>>28741293now if only one of those still existed in drivable condition...
I never saw one of these on the road back in the day, always a rare car ime.
>>28741293I always tell folks to take a picture, it will last longer than their cars usually do.That's peak S13 there
>>28741328The last one on the road was smashed into a lamppost by Hernando in 1998.
>>28741337Guess the local Nissan dealerships only wanted to sell shitbox models.
>>28741338i get the distinct feeling the OP photo is a promotional shot from the early 90s because that thing looks a little too showroom perfect
>>28741379It does look the part of being a showroom perfect example. Photo was taken in August 2014.
>>28741293This and the 3-series suffer majorly from the drift tax.
>>28741379it doesn't have taped up bumpers, faded paint, and dents everywhere?
>>28741293I've always wanted an s13 but I was a poor college kid when they were in their $1000-2000 era.
>>28741613Sporty coupes lead a hard life and what about it?
>>28741653never meet your heroes. They're pretty rubbish (KA24 had nothing on the SR20). Same with the Corolla twin cam really. Both rubbish stock, can be made better with after market parts.Just proof if you make a cool anime or movie with a car, it will become legendary, even if it doesn't deserve it.
>>28741293outside the supra and skyline, these were the first to really get drift taxed
>>28741293I like the midship nissans but the G coupe and 350Z that came after shat all over these 4 cylinder pieces of shit
A while back I saw a 2nd gen CRX in a parking lot somewhere and it almost made my eyes bulge out of my head. No one knows how that thing could still be in existence especially knowing the usual rough treatment meted out to any 2 door Honda.
>>28741843it's some neckbeard who no doubt posts on this very board
>>28741843A number of years ago my sister made the very bad blunder of buying a used 03 Civic 2 dr that was probably owned by Puerto Ricans (can't 100% confirm but we had our suspicions). She didn't keep that car long I will say that.
>>28741843>>28741848the Euro equivalent is a BMW or Audi that has been straight piped and redlined repeatedly by Ahmed or Farouk
>>28741731just sr20 swap it?
>>28741661sporty anything leads a hard life, either theyre taken care of and loved or beaten the shit out of and loved
>>28742393Kek I wish that were the case but anything RWD, manual, or a combination of the two gets clout chased to hell via poor taste modifications and abuse because people who cannot behave are drawn to it.
>>28741293>neat shitbox perfect as a daily grocery getter>ricers and other subhumans "claim" it and baloon their prices into the stratosphereI hate car "enthusiasts" so much it's unreal.
>>28742511and if you take to a classic car show boomers will give you dirty looks and say that a 90s car isn't a real classic just used car lot junk
>>28741843It was probably an automatic transmission one which had a better chance than a manual CR-X.
>>28742648First of all I wouldn't take it there because it'd be a neat daily driver. Second of all if I did I wouldn't care what some crusty dinosaurs think of MY car.
>>28742648Just remember. Once upon a time there were old men who said 50s-60s cars were used junk and only a 1923 Packard was a real antique.
I daily a 180sx, it's a fun car.
>>28742687Seriously, anyone driving an FT86 car from 2013 onward is driving a collectable qt, and they should think twice about doing clout chaser shit to their RWD 6MT car because it's fucking hot as it is
>>28741299Drift Tax exist primarily as a result of less RWD cars being offered in 21st century and of those are available most not coming with manual.So that leaves a dwindling supply of shitboxes for the next generation of hotheads with a fresh license.In America I guess you guys have low spec pony cars, in Europe we have E46s, but even those are getting gobbled up and might start running dry soon.
>>28742394If it was a manual shift Omni or Aries it might avoid that.
I like my 240Im the second owner after the old lady who kept it in a garage and paid for all the maintenance Its not fast but its fun and 5 speedIm keeping it as stock as possible and may never sell itRicing is ghey
>>28743104nice. you probably get more people gawking at it already because we're well past the point where seeing a bone stock silvia/sx is surprising
>>28743104Stay clean, S14 Anon.
>>28741847im not a neckbeard :/
>>28743236the one I saw was white or light gray iirc so i know it's not you
>>28743131>>28743153Yeah I get looks and comments from random people sometimes. Even a few notes left under the windshield wiper asking if I'd sell.I think the grandma tier color helps it blend in. I don't really want to attract a ton of attention with a flashy nice car so this is a nice middle ground. The one bad thing is its loud and stinks cause its straight piped. I'd rather it be quiet so I've been considering getting a new cat and full SS exhaust put in. But that may be no quieter.
>>28743256>Even a few notes left under the windshield wiper asking if I'd sell.Kek do not sell it to these clout chasers, I don't even like 240s, I'm more into old Hondas, but I do not believe destroying the old cars that we have, really should be doing rice modifications to a brand new car desu, just enjoy the drive, wax the paint and be much happier anyway.
>>28743257>really should be doing rice modifications to a brand new car desureally no one*
>>28743256if you have the money, fujitsubo sell a legalis r exhaust for your model. sounds like stock down low/around town but you really hear it when hammering it.very expensive and need to ship from japan though. but for a forever car, it might be cheaper in the long run
>>28743256>The one bad thing is its loud and stinks cause its straight pipedThe old lady did that?
>>28743292I'll look into that thanks>>28743338I did it 5ish years ago when the stock exhaust snapped at the cat somehow. I cheaped out and just got a local muffler shop to fix it. Now after college i can invest some real money into doing it right.
>>28743674>I did it 5ish years ago when the stock exhaust snapped at the cat somehowit was probably a faulty weld at the factory
>>28743674Seeing this makes me immensely mad I will never find a pristine Probe like this S14 ever. I would unironically shell out nucar money for a factory fresh Probe if Ford ever went full retard and made a short rerun. Hell, I would do this for a lot of other 80s and 90s cars.Regardless that is a hella nice Nigsan.
>>28743257>do not sellAgreedIf I ever sold it Id be very picky about who i sell it to. Id only want to sell it to somebody who appreciated keeping it clean and stock.>>28743959Could be.After i got the new exhaust i started to notice blue smoke so the cat might have been clogged with oil and caused some high pressure stress point but idk for sure.I eventually got the top end rebuilt so no more oil burning.Also took the chance to pretty up the engine and paint the valve cover.pic related>>28744688I was so lucky to find this car. Well actually I'm lucky my dad spotted it at a dealer off the highway and called me to tell me about it. I went up to check it out and it was better than i could have expected. Its quite the contrast when sitting next to my '91 toyota landcruiser rust bucket. It was the cheapest one i could find and it reflects that. Everything is rusty and i cant expect anything to work or bolts to not snap.But I didnt want to pay 30k for a nice one.Checking forums i see pristine landcruisers selling for 4k back when i bought my 240. I should have bought one back then ;-;I feel your pain bro. I wish toyota kept making the 80 like they do the 70 and actually sold it in the west.
>>28741379it was taken on a decent digital camera, so it was mid 2000s at the absolute earliest. my guess is it's less than 5 years old.
>>28741293i saw one of these on the highway last year. what impressed me is that he had a sofa strapped to the roof and was going over 80 mph
>>28746525>I was so lucky to find this carWell yeah, at this point it's just luck to find an unmolested car like this. Doesn't matter if it's an S14 or a Probe. I'm still mad jelly though.
Showroom condition S13s still exist.
