Hi, I'm Ethan. Long time poster, first time lurker.
The story begins when I was on the net looking for a cheap s13 and i seen tidy teal CA18DE silvia sitting low on some grids for $3,400 AUD, I call the guy up and he informed me it was now a matte black onevia. Whicj was okay with me since i had a 180 type x front end sitting in my garage.
Fast forward aand I was at the guys house and he walks me around the back to this.
The matte black in question was done with spray cans and looked absolutely terrible, although the engine bay was clean, no crash history and immaculate interior. I had to have it.
So a few things were on the dodgy side so i fixed them up and took it for a roadworthy inspection to get the car switched into my name.
Then it looked like this:
Then this:
Getting told off by my neightbour for the cars being too loud:
Then it went bang and looked like this:
Then did what every person should do when they pull a motor from a half cut that has been started in 4 years
Got a seat:
