I bought this S15 on the 25th of April 2008 after my last car had been written off in the first week in March by an uninsured driver.

Since I've got it I've replaced the tail lights, side repeaters, head unit, all exterior bulbs & the tires. I've also bought an adjustable Whiteline Anti Roll Bar, Nismo Suspension Link bushes and a big brake upgrade; larger Nissan calipers which I got painted, EBC Ultimax Discs and Yellostuff pads. I also got APP S.S. brake lines & dot 5.1 brake fluid (see page 4 for full spec)

It's a spec S with a full Trial bodykit, Bronze Nismo alloys & an Apexi cat-back exhaust system  (very loud!!!) It also has an Apexi radiator, HKS Hipermax Pro Coilovers (very low) and a HKS induction kit. I've replaced the tires with the best Hankook have to offer: Ventus 215/45r17 V12's in the front and 235/45r17 S1's at the rear.

Here's some recent pics to keep you up to date :) there's some more on page 5

I was asked to put my car up on a stand for the weekends drifting action at Punchestown. Round 2 of the Irish championship was held on the Saturday and The European Prodrift Super Series was on on the Sunday. See page 9 for more pics.
