124 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Hi everyone

Hi to everyone on the forum.
I bought Ollymark1escorts s12 silvia on the weekend. It is my first S12 and An automatic which I am hoping to convert to manual very soon as you probably understand why.
When I picked it up it had a horrible squeeky clanking sound from the exhaust that turned out to be a U-bolt rubbing on the diff and was easily fixed in 2 mins. Aside from needing a new speedo cable (at least I hope that is all) and a touch of paint it is a fairly tidy car with almost no rust. Hopefully soon I will be fitting a cooler and pushing the boost up.

Thanks guys. I wont be doing anything too silly yet as this is my daily driver and being a student I dont have a lot of cash to throw at the car. But the auto box is really doin my head. Yesterday I went to slow down and jammed my left foot on the brake thinking it was a clutch pedal, very embarrassing and everyone walking by thought it was very funny. The sooner it goes the better.
