My New DD (for now :P)

[nissanman04]

I had gotten tired of driving my auto-x car around every day with all its rattles, stiff springs, exhaust leak, rust, no A/C, and miscellaneous other issues that it has. I wanted to get something newer like a WRX, but with my current job situation I can't afford to take out a loan. I watched craigslist for a couple weeks for something in nice shape for $2k or less. My criteria were: A/C, radio, and 25+ mpg. I wasn't even looking to pick up another S13, but I stumbled upon this about 2 hours away:



It's a 1990 with only 90,000 miles, no rust (not even on around the spoiler mounting holes!), original unfaded paint, super clean interior, power windows/locks, no sunroof, bone stock. The only issues are that it is an automatic (I can fix that ) and it has a scuff on the front passenger side bumper/lip from a bad parking job. I got 30mpg on the drive back with the A/C on the whole time...not bad for a 20 year-old SOHC.

It was on the road by Friday, and I cleaned it up a little today with some clay bar and wax. The paint looks kind of faded in the pictures, but it's just my camera. It's still a very bright red.









When (if) I come back to NY at the end of the summer, I want to swap my DOHC and 5-speed transmission into this one, along with most of the suspension parts. I'll probably hold off on swapping the turbo parts over because I really don't want to hack up such a clean chassis for the intercooler piping. I'm even a little hesitant about having to pull the fenders in order to fit my current wheel setup. I'm not used to having nice paint that can get screwed up .

man thats a nice example of an S13, very good find considering where you got it. But lets face is you already going to do stuff to it, and then it keeps going in mods.... it never ends
