tell him nothing lads! the last thing i need you to do is tell him how to make it faster... please!!!

Seems to be a trend this Silvia thing. I am thinking that there is going to be at least 4, maybe 5 S13's running around at the next Autosports trackday.

GIDDYUP BOSTON!!!

Thought I would give an update on the 180 :D

Have been really busy driving Hilux's and teaching people to drive, but I have bought all of the roll cage material.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks the full welded in cage will be done. I don't care how fast the car is, safety is one of the most important things for me :D

Doing cross bracing throughout the whole car, diagonals across the roof etc etc will be done so the car can be used in a variety of motorsport events throughout the country :D

Welcome to the world of Silvia's!

Is it a cams approved cage? Good example to set as a first mod...

Re brakes, if retaining the 4 stud then either as Dave said or GTR calipers with redrilled rotors up front and standard rears.

Good luck and keep the post updated!

HAHA it is still a budget build...after being in this game for a long time, I have a few contacts 8)

For sure the cage will be CAMS approved. I plan on using this car for everything including Trackdays, Skidpans, Circuit Racing, Buller, Targa and Targa Wrest :D

Probably going to put 6 spots on the front now :wink:

Are you going to get a fibreglass/CF hatch? If so, let us know where you find one
