My Daily Dmax S15

So i finally did it and got one. Long train journey up to wales yesterday but well worth it as the drive back was awesome. Have alot of plans for it such as touching up the bodywork including new front bumper and refurb the wheels. Luckly any of the damage it has is only on the fibreglass parts and the shell underneath is near perfect considering its a 13year old car now. I brought it with the possiblity of drifting it next year but for the meantime im just seeing how it goes and touching things up.

Currently running about 325bhp

These were taken the day i picked it up.

Done a few things since then such as putting the centre console in and orginal handbrake and about to move the hydro up next to the wheel, removed the windsreen stickers and a few others and added some of my own to the back, fitted my stereo, added some 6mm bolts with red washers to the wings in the bay and along the slam panel and also booked the wheels in to be refurbed and sprayed. Oh yeah and some rivets to any of the loose body work.

deffo needs to bodywork sorting

think this is tooleys mates old car???

will you be venturing up to pod then?

 

[craig8585]

Yeah, that's Richy's old car. If you plan to drift it, personally I wouldn't bother doing the bodywork as it'll just look like that again in a few months!

 

[Jay]

the used and abused look! im guessing no undertray there then?

 

[EMAGDNIM]

That overfender has seen better days...

I'm a fan of the DMAX type III kit

 

[AllanOrr]

This was gorgeous a good few months ago

Makes me slightly glad I didnt spend £3500 on the Top Secret body kit now :wack:

Enjoy the sideways action

 

[ali619]

looks like such a drift slag, i love it

 

[pegliobaglio]

Nice car dude, look forward to seeing it cleaned up a little bit, wouldn't take much to make it look mint again

 

[jib136]

even though i skid my car i still try to keep it in decent condition though.

im not 100% on the used and abused look. but then on the other hand i wouldnt be so nervious about pushing my car haha

 

[spoonman]

drift pig aye, just buy heaps of cable ties

 

[minty]

Sorted some of the paint work today, will get some pics up soon

Yeah its Richys OLD car lol its defo going to have a make over though.

Yeah no undertray on atm but will fit it soon

 

[LuPix_S15]

What's with the undertray thing??

I chucked mine long ago as I really can't be bothered to take it off and put back on a million times lol :wack:


Nice car man... I remember meeting Richy many moons ago at Pod well before the car had steroid injections!!

It does make a difference to cooling efficiency. Someone on here did an experiment on it a while ago and found that it was a noticeable difference having the tray fitted.

 

[minty]

a good differance or bad?

 

[meddler]

It made temperatures drop with the standard undertray fitted and they dropped even further with aftermarket undertray. I'll see if I can find it.

i believe that was mrpham you fellow OZy brother, he was quiet the innovator come to think of it,his build thread has some good reading i used it for his write up of the AU falcon twin fan setup

 

[spoonman]

just found it, page 9 is what you are looking for, come to think of it he has a hell of alot of useful little "how to do stuff to your car guides" would make a good sticky

[meddler]

Thanks mate, your right, I will have to sticky that info. This is the second time someone has asked me for it in a short period of time.

 

[LuPix_S15]

Fair enough I forgot about the cooling/airflow advantage!
