Silvia Club of NSW :: View topic - First S13, just bought it.

some advice,
Do not buy ROTA wheels.

speed a little more and get something decent.. ROTAs are notorious for breaking....

Clean looking car there, as said above, maybe stay away from the rota wheels, but I like the size you have in mind (as opposed to the 20"+ chrome crap that tends to run rampant these days).

I have stainless front half of exhaust here http://www.silviansw.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33072

Then you would just need to chase up a cat-back system to complete it.

Hello and welcome!

Nice car! Looks pretty clean in the photos. Any plans for it? I live in Cremorne and drive a two-tone green/grey S13, if I see you around I'll be sure to give you a wave.

Nice silvia, how is the body? It looks pretty straight in the pictures but from this distance its hard to tell Car looks great BTW. Any plans for it yet?

hey guys, cheers, body is completely straight and in great condition. only bad thing is that the boot is a bit bodgy as someone has done a really crap job of covering up the marks were the wing used to sit, but still better than having holes there! Plans for the Car: Rota RB wheels 16x8 all round Full exhaust system (anyone know of a good place or wat is good for CA?) 2 Way LSD FMIC thats about it for the major mods, then just interio.. eg. Steering wheel and bucket seat, as they are worn at the moment.

Dori teks are awsome. yeah they are, just dont buy ROTAs, doriteks are stronger than ROTAs it appears, and most probably made in different factorys as ROTAs are lighter. mmmm ROTA soup jp2024 wrote: hokkaido wrote: some advice, Do not buy ROTA wheels. speed a little more and get something decent..
