You could try for a later model Eclipse or something.

So i've been gone for a little bit and few things have happened.

I tore down the S14 for a rebuild. The SR20 is gone, sat aside in my shop for another project eventually, and I'm currently building a 2JZ. Stock crank, no stroker here, and a Powerhouse Racing ported and polished cylinder head with a Greddy manifold, on a 90mm throttle body. More parts are coming and I'll keep updating this build.




A few days later, I lent my S13 coupe to a friend who told me he wanted to experience driving a RWD car up in the Nanohanadai hills. Knowing him well enough I handed him the keys, and I received a call from him the next morning, telling me he crashed my car bad and he was in the hospital. I went to go check out the crash.




The car had ended up going off the top of the road and took a tumble down the side of the mountain before spearing itself on a pole. My friend was lucky to make it out of the car alive, thank god I installed the cage a few weeks before.



I guess my journey with this S13 coupe ends here; the frame is cracked, the rear subframe is tweaked from where it smacked the ground after getting speared into the pole. I might sell this car if someone wants this piece of metal or parts off it. Wheels are still good, motor is kind of good, everything else is..yeah.

Now that I have additional garage space, and the money that my friend paid back for the cost of the car, I had some extra money to play with, so I decided to travel to Japan and buy one of my dream cars since, forever. I ended up with this:









Its a 1999 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-S, in a factory shade of Pewter, with 80,985 km's on it. It's a Grade 4 auction, so it's really clean inside and out. The guy who owned it before me daily'ed this car so it gets its regular maintenance done, and it drives very well. Exterior mods are simply Spec R badging (whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy) and Spec R side skirts. The car runs a full set of HKS Hipermax III coilovers, but they're well used now and probably need replacing soon. The motor is a mostly stock SR20DE, but it's straight piped to an Apexi N1 2.5 inch tip. It's a beauty of a car and I'm going to enjoy this car as much as I can before I tear into it.
