# BigSmoke : Well it's time to move on from the Colt//mirage after all, an S14 is a good daily alternative as other members here would agree with :cheers:

It's kinda intriguing though that you had to source the S14 as far as to Puerto Rico, where there are plenty of used S14s in Japan.....at least that's what I remember, and they could be autos or manuals and they're mostly the DE ones instead of DET bois.

Nevertheless, it's actually a great deal considering it already has a DET compared to DE and it's supposedly still able to roll, so there goes some (small) bits of your restoration job :)) Looking forward to the restoration progress, good luck my man :cheers:

And speaking of the sketchy ads, that reminds me a lot of Top Gear's Bolivia Special, where the crew didn't get the cars exacty the way they were sold :)) iirc Jeremy Clarkson and James May was the victims of the ads (they bought the car from a Bolivian used car website. If you're wondering, James got his Suzuki Samurai in red despite being advertised as blue, while Jeremy got himself a 3.5 liter carbed Range Rover MkI, which was sold as 3.9 liter fuel injected ones)

Lol well i mean i was in puerto rico anyway visiting my family on their vacations so why not get myself a car as well xD. Yea the ad was dirty saying it's "mint condition" and was "professionally swapped" when the car barely runs and is missing half of the body and other half is rusted and ziptied to $hit. Also i'm not planning to keep the sr as it's plenty f'ed and will take a lot of effort to 1st figure out what's wrong 2nd get it back to life and i'm not even sure if it's gonna work cause idk how long the car was running rich like that and how much abuse it went through. I'm planning to do engine swap and keep the sr for my r32 as a spare block and parts. Yea s-chassis is more popular in japan and all but i wanted to change the engine and the bodykit anyway, i'll probably just need to fix front chassis rails as they tend to bend, throw some goodies and paint it. Also where but in america will you find such a "well maintained" s-chassis rofl.

It'll be fire y'all just need to be patient ;)
