Thanks. Its going slowly, but one day ill get there
I just wanted to give a quick update as I don't think I showed the brake calipers after they got painted
You might be thinking its a boring color. But in the sun its pretty cool
And I went to pickup the Mazda this Friday.
We drove a whole 47km, and then this happened.
I've been told by multiple people that the Mazda Diesel have problems with short trips - and also that the soot will clog the oil pickup and this will be an very expensive repair. So I'm actually thinking about reversing the purchase and buying a Toyota Avensis T270 wagon.

Lets just bring a quick update on the shitshow that some people call my Nissan 200SX S13
First of. Finally got the TypeX bodykit for the second S13. Only waited almost half a year because of danish postal "service".
So ofc i started to mock the front up.
Just to clarify, I have done absolutely NO modifications so far to the front bumper. But a bit of sanding and its pretty good. I would give the fitment are a 8/10.
Also a quick picture of the painted rear brakecaliper
And lastly, i finally got the Mazda back. And tomorrow im putting it for sale.

Youre always welcome. But one car is out of town to get fixed, and the other is just standing under a cover. After we bought a house, I havent had as much time as i wanted to finish the cars. But hopefully one of them will get registrered for this summer

Well... After I delivered the car to the mechanic. a few hours went by and he called me. The head is dead. Luckily he had a spare laying around, so I bought that and he installed it.
Heres how it looks at my workshop space without the S13.
Pretty sad
Anyway i finally found a replacement for the worst car in history - The 2016 2.2 Diesel Mazda CX-5.
ITS A TOYOTA!
More precisely a 2016 Toyota Avensis 1.8 Sports wagon with an amazing 147horsepowers!
And i cant have a stock car. So after 4 days of owning it, i bought H&R lowering springs. I ran the same springs on my Chevrolet Cruze, and it drove pretty great. So i had to buy these. Now i just have to find time to install them :/
I also bought a custommade Tsurikawa from ParkedProjekt.com
Also as i bought a house with a small garage, i wanted the shelfing at home. So we dismantled it and cut it to size so it could fit under the low ceiling in my garage.
The mechanic told me i could come get the car as its put together and could drive. So smart as I am, i brought the other S13 to him as its leaking oil when warm. And I wanted to have it ready for MOT. So the RHD S13 was loaded onto the van and off we went!
We switched cars and returned home with a working S13 and it was parked in the garage. As you can see, its a small garage.
Here it was sitting for a few weeks until this happens:
Yep... Its sold. I was getting tired of the car. Had it for 6 years where i tried to make it run, spend way to much money and time on it. and only got to drive it one single time - the day it was picked up.
I hope the new owner will create a new build thread so we can follow the build. But from my side, its over. I will focus my time on my RHD S13 and get it roadworthy within reasonable time.
The same day the car was picked up, we emptied out my workshop.
So this is the end for this build-thread. Thanks for everybody who followed. And if youre interested in my RHD S13, it can be found here: https://www.driftworks.com/forum/threads/need-for-speed-inspired-s13-welcome-to-2005.282232/
