the different stages of s13's involved in my life <3

bought my first 240, crappy body + automatic + messed up suspension =



fixed most of the problems, put k sport coilovers (dont buy them they leak!)did a 5 spd conversion, ghetto paint job, rims and some other stuff





car was giving me problems, leaking coilovers, and 3 out of the 4 bolts from the headers were stripped onto the motor..then on a humid friday night..







some dumbass in a suv ran a stop sign, i ended up colliding into his left rear bumper, he ended up driving away and i was stuck of course..no collision coverage

had the car towed to wings performance, luckily the owner had a s13 for sale, car originally came from texas, no rust..just a lot of sun burns on the paint lol



after giving it some tlc, putting the pieces together, taking things out from my old s13 and swapping them, and of course covering up the dents...

That silver hatch was pretty clean but I like the attitude this new one has. Is that a real band-aid or a sticker?? **** is hilarious. I need about 50 of those for mine. The car looks good!

Why do I see so many "2 in the pink" stickers on 240s??

I saw you wreck thread, glad you're back and rolling.

NY is UP..... not down.

If I made the trip it would be cool, but I would need to take a break from spending on the car to have enough money to travel up there.

yeah idk..hard to respect a game/team when they build billion dollar stadiums when the city is doing pretty bad..they up the prices of tickets and everything..the mayor wants to tear down the junk yard next to shea stadium and build condos
