After wanting a coupe for 4 years I got one! Its not pretty (yet) but its mine. Needs alot of love but its coming along. I traded the vert (put it back to stock) for it.

what it looked like before...

So far ive put my coilovers on it, put my subframe from the hatch in it, the Gangstah wheels, spacers, s14 seats.

Paint and body work are in order! It has a horrid lifter knock and needs some other little things... Its a PROJECT for sure.

No more trading cars for a long time!

I just need to find a cheap civic to daily now.

I originally wanted a coupe when I got out of high school because I used to pass by mahdavi motorsports everyday and they had a pretty sweet green silvia s13 out there. I didnt know what it was so I stopped in to see wtf it was cause I wanted one. Then I looked it up online and found out about drifting. That was in like 2001 I think.... damn that feels like forever ago!!!!

Nice, I like the coupes too. You sure it's the lifters?... because only the SOHC has hyrdaulic ones. Probably something more serious if it's DOHC.

Im not positive and honestly I wouldnt be suprised if its not haha. It only makes the sound when im on the accelerator. I wont be devastated if it just randomly blows ( I will be a little pissed if it happens 30 miles from home again though).

Im saving up for a new motor right now cause I'd rather just get something a little newer to beat on anyway. KA's tend to be cheap right now anyway.

Just a guess but maybe... rocket bunny aero? haha!

yeah those cars are hot! I kind of want that wing but the aero is too expensive to get over here.

and yes it needs moar sil front! I had pop ups for almost 5 years now... time for a change, if money permits. which it probably wont.

andy, If your asking about the black wheels they are just stock generic teardrop's painted black.
