Silvias of Singapore

This was taken a few months back at Kallang. Due to the fact that Singapore doesn't allow for the importing of used cars older than 3 years old, the population of Silvias in Singapore is declining with exporting and accidents taking their toll gradually.

Having said that, we still have a very active group of core members and our forum is a lively place. Click here to visit our forum.

With prices of cars being one of the most expensive in the world (a 2nd hand 5 year old S15 cost S$50-60k and when brand new, a S15 goes for S$120-130k in the showrooms!!!), most of us use our S15 as daily drivers. To me, that just means more time to enjoy driving this modern classic.

I recalled once when I was out car shopping with a friend who's looking to buy a 2nd hand BMW. The sales guy asked me what I am driving and I said a Nissan. He said that he'll give me a good price if I am looking to upgrade my car to a BMW as well.

I said "Sure, show me a rear wheel drive, turbocharged coupe with 400 bhp AND a sub 1300 kg kerb weight, I'll be really keen." :)

The club has our fair share of drifters, with a few of them having participated in D1GP in Malaysia as well as the first Formula Drift held outside of USA in Singapore last year. As for the rest of us, there are also track junkies, show&shine specialists etc. Expect a slew of Silvia features soon.
