As some of you know I've been driving a Micra for a few weeks now, and am somewhat enjoying its fuel economy.

Anyway, decided to take the Silvia out last night, as I'm removing some bits off of it at the weekend.

I was amazed at how fucking well this car handles. Looks like I got used to it in the past, but from walking into it after a few weeks of no use I was amazed,

First thing that shocked me was the feel of the steering and its absolutely brilliant turn in and grip round bends.

So boys and girls get ya fingers out ya arses and improve your cars ability by wacking together some coilovers with adjustable top mounts, and wack the tops in for the camber.

I'll drive it after putting standard stuff back on the front with SE lowering springs and we'll see what the difference is.

There's about 3 places to get the stuff from...
