GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
or maybe not.. :v

My second project car is finally home and.. well.. let's just say my S-chassis-mania hasn't stopped at all yet (^o^*)
Back at the event on Mobara there was a guy asking around if people want to buy his car since he wanted to finance a bigger project of his. I was curios abot what he was selling.. He showed me some pics on his phone and I fell in love instantly. He told me that he has his own shop in Yokohama and that we could meet up on sunday so I could look at the car in person.

So I called up my colleague from work if he could take me down to Yokohama. He agreed and we made our way to this guys shop. When we arrived I already saw the front of the new ride. If you know me good, you know that I'm fully in love with this car (well.. almost as much as Miatas :p)...



YUP! I'm back with another S13! When that guy told me the prices of his Hatch I just couldn't keep my hype down.. 4.500V$ for this beauty!
From the outside its pretty much stock. The only thing that was added is that custom made front lip which just suits it perfectly. For the wheels he choosed some very good looking RS Watanabe F8s in 15 inch, wrapped up in some pretty used up Falken Ziex. And to get a good stance they topped it of with a used coilover set by Stance.



There's a bad thing about this S13 tho.. Just like my S14 this is just another one of those "Ohh let's just throw some stuff together to get this thing sideways" sorta project cars so it looks way nicer than it actually is. You can already tell by the interior that this wasn't the most serious of projects..



It does have the stock SR20DE that came with some of the Chuki-era 180sx's but it was fitted with a turbo setup straight from a S15 Spec-R. And yet again another welded diff.. Let's see how long this one is gonna hold up.. Other than that there are just some reinforcement-mods done to the engine. A bigger intercooler and a radiator setup by Koyorad plus some new hoses. Oh and there's a big but decent looking muffler.



I'm really freaking happy with the purchase and I'm happy to see what I can do with it in the future :3
I will probably keep it in that sorta "Dorisha"-looking way.. Be sure to follow me on this build hehe
