this is going to be rather cool
it’s the engine, suspension, and subframes from a s15 silvia (successor to the 240sx overseas) attached to a home built tube frame, with a toyota hilux (tacoma 1995-2004) skin over top.
stance like this is why stance became soo cool in the first place
no widebody kit, no crazy 12″ wide wheels, and no fenders “flared” out with a hammer.
just nicely oversized wheels that just barely fit under the stock body with a mild roll.
Thank you for not ruining it with a widebody kit
subtle body kits are fine, but all these big lame widebody kits with massive wings and such only remind me of the horrid late 90′s/early 2000′s honda scene.
so thanks for not doing that here when everyone else would have.
more s13 goodies
I just can’t not like these, I know this is what everybody builds and what everybody else calls the cop out “you have no creativity or originality” car to build…. but generally I find peoples’ comments on what they think you should do completely worthless.
just soo much fun to rat on and always look dope low and wide
Thanks to motormavens for some of the pics
S14 drop wheels done
as I have said many times, a car that actually looks good only needs a drop and the right wheels
Thanks to stanceworks for the material
the last S chassis… and we never got it here.. Booo
for those that don’t know, this is the s15. it would be familiar to us north americans as the last 240sx.. but it never made it here. it was produced from 1999-2002, so you might start to see imported version here in canada in late 2013.
Thanks to MattMalcolm for the pics
Hands down my favourite s13 ever
yup, thanks to engineered to slide
just incase you don’t know s13 = 89-93 nissan 240sx

Pics from capital drift in victoria B.c.
I was checking out DORI-KAZE when i came across some event pics of the “captital drift season finale” in victoria by member “666″ and the pictures are actually really good and so are the cars. so here they are.
looking at these pics proves that toyota certainly peaked in the late 80′s
Drift matsuri pics from speedhunters.com
Here’s a handful of great pictures from a drift event at Matsuri in japan by Dino Dalle Carbonare
I love this ae86 toyota corolla and this red hatch with the black hood and trim is a nice example. These are truly great cars, super reliable, tough as hell, great looking proportions, and very quickly becoming a classic. certainly an under dog that has outshone it’s peers.
lovin the long exposure here
once again very cool shot
Finally sold my ep3 civic
about time.. I didn’t like my 2002 civic sir from the start, nice motor but crappy everything else, steering, handling, the seating position sucked and the seat had no adjustments except the mandatory forward/back and recline, poor rearward visibility, steering wheel was too high and always always cut through the gauges…. and last but certainly not least the a/c was always on whenever you had any type of defrost on… really really annoying.
so now onto what I think i like most about cars…. buying themI The current candidates are the 92-93 civic si hb and the s13 or s14 (89-98) 240sx.
the 92-93 civic si hatchback is most likely the best civic we ever got in north america, it was part of the best chassis and the best suspension line honda ever offered because it had 4 wheel double wishbone suspension (they don’t have that anymore), it was light (they don’t do that anymore), and it had good visibility ( nope… no longer in a civic), and it also had 4-wheel discs, the 1.6 sohc vtec engine, a power sunroof, . basically I love all the 88-2000 civic hatchbacks, but the 88-91 was a little too noisy and under powered, and the 96-2000 had a cheap interior and no power. of the 92-95 civics they only offered the si hb for 2 years. the si coupe was heavier, longer, and lacked the rear discs. the 4 wheels discs and vtec motor were never again available in the HB.
so for these reasons it’s on my list.
the 240sx is the other present candidate because they are just damn cool, 4 wheel disc’s, RWD, nice multi-link rear end, a torquey 2.4L motor, they are cheap, quick, nice highway cars, and endlessly modifiable… but they look best with the stock body, a nice drop on coilovers, and some killer wheels.
All Japanese Classic car show
The japanese classic car show is this sunday, april 26th 9am-3pm!! I seem to miss it every year, but not this year! I’m sure my expectations are a tad too high but I’m still really excited, plus it’s gonna be a nice warm day and it’s at the beach.
iflip. Cheap, fun, low investment = happy motoring
I flip cars and that’s all i do, maybe I like the hunt more then the kill?? no, I just want a car that does what it should. I liked the wagon for 3 solid months, same with the cressida…building cheap, neat, unique cars was seeming to make me happy. but when you spend 3-4 times the money and end up with more problems then the beaters gave you is just lame.
here’s some cool pics of cool, fun, unique cars that make me happy to look at. altho some are into the $$ range.
