S15 from Germany
Hey guys and girls,
my name is Andy and I live in the northern part of Germany. After strolling around here for quite a long time without being registered, I finally decided to register now. I love most of the golden 90s era japanese sportscars. When being a kid and teen, I saw all the cool Euro spec 200SX´s driving around and I loved them. Time went by and in 2010 I bought the love of my life, my all time favourite sportscar, a Supra MKIV, for those who are interested. I also always had a soft spot for all the 180 SX´s, S14´s and S15´s out there. In 2015, I searched for a new daily driver to replace my Golf Diesel and I knew, what do to: Import an S15! Well, the plan was, to daily the car (I just have 3 km´s to work), but this plan failed, haha! I show you, why! This is how I imported it. Grade 4 car. Quite stock minus exhaust, Tein springs and some weak fitment Work CR KAI´s. Full stock Aero kit, which was a must. As I only wanted the car for my 3 km´s to work, I bought a Spec S. I wanted an Autech, but you all know, how difficult it is, to source one. Well, doesn´t matter, I´m till today happy with this car. Welcome to Germany! ![]() ![]() Had a cool Japanese radio in it with a HDD with Japanese music and games on it. ![]() Found this in the car. Oh boy! ![]() ![]() Okay, so I registered the car, did some maintenance and then happened the stupid stuff, haha. Fortune Auto coilovers. Absolutely love the quality and how the car feels with em. ![]() And I was lucky enough to source some adverted Hasemi Prot-S, made my SSR. It´s a square setup, 17x9 +25. The condition of the wheels was shit, but I redid them completely. ![]() ![]() All new: ![]() First drive (still with missing center caps): ![]() ![]() And how she looks now: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunaltey can´t go lower atm, cause the sound absorber is scraping all the time (yes, German regulations regarding to loud cars suck as hell). Thought of changing the wheels for quite a while, but I decided to keep them. I will keep this car simple, a few upgrades will happen, but that´s it. I am totally happy with the car till today. But you already guessed it, it isn´t my daily driver anymore, conditionwise it´s just too good to drive it on salty roads in the winter time, so it now is my 2nd weekend car. ![]() Saw some of my personal "hero cars" here also, so I hope, we all have a cool time here. Glad to be here finally. Cheers Andy |
