Well, we got my car running the day before yesterday with a temp T25 harvested from a junked 200SX. Runs just as strong as before, and it feels nice being back in my car again. Pulsar was fun to drive, but RHD blows in a LHD country.

Heres a couple photos taken yesterday morning on a backroad I have to take to my house (for a shortcut)

Yea, I have that in black and white as my desktop at home.

Here in Germany, I work 6pm to 6am, so I get treated to that sunrise every morning. Its a nice thing to have when you have a job that you hate =)

Oh man... those roads are so narrow. Even if I didnt hate drifting, I wouldnt try it on those, as any time oncomming traffic comes, one of us has to pull off the road, its that narrow.

Nothing crazy, since it is my daily driver and reliability is key. Right now, so far what I've done is:

-Spray it white (was black), due to rust on the body and I'd fail a German inspection.

-Kei Office GU Coilovers

-BRM Catback

-Blitz DD Bov (due to CA's not comming w/a recirc)

Other than the above, I dont think too much more will come, as I have to save up to rebuild my Lightning's motor and my SR20 back in the states. I have an RB26DETT, harvested from my friends smashed up R32, in my garage, but I'll be damned if I go through all the work to put it in, only to not be able to take the car back with me to the states.

Thanks, and will do =) I have plenty of opportunities to do so, and I'll probably have alot of them on the 30th as were all trucking out to an event at Bitburg.

Nice ride, good to see that you score a euro hatch while stationed in Deutschland...I thought about doing the same when I was stationed there. Check mi sig if you need tips on storage, I had my car 3 years snoozing awaiting for my return from Germany.

Ah, I'm in the USAF, working as a network technition here. The basics of my job are monitoring and troubleshooting the USAFE (United States Air Force, Europe) network. This means I'm responsible to watching every single base here (from Aviano to Keflavik) and making sure they dont drop from our net. Upon dropping, I initiate the phone calls needed to the site techs and run diagnostics here from Ramstein to try to assist them in their troubleshooting endeavors.

I was actually going to do something similiar to that with my HS13 back in the states, but my father talked me into leaving the vehicle with him.

lol, my pops hates imports sadly =/ He drives a 2nd gen Lightning which he loves to death. Our front yard looks pretty nice I'd say right now with a SR powered S13, my 1st gen Lightning (used to tow my S13 to events), and my pops 2nd gen Lightning.

Sure, I'll send you the uncompressed images, but I gotta dig em up at home, so it'll take a while. Check out for them tomorrow some time =)
