My car went through a lot of different phases. It started as a 240 with faded paint, then it got a fresh black paint job and silvia face, then it got a wangan spoiler and a zenki front lip, then I got 5 lug 17″ wheels, got side skirts, then Japanese rear unders, then an aero bumper with a zenki lip spoiler then I went back to 180 face and painted it red. And throughout the whole process it got new stickers, got rid of old stickers, etc.

Although I look at my car these days and think that it looks really cool, it’s still not my favorite era of my car. It was my favorite back in 2003 when I got my tapered face TE37s and I had stickers going from the rear part of the door and up the rear fender.

I’m being honest when I say that I really don’t see any sileighties that look good to me.  Back in the days of 1998 I did, but I never really liked any others… besides mine.  I think the silvia face just really does not match a hatchback s13 or something.  But for some reason I still think mine looked cool and I can’t really come up with a reason why.  Is it because it’s black?  Maybe it’s that combined with the zenki lip and wangan wing?  Maybe it’s just because it’s mine and I’m being nostalgic.  I’m not sure!  All I know is that I could spend hours on end looking at my car in the driveway and I still feel the same way when I see these old pics.

Here’s some pics of what my car looked like during my favorite stage.  Maybe with my r32 wheels in the rear instead of those 5zigens.
