Since we replaced the Bung Silvie has been belting around without missing a beat.. well unless you want to call having to tighten up turbo to manifold nuts every third day an update.... i really must get the exhaust sorted out.
Probably the biggest piece of news I have is that work on project Origin X should be starting in the next few weeks its going to be a bit of a long term project but im hoping to have the car up and running to test out some suspension setups by the end of the year but the biggest thing is to start putting the old girl back together as she at the moment is a stripped rolling shell. That how ever is the perfect base to start with as it will be mainly built for time attack but may see a few drift days and motorkarna days so the interior will be pretty basic as lets face it for a track only car you dont need all the comforts of home.
As soon as i can get down to where we are storing the shell ill take a few pictures and put them up here as this will be the place for all updates on Project Origin X (I wont be doing a build thread on Nissansilvia)
Anyway
My Lovely Mother emails me a few pictures tonight that i would thought i would share.
I also found an email from my brother Damien that had a few photos.
Now if any of you read my very first blog entry I mentioned where my love for Nissan's started.
It all started with the good old gold bluebird (My parents reckon its green :P)
in it are my Nan, Pop and my brother Damien
Now as i said in my first blog entry my Sister ended up writing off the poor old thing and we got her another one which she subsequently seized the engine (Love you Sis)
So here is a picture of the Old Red Bomb.
Im pretty sure its life ended after it was sold and turned into a bush basher.
I havent said anything about this next particular car as it wasnt mine or owned by any of my family members, but it was owned by my best mate Ryan.
Now this poor little Daihatsu copped an absolute beating it was rolled... it was jumped.. it was thrown around a paddock track like a group A Touring car and yet i do believe it still lives out at his parents farm
Yeah we were pretty young but we didnt let that stop us.
Anyway guys.
As always take care and be safe.
