its a major eyesore to look at your car man.

Damn, dude, tell him how you really feel, lol. Not a fan of the rattle can look either though, but to each their own.

Exactly the reason I dont post on this car anymore. But I guess I get what I had comin.

I got the same s*** when the car still had the KA, then I put in the RB and evryone was like OMG your car is sooo sweet.

People are stupid.

I dont see the S13's gettin flamed like this...

Figure ill just post the car when its all said and done.

Not pretty, bud I like your aspirations. When you're done it'll be HOT! I do think you should skip the SE wheels though and get what you really want. Maybe a set of Z32 wheels?

I like the white rims,I might be blind but don't see nothing wrong with the car or am i missing something..plus it's still work in progress so i don't see why all the hate...and also go with what mygreeneyes says..

OP. not saying your cars bad. im sure it runs great, and its fast and a work in progress. im not hating at all, just saying the exteiror doesn't add up IMO to the rest of the car.i read where you have alot of parts comming, Navan areo and finishing up the 5lug swap.i just commented on the way it sits now.please, dont take my comment to heart. its your car.

you got a build thread on here?

I wouldn't worry about what other people say, remember Internetz iz serious businessLoL.

Personally I like it, I was gonna do a build thread about my S13, I finally got my silvia front end parts collected and I have a crashed 05 GTO I picked up for $5k that im using as a donor for my S13, but too many people are more into being low, flush wheels and over fenders, im keeping my car the OEM gold with the OEM silvia front and a decent set of wheels, I know I'll get flammed by ricers because im not slammed, not 5 lug, don't have 18" wheels or over fenders and why are you putting a chevy motor in your car? sorry for the rambling, I like your car, too bad you live in CO, I have a black zenki S14 bumper in the back yard I coulda let ya have.

Anyways, keep doing what you want with your car, cause as soon as you start listening to people on what to do with your car, it gonna be riced just like theirs.

how did i take it out of context. nothing gives you the right to say those things about someone else's car.

if you dont like someones car, just dont post about it, or do it in a constructive manner not "your car is an eyesore"

holy s*** finken... didn't realize you were on here

just a slight bit on info for you guys tho... his car isn't rattle canned... he used the same paint that is on my truck but as opposed to doing it in a professional booth like mine he did it himself at home... keep in mind this type of paint doesn't necessarily look good in pics... it a good paint for sure so i bet it looks better in person

i haven't seen it since it was primered so i can't tell you for sure how it looks now... but with a new bumper it should be sweet

When you put your Navan front and sides on it will look nice. Looks like a fun car man you should post some updated shots of the bay =)Are you planning to go lower or is that the height it will stay? Just curious. That is a lot more snow than VA usually sees.

I plan on getting coilovers after I get the Navan conversion done and the Hanabis on, going to go pretty low with it.

Pezi, thanks for the input bud.

Best engine pic I got, and even this ones old. the bay is filthy...

car looks good all one color. big deal if its not shiny paint, or if the wheels dont match, or if it sits a little high. the people talkin s*** probably dont have an rb or even a motor that could hang with yours. its so funny you posted a thread about your car being one color and ppl come in abd start pickin out every other thing
