Project Jinx

Hey guys,
In September I sold my S14a when I moved to Huddersfield as RWD wasn't my cup of tea. So with the money and the pay rise I had a choice between another Evo (a VI this time),or buying my dream car.
So I thought sod it and go for the dream car. So I contacted a well known importer and told them my budget and what I Wanted and we were on the hunt. A few weeks later we bid and i won one so i had to wait until January for it to arrive (long wait I tell thee).

So January comes and it arrived, so my dad and I went to the docks to see it being collected to go to a well known specialist to be prepped and gone over with a fine tooth comb.
So I got to the docks and saw it sat in a yard and excitement set in!!!!!
That was shortlived as I got closer to the car it was a complete dog (so much so my dad had to convince me not to leave it there).








So whilst at RK tuning it was decided to repaint the car to make it look tidy again, however i opted to pay the extra few pennies (well hundreds) and have it painted LP2......Nissan Midnight Purple 1.
So after many trips to Sweden to pay the bodywork bills it also had some mechanical work:
3 new CV boots,
1 rear bottom arm,
HICAS delete kit,
New clutch (OS Giken twin plate now),
4 new tyres.

So last Friday came and it was time to collect it from RK tuning:
So the specs:
Lots of miles lol,
Stock engine,
Mines ECU,
Coilovers,
Nismo Front and Rear braces,
Ancient AVC-R.
Work 17x10 alloys

Here it is hiding and being valeted when I arrived:


When I got it home:









Love this colour!!!!!
