I remember searching silvia and pretty much only finding silviagods site and dens silvia shrine......

I remember when i set up my first s12 uk forum called speed-junkies, it got hacked by some arab hacker club over and over again......

I never gave a penny to rosernburg but i do remember dr silvia waiting 2 months for an exhaust system from them and when it turned up it was crap, even the tailpipe was mild steel and rusty lol

I bought the spoiler and splitter off silvia engineering. Think the spoiler was 180 and the splitter was 175. It came with that many cracks and poor finishing it cost me as much again to have it finished off. Those were the days when I was a bit green and did'nt have a go myself. Seem to have gone full circle now! lol!

In the end a girlfriends (at the time) dad fitted it all for me and sorted it out at his garage. I had the spoiler blended in.

I then found Norris Designs. Simon Norris was a really helpful guy in the early days of his business. He rebuilt the bottom end of my current engine and sorted out some problem that had happend when silvia engineering had built it. This was when Den owned the engine. Norris Designs fitted my omex system into it aswell.

It was quite funny at the time as I had an omex 500 system fitted purely becuase the crappy garage I was dealing with close to my house couldn't get the emissions down enough to pass the mot! So off it went all the way to Wiltshire to have the omex fitted. I must admit it spooled up far quicker with the omex on.

those were the days!...............

I remember when it took 6 months for SE to send me out their first ever stainless exhaust (after 25 phone calls ).

Having to turn down the mixture to get the car through the MOT, driving round the corner and turning it back up again.

When Den`s Silvia Shrine was always updated .....lol....

And when people in Rochdale thought my s12, was some sort of Toyota .

Regards,
Ian.

Billing was f**cking brilliant, me and Shaun and a few others once put a picnic bench and as many beer bottles on it in front of a guys tent, Biggus he was called, class atmosphere friendly ,good drunken nights there ,well worth the drive down even if it was just a day drip the first few times there, Peter Rosenburg used to have guy called Dave that worked for him and he would give you free advise, if Pete heard him on the phone he would say it was his mam, LMAO,

those were the day,
