I'll be posting a few pics of a SR20 powered caterham/kit car modeled after one, that my friend saw on a mountain road nearby. Of course, it had to be the day that I decided I didn't want to go too.

There were 4 cars in total, one sr powered, the other had corvette wheels on his, which means they are very wide, and one was in fact, a real Caterham.

Corvette wheels are 11" to 13" wide in the rear. ;)
 
I was looking at a set for my junkyard BMW back in the day. Couldn't find any, in the time that I had the car. ;)
I'm just curious, and I have no idea if you can get this kind of part cheaper, but how much would a set of PIC coilovers cost you? The non-dampening adjustable ones for like $760 on their site.

That is a seriously clean Integra 👍

Really nice. I'm loving the paintjob. And the wheels.
 
Yeah I sort of doubted that you would, since they are actually manufactured here in America.

EDIT: Hopefully that is what I'll have on my car eventually.

Well, judging by some of the reviews I've seen, they're one of the first truly respectable company to make complete coilovers here in the USA. Skunk2's are garbage, and I would buy plenty of parts from Skunk2. It just shows how decent their production is. If you do end up getting them, let me know what you think of them. Who knows, I may ask for some custom coilovers to be built there. ;)
 
9.57@14x mph that little Insight, you know. With a non-VTEC, non turbo, non nitrous single cam F22 Accord engine, too.
 
Here's a challenge - can anyone find some decent B13 Sentras for me?
I love those cars, that was basically what I wanted to get before I got my civic, but man they are hard to find.

Anyways, heres some cars my friend encountered in the mountains.




My friends roadster in the backround.




And HERE is a video of my friends miata. This is not fast forward, and the car is stock other than wheels and tires. It looks very very fast in the video.

I know of a few. A couple with SR20DETs in the area at one point, I love the B13 alot as well...

I know someone on the forum had some goods pics, I'll have to track them down...

The new SE-R just fails at life, Nissan, what have thoust done?:indiff:
 
Sweet e30 in there too. I look at those as a step above the B13 though, but still following a similar mindset.

A guy that I work with on the Formula SAE project here has a beautiful black E30. I get to drive past it alot delivering pizza, makes me smile each time I see it.

hehe, you found me.

I've got a 93 B13 Sentra XE. Looked good when I got it, though it now suffering from a terminal case of car cancer over the rear wheels and into the rear strut tower mounts.

Anyways, a few b13 pics I've collected over time on different forums. You'll notice I had a tendency to grab pics with a similar paint scheme to mine. I used to want to dress mine up a little so there's some here with solid red tails, painted mirrors, b14 rims, filled body lines, Stillen kits, etc... all stuff I used to want to do.



I love these next three...



These last few are my own, taken a week or two after I purchased it 5 years ago. Apart from the rust problem I'm combating around the rear wheel wells (road salt is a nasty thing), the only visible difference on it today is that I put hubcaps on it when the summer tires are on.

I know people hate when I post trucks, but this is an import and I think it's pretty cool.

His next modification...























A timing belt! You know, so it'll actually run! Maybe some wires for his COPs, eh?
 
Wow, that engine is squeezed in there pretty tight. Props to whoever took on that mod, they have some skill. 👍

A 650+hp 4agte on nitrous. Looks like a fair bit of coin was spent under the bonnet hmm? Surely the owner wouldn't have skimped on the exterior then...


No, of course not.....
