Hellow. Been a long time, and I still haven't done much to my cars. Everything's pretty much same, Golfs as daily cars, 86 as beater drift & Supra as showcar.
I was planning to buy a S13 hatch. It's because I'm too bored of driving FWDs & I want something I love for summer daily. At first I was looking at 180SXs in Japan (to import here), but I didn't find anything I'd run to buy at first sight. Also, it's pain in the ass to drive RHD in LHD traffic. I realized I probably have to import a 240SX from states or buy 200SX in Europe. In Estonia here were only 2 200SX for sale at that moment. Both of themwere rusty and messed up. Although, few weeks after I managed to get a familiar tuned 200SX from a local tuning & import garage. They just had put it for sale on their FB page when I saw it, hanging at their garage. I helped to build it in 2013, when it was red. Anyway, now it's happily mine  Some specs & basic info: - Imported to Estonia in 2002, bought as new in Netherlands - Modified SR20DET for street racing, makes around 250kw+ - Rust free, restored & repainted in 2014 - Shaved engine bay by me in 2013 - BC racing coilovers - Front brakes from 350Z, rears unknown - New stereo system (4 front, 3 back) - 3" exhaust pipe with resonators - Hydraulic handbrake Smaller pros & cons: - Lots of spare parts, OEM & tuned - Air conditioning doesn't work - Clean interior - Sadly wide EU plates, but no blue bar as car is registered before 2004 - Etc I'll remark later when talked about I paid 6000 euros for it, definitely worth it.

Thanks guys. At first sight I thought it was the OEM champagne color, however it isn't. I really need to find out what exactly it is.
Is fitting Kouki taillights easy? I might have found some, but I need to see them first. Also, has anyone worked on stock air conditioning? Mine doesn't work, like no reaction at all when turning on. I haven't checked any cables nor mechanisms under dashboard yet. |

Kouki taillights are easy to install cause if u buy the whole kit u get everything, just remove the old ones and mount the kouki ones, also check you compressor, mine happened to leak few times also the hoses near the radiator know to crack so you are loosing freon and the AC stops working. GL Whit it

 Changed the wheels for pure 90's aesthetics. Also, I painted & installed rear Navan valances I got with my 200SX. The paint is a bit off, but whatever. And of course, I had to lower my car. Maxxed out, and I still can turn my wheels. Plus, my favourite thing, Nardi steering wheel.  My other cars at home.

Here's something some of you would like, I presume. I changed quite a lot on my 200SX. It certainly doesn't look like a stock car with different wheels anymore, not at all. Instead of writing 21 pages of chit-chat, I'll just show you a list of stuff I changed. Those free weekends are really good to work on cars
Changes: - Put Hoshinos on my 86 that's in my garage (in pieces); - Rolled fenders a lot, maybe too much; - Installed brown/bronze VS6 with mad spacers; - Fixed rear camber; - Painted Chuki sideskirts to match the chassis color (got the right code now!); - White OEM sidemarkers; - Installed roof spoiler & trunk spoiler; - Rear bumper lip for maximum kanjo aesthetics; - WHITE TAILLIGHTS!; - Reinstalled boost controller (need to find a good place for it thou); - Fabricated the hydraulic handbrake lever to look stock(ish);

It looks so much better with these rims. But if you don't put the front plate somewhere else you'll lose it very soon.

 As I didn't really like the stock Chuki bumper I thought of buying (importing) something else. But current style is something curvy with touches of shakotan & kaido s13's. I realized I either have to get pignose or fabricate something custom. I went for the last option - it's more my type of tuning.  I had different lips for cars, and bla bla bla. In the end it looks like you can see on the images. The "double lip" looks actually pretty interesting imo. I also atrached a random grille on (in) the bumper. Also, I tinted my lights & added lips to sides too. Right after these, I fabbed a less outstanding exhaust tip. Not really loud actually.

Rear bumper got cracked as hell, thanks to a Corolla tow hook. Whatever. I got another bumper, but it's red, for narrow plates & has no trim. These aren't really big problems thou'.
I finally got my custom floormats, aesthetics af. Specially made for me, matches with steering wheel n stuff. And I installed a worn Bride seat from my Golf.

Ye, it's inspired from that. Although it's not anymore with these taillights and also now other owner.
We finally got a new garage. It's really big & even has office boxes. At the moment, it's quite empty. Just moved in with cars & few toolboxes. We yet only have my Supra & friend's stripped 180SX there, but more cars will be stored there for sure. I'll still continue to work at my house garage, but this will be my main "hangout" spot. I repainted the red bumper & used bits of my old bumper trim, looks okay from pictures but it's partially cracked.

While mainly focusing on building & driving the Nissan I barely used the Golfs. For those who are not familiar with these, one is a later Golf that's stanced (wasn't for winter) & has K24 V-TEC engine. Other Golf is a bit older, dark blue & Syncro (AWD).
I just wrapped the V-TEC Golf & lowered it again. It was higher for snow, but there's none of that left. It's different now. - Back to Golf dashboard - Rear window louvre - Rear wiper delete - Custom machined wheels - Other bits & bits    The Syncro Golf hasn't changes at all. Mhhh. I wish I could drive it on ice tracks, it's quite fun with light awd car.   And of course a picture of my 200SX for you all.
