Latest upgrade on Hiper DCM Silvia

Just collected the car from Garage R last week after sitting in Singapore for almost 3 months! Did some major upgrades to the car which include a HKS GT2835R turbocharger, new fuel system, and a lot of cosmetic work. Think I could showcase the engine bay at an autoshow next time. Hahaha.

Anyway, the new setup is expected to produce 440whp at 1.7bar of boost, and for day-to-day running and practise, Lester has added a map selector for it to run at a lower boost to preserve the transmission.

For full specifications of the car, it can be viewed at the DCM Garage:

Thanks to HKS Garage R Singapore for the sponsorship and neat work.

Star Drift Challenge Road Show @ Prima Saujana

Star Drift Challenge Road Show was held in conjunction with Carnival Prima Saujana 2008 and KW Autoshow in Dataran Prima Saujana Kajang. After 2 weeks of preparing the car, we're finally be able to make our first appearance as planned, showcasing both the S13 and the R32. The Dunlop 'chequered' decals are courtesy of Tom's Stickers.

We were given 225/45/17 Direzza DZ101 for testing. First impression is that the tyres are very smoky! We're also trying different tyre pressure to see how the grip and wear is. Despite running very high tyre pressure for the ultimate smoking effect, the tyres don't chunk, which is very impressive.
