Setting out on the long road to completing a project is a long process that many people who do get involved in this sort of work find it hard to understand. Why would someone spend all of their spare time working on a car?
The answer to that question is just taking a look at this Nissan Silvia, it might be eight years old but you would not know it to look at it.
This car is a real import from Japan, three months travelling and finally the car turns up on the drive way of James Deane, but this was just the JDM S14 Silvia chassis and so the work begins with the installation of six point cage, bride seating with UKDM TRS harness and Sparco steering wheel.
This car was being built for the track, but in European Prodrift series, which covers Ireland, the UK and other European tracks.
The car is ready and waiting for its seventeen year old owner to blast it around the track, ripping tarmac all of the way. The 2009 season awaits DeaneMsport who have spent time and money on this car; in return, they are expecting to see some substantial results, maybe even the title.
