Craigslist does rock. After months of searching, I found the S14 with the color and trim package I wanted. It was a 1995 standard model in Blue Emerald. Having a standard model meant I didn't get that completely useless thing called a sunroof. Those things should only be installed in luxury sedans. If it's one thing I can't stand in a sports coupe, it's sunroofs, targa tops and t-tops. I had to have Blue Emerald because it's the closest factory color to the paint color that I'll be repainting the car. The find was perfect, and was owned by the original driver. The only problem was it was in Sacramento, eight hours away. After making sure it was the one for me, I flew up there and drove the car home.
The best thing about any S-chassis car is the performance potential. I can easily turbo the KA motor, swap in the infamous SR20DET, or go wild by doing a RB or VQ swap. With the thought of having a boosted 'straight six', makes me feel like this car is a mini Skyline. Now whether I get to build any of these motors, we'll have to wait and see. The only thing I've been able to do so far is swap out the dirt-nasty blue interior for a newer black one. Keep reading and you should start seeing my project go from stock to 'dayum'. The rare JDM wheels and goodies are on their way.
