Gotta get this going....
Hi all,
Another new member who was too busy/lazy to say hi straight away! Truth is, I'm still not sure how to post pics on here so delayed saying hi till I sorted it - but that's not happened so I could be waiting years!! My Uncle heard I was looking for a rear wheel drive car for the DWYB days at Santa Pod - having been dragging Fiat Pandas for a bit I thought it might be fun! What I wasn't expecting was for him to say "have my Silvia...." Now my Uncle is in his 70s, and parked the car up around 7 years ago as it was becoming unreliable - the main reason being that he's got it tuned to around the 360 BHP mark! There are quite a few mods on it that he can remember (and it would appear a few that he can't!). It's got forged pistons, a DTA ECU, bigger turbo, 16V head (I think!), lowered, big brake conversion etc. As I said, it hasn't moved for a number of years, so will need a fair bit of work getting it back on the road. Unsurprisingly the battery has died, so I'll need to replace that before even thinking about firing it up (after an oil change!). It's got a bit of rot under the rear spoiler, so that'll have to go, and we've also stripped the interior out checking for any rust problems - but to be honest, it's looking VERY sound. Anyway, I hope to get some pics on here when I can, and I apologise for any stupid questions that I may have to ask. I have found this site useful already - downloading the manual was a god send just to get the trim ot of the interior! Cheers Austen

My Uncle is Ted Gunn
If you've ever driven from Chelmsford to Writtle in the last five years then you would have seen the car - red Silvia, on the left hand side just before the traffic lights. If you've ever met Ted you'd remember him - one hell of a driver! Knows the Snetterton circuit like the back of his hand! Cheers Austen

yep i know the one! it went past me once when i owned an old colt turbo back in 99 and i was flat out, cut past me like a dream.
the nob who i bought my silvia from has been buttering that geezer up on the off chance he will sell that red silvia. this news has given me alot of satisfaction, as i reckon my mate is a bit of a selfish prick. i dislike human emotions! i always meant to pop by and say hello in my silvia but never got the chance. send the pics! use this to upload the pics: http://imageshack.us/ Last edited by londonsilvia; 27-06-2010 at 10:20.
