SX Appeal

I was reading an issue of HPI a while back and there's this article about a turbo install for a s14. The owner is Shannon O'Leary and she's a pretty familiar face on the Australian tuning scene. Here's pictures of her and her 'SXAPEAL'.

Many people must wonder whether the vanity plate refers to her car or herself...

Her S14 pounds the tarmac to the tune of 241 rear wheel kilowatts, and has a spec list that will put to shame many guys' rides. The trusty SR20 runs HKS 264 stage one cams, a fully forged bottom end, GTDW2833 turbo with everything controlled by the ubiquitous Power FC. Braking is uprated with R33 calipers and rotors.

Handling is paramount as she's VERY partial to B road drives and drifting, so HSD coilovers and Whiteline suspension arms (radius rod bushes, adjustable radius rods, lower control arms and rear upper control arms) allows fine-tuning of suspension geometry.

As she said "Its no longer just boys and their toys. Here come ladies and their babies!" Three other girlfriends of hers who drive Japanese performance cars as well.

As you can see, she's into everything with horsepower. All in all, she's pretty amazing, no?
