New to Nico

[sleepysliders13]

Hey so technically I am not "new" to nico as I have lurked for a while and became best friends with the search button lol. But now I signed up after getting an s13 coupe a couple days ago as a present to myself for my 19th bday. So...well first pics cuz thats what everyone looks at anyways...(sorry for phone pics before anyone complains)

So after looking around for a while(mainly at hatches) I came across this one. I hadn't really looked at coupes because I hadn't liked the look of them but I confess after months of staring at 240s they grow on you. lol The guy was asking $4000 but I got him to come down to $3500 and for that price I'm pretty happy with what I got. blacktop sr20, gt28rs, aem cai, full megan 3" exhaust, tokico shocks w/ tien springs(before anyone says I am already looking at coils trying to decide between megan and PBM) and some ebay and used items. Only issues are it runs kinda rich and sometimes bogs (didn't find out until the day after I bought it that it bogs as it drove fine the 45 mins back to my house and the rest of the night giving friends rides...) and the interior needs some work and I have to patch the holes on the trunk that are currently taped up to stop from leaking as the battery is in the trunk.Interior:

So wut ya"ll think?

welcome. nice, the interior need some work but overall pretty good price.

btw put some redbull in your engine so your car wont be sleepy

thats nice but all you need now is some spacers and to fix the bumper sag

Well I had a bit of downtime tonight so I took out the MAF and it had a nice build up of carbon. no bueno... anyways I cleaned it up put it back in went for a test drive and it still runs a little rich but didn't bog on me. granted I only drove about 10 miles. Um sidenote: What is everyone elses gas mileage for their sr? I didn't calculate it out this time cuz I had a brainfart but it feels like its horrible...I am already down to a 1/4 of a tank after driving around 2 days

yeah I am already looking at buying a shell with clean black interior and a crackless dash. It's always handy to have a spare of well...everything

and no red bull for meh s13. It gets jacked up on Mtn Dew

Yeah bumper sag is on the to do list somewhere. And I don't really like the current offset of the rims. I do like the 962s but he has 17x9 rear and 17x7 front. I am looking at getting 2 more 17x9s to replace the front so I'll be running 17x9 all around. I agree with spacers though because it doesn't look flush to me either.

Oh lol I forgot to log off my friends account. He is a niconaut too but has a Z he is trying to rebuild.

My SR guzzles a full tank in 8 days, 10.6 miles a day to-n-fro work. Haven't really calculated it, but it does ok.

[sleepysliders13]

wow well I must be running pretty rich or driving too "spiritedly"(maybe a combination of the 2) because I calculate about 95-105 miles since I filled up and I am sitting just above a 1/4 of a tank left.
