx_2guns.gif]
