I didn’t know too much about this S15 or its owner when I stumbled across it in the pits at Meihan Sportsland last September but I knew I needed to take a closer look. The type of cars present on this particular mid-week practice day generally fell into one of two categories; either they were competition spec cars that were being tested prior to upcoming major events, or they were slightly more battered and bruised practice cars. There were a handful of super clean street cars in attendance though that were also being thrashed on track, with this Silvia being one of them.
The owner was far from the best driver on the day but he was definitely giving it his best shot. He seemed quite wary of getting intimate with the wall but, considering how clean his car was, I can understand the mental torment he must have been going through when judging how hard to chuck his prized car into Meihan’s infamous first corner.
I didn’t get any photos of the interior but it was all there, along with carbon trim panels fitted to the stock door cards. There was no roll cage or other intrusive safety gear to be found either, as all of the creature comforts had taken precedence. I can definitely relate to that.
