Fair enough, I just remember how easy it was to spin a go kart

Think you forgot something? Love the rims, always had a soft spot for the design right back to my youth.

sunday saw a mate arrive in his s13, equipped with some tasty bars didnt get any pics of that but arches are now rolled and the alloys fit! no rubbing

so test drive time

all going well was just crawling to shell about a mile away got some finest quality fuel and away we went,made it 1/2mile before both temp gauges started to rise! so 1 mile 10L of water and 1hr and half later saw me back on my drive :D i figured massive airlock as heaters were cold,turns out your ment to fill via the top hose and run it to temp with the bleed screw open, i didnt even seen the sodding bleed screw lmao

so all done holding temp lets go! pulled out of my road sideways so good start,tried to keep it straight for the journey :shock: but goes well maybe not as quick as i was hoping :cry: although still quicker than every other car i ran into :p but it sounds BRUTAL pops and bangs the entire time your off throttle and when your on throttle well hehehehe

i would say its as quick as a stage 2 octavia if not quicker,but least i have to do abit more than just plant the throttle in this :D

40 miles to 20quids worth of vpower sums up the trip nicely i think :D oh and the near side indicator fell of somewhere lol

even time for some lifestyling shots with the s13
