What's up guys! It's been a while since I posted on Nico... I had to sell my PC and later decided to sell my s13. However, I now have a s14... I bought it off some older guy who used it as a DD. It was 100% stock and in pretty good condition. One of the bad things about the car is the fact that the paint is in pretty rough condition. Also it's a base model and an automatic....But! It will be a 5speed soon! I'm gathering all the parts first, just need a few things more. And now, some pics....I like the bike rack look... My buddys s13, currently not runningClean interior. And just in case you were wondering, those are furry handcuffs hanging off my rear view mirror Did a full tune up, cleaned up the engine bay and painted the valve cover.

Bike racks are the chit. I want one bad. The trend came from the guys that go to alot of BIG car meets. There'd be alot of ground to cover so they'd load up their BMX's and roll around looking at dope cars on their two wheelers. Kind of a Cali thing. Most of Fatlace/HellaFlushes video's are shoot from the back of a bicycle, I think. Kinda cool.

Oh for sure! Its for those ppl who don't wanna do alot of walking when they get to a meet, i suppose. But yeah, some ppl have them just to have them. I used to look at them kinda weird too, but they grew on me after a while too.

Racks often come in handy. Like when you wanna take some extra tires to the track or when your moveing.... They also provide a nice sleeper type look.

I never thought of that! Use the rack as as easy way to transport wheels & tires! Awesome! I want one even more now.

I think bike racks for looks are retarded. If you're not going to use it you should take it off.

If you had a hatch/lift back you could do this:

But a rack could come in handy

^I had a s13 hatch before. The extra room was nice. But I'm much happier with the s14...

Yes! That sounds like a great idea. Getting rid of 15lbs might give me like 10hp....lol
