Third time lucky?

After a little over two years of ownership and a lot of fun, I will soon be moving on to another car. The title of the blog will still be totally appropriate, but will now refer to this amazing car!




That's right, I will soon be the proud owner of my third S13 Silvia. I just can't seem to look past their "bang for your buck", rewarding yet challenging drive, and simplicity.

Here's a short list of things I wanted to improve on the old car:

Larger brakes, Re-Paint, Improve Suspension, Remove Sunroof, Install Temp Gauges, Engine work, the list goes on...

And this is the main reason for my upgrade. On the new S13, all of the above has already been taken care of! It would cost (in time and money) significantly more to get my current S13 to the same stage, and so it seemed a no brainer to purchase a car that was already so close to how I wanted mine to be.

The previous owner of the car was involved with a group called the Southern Sporting Car Club (SSCC). The group has track days once a month, and they're slightly more organised/competitive than the private track days i've been attending for the last two years. A good next step as I see it.

I will be attending as many SSCC events as possible in 2010, and hope to continue to improve my skills behind the wheel. I really can't wait to get this car out on the circuit.

I'll discuss the car in more detail later on.
