Hi, new kinda...

[Thrill Capsule]

Kinda new here, been lurking for quite some time while I hunted for a s13. Not my first s13 though, did have a 89 coupe (may she rest in peice*s*) Finally picked up a 90 FB this past thursday and took some pics while I cleaned her up.

Great site BTW.

another...

Congrats on the car & welcome to Zilvia!--even though you have been "lurking" for a few months now. What happened to your coupe?

Tell us a bit about you and your car! I love red hatchbacks!

[KiDyNomiTe]

I sure hope that coupe wasn't two tone, way to go spoilerless hatch :D

[Thrill Capsule]

Hmmm, well my coupe and I had an encounter with a dump truck while on the highway. I ended up hitting two trees cutting the front end of the car off... not pretty. Here is a pic of the accident.

New 240sx: base model, no power stuff, lots of miles but runs great and it was dirt cheap. Going to the junkyard this week to scavenge for interior parts and whatnot. Oh yeah, it had some nasty hubs that I had to rip off, Id rather have steelies.

Wish I had more money to start modding but Im a poor college student, plus my motorcycle goes into the shop this week to get fixed.

[Thrill Capsule]

Nah I didnt have a two-tone, in fact ive never even seen a two-tone in person.

Spoilerless good:D

Heres another crash pic...:(

[96SEChick]

OMG! Were you hurt badly? OMG! That's so sad to see :( Was it his fault? I'm still in awe of the pics! :(

How many miles do you have on your hatchback? How much did you get it for? Is it 5-speed or manual? No spoiler will hopefully equal no hatch rust! :)

that sux bout the coupe.. makes me wan cry. I own a 92 maroon coupe as well. that makes me cringe.. good luck on the new car though

I wasnt hurt too bad, I missed a couple weeks of school and had to drop out of martial arts. Sprained all my muscle in the left side of my rib cage and my right hip. A deep cut on my chin(still have the scar) It could have been much much worse, if i didnt have my seatbelt on I would have been dead. And it was completely his fault, he didnt look before changing lanes.


The FB: 169K 5 spd, paid 1200 for it. I missed my old coupe so bad, when I drove this it felt like home :)

[AKADriver]

NICE deal! I paid almost twice that for my '90 for only 30k less miles. Your car looks identical to mine down to the steelies :D Well, I took my pinstripe off, but besides that...

Wow you are sooooo lucky! I got chills when I saw the pics and read your explanation. It makes me hurt to think about how it felt to take those jolts.

Congrats on the great deal! How long did it take you to find it? What are your plans for the new baby? :D

[chokudoriS13]

Those are some seriously intense crash pics. Glad you're ok.

Congrats on the fastback.

[Fibercus]

Took way too long to find one, basically since I wrecked the coupe which was febuary 02'
I plan on starting with all the basic work, fixing broken parts etc etc. Then Ill begin with suspension and whatnot, I basically want an auto-x/ fun weekend car. Might have to get exhuast really soon though, the piping is pretty rusted but not leaking yet.

Oh yeah no pinstripe either :) Im hoping I can find a front lip spoiler from a junkyard.

Yeah I forgot my collar bone is uneven from the crash too, like to "pop" everynow and again and still hurts. Its very annoying.
