Very nice built!

Le beau 240 des jumeaux ! :bigup:

Jumeauz before hoes!

Construit avec gout et des pieces de qualités. Vraiment top clean.

Pics and car are quality. *tu*

I think NOBODY can hate on this car!!!! Its amazing! I had the priviledge of having the car for a weekend (thats when this photoshoot was done) and shared the photoshoot with my s14 for our coverage in Summum Magazine!!!! Love u tweenies

Saw this car when it left Autoworx with the fresh new wheels and the pure money Koguchi Fenders. Never heard anything about it after that, and was really surprised since I thought for sure it would be posted all over the internet. This thing is crazy clean, honestly one of the nicest S13's I've seen in person. The pictures do not do it justice at all.

Message to the owner: If you ever think of selling it, please pm me a price.

Yep, vraiment le plus beau S13 du Québec. Il y a juste le pedobear qui gache tout. Sinon j'adore tout sur ce char.

yé beau sur une photo ce char la, mais dommage que ca sois seulement un trailler queen

well built

One of the reasons you never heard about the car after it left Autoworx (paint), the engine assploded on the dyno. I had melted Mahle pistons and a warped head... Had to redo everything over... Ty for the compliment of my shitbox Also, the car is not for sale, I wanted 2 years ago before I had to redo everything.

Le pedobear est lone gone! Je l'ai enleve en revenant du shoot, c'etait plus drole si on veut. Maintenant, il a juste les stickers de Spark Motoring.

-----------------------------

Right now, the car is getting a VE head, like RIGHT NOW. Basically, I can scratch off "futur plans" hehe! I should be aiming for 420whp @ 20psi and have a powerband of a V8, low end torque and high end hp. Also, I still have ice cold A/C blowing in that thing

The main goal of my car was to build a nice looking daily driver with all the creature comforts and be able to drift, drag and lap with ease. I did try drifting last year, was AWSOME, but I wasent hehe! Tried drag, Mirabel dosent have good prep and it was cold (~13.8 @ 117mph), did lapping once with my T25 and I blew the turbo gasket off and melted the ignitor...

Looking forward to attend more DNs, lapping days and meets this season with the revamped setup! My VVL goes BWWAAAAAAHHHHH
