Duuuude, loving the s14 and the s13 as well man.

I'm new to the site and also from Antigua (islandsilvia, you should know who this is by now lol)

I've been wanting to buy an s13 for awhile now, just waiting until my current ride gets sold.

This is my boy Nick here. He wants to get a 180SX and alot of people here have been telling him that the 180SX and Silvia's are crap. And this is coming from people who have never even owned a Nissan to begin with. So he wants some feedback about the cars.

Anyone care to go first????

Depends on what you want. Cause I had mine at the time was the 2nd running one on the road. Then the other one got into an accident and the dude who bought mine spun a bearing and it's like he is never fixing it. Do you want it to buy? If you are coming up let me know. And also if you need a redtop ecu I got one here.

well the one I just won from ebay is a 12cm rear housing with a 7 blade. Is that a good one???? Cause I am now hearing that the 7 and 8 blade is different. I am planning on putting a T3 .63 rear housing on it if it takes long to spool.

I am also getting some HKS Hipermax III coilovers from a friend. He just has them there sitting.
