So, here's my EK4 Type-S. It does come with a bit of a story though - it was fairly well known in the norwegian owner's club, and previous owners had taken real good care of it. Except for the last one - whom I bought it off.
The car replaces my supercharged, lsd'd, coilovered and fiddled-to-death Del Sol, and is supposed to be sort of my daily driver whenever it's done.
I also own a Nissan Pulsar GTi-R, which is mostly used during summer.
Anyway, here's a couple of pics of what it used to look like at least :
As there's not too many ek4's (or ek9's for that matter) here in norway, I figured this would be a good place to source ideas, get feedback, input and whatnot. On with the story!
