    it was only a matter of time........

    So ive been S-body free for 4 years after selling my old S14a but its been a hard 4 years and ive always hankered for another one so after seeing a nice clean example on here I bit the bullet and bought this.

    This one had pretty much all the mods I was looking for and will only require a few tweaks to get it how I want it. For those who remember my old car you will know how this is going to go , more lows , more offset and more width haha back to standard metal upfront aswell so if anyone has some green wings fancys a swap ill be interested. Might kouki up the front to match the rear but to be honest im all about the lows on this one wich may make it a un dailyable daily but im no stranger to hardship (y)

    Is this aimed at me? Am I not entitled to express that I'm also interested in a swap just because you've already commented before hand.

    Yes it's aimed at you. There's a slight difference between what you're interested in and a deal you are offering as to which was already previously said.

    Pisses me off people get overlooked and sometimes comments go unseen because of others. You have the right of course I concur with that.. but if I've already offered then you could at least bare that in mind.

    Plans are to lower it over some nice wide low offset wheels maybe a few other tweeks here and there. Just want to keep it clean simple and cool for my daily.

    I've always wondered... how much would the NBR trip cost ya overall mate? I have been umming n ahhing for too long.. only thing that's stopped me is the possibility of it being an extortionate trip

    You can do it for as little as 500 if you where careful and shared a car with someone. For me ive spent 180 euro on accommodation for 3 nights where renting a house and thats my share , £123 for tunnel crossing and then im taking around £1000 for fuel , laps , beer and food. Ill be taking my EK civic with me so id of thought it will be a little more economical than the sx.
