hehe yeah they told me they saw you there.
Jip motor is a bit stuffed... so gonna pull it and drop the new one in. Then rebuild the broken one to better spec.
so for now I just want her to be able to drive the car... cause she's been complaining alot and was actually on the verge of selling it, I talked to her and came to the conclusion that another motor will be better for now.
Oh and....

How much would shipping on those be to SA? If I get a s13 as a daily in sa the look I will go for is low and wide with small old school looking wheels like that so would be interested to know!
Can't you get wider than 8j? You should run 9.5 or 10!!!
Also, your calipers....not sure they will clear.
What is the offset on them wheels?
