    An existential crisis in the form of 240SX Facebook Marketplace reviews. Every single one of these cars is a husk of its former glory. This is less like shopping for a car and more like deep sea diving to look at sunken ships.
    Just stop buying S chassis cars already. It's over. Buy a BRZ. Move on.

    Clout has done irreparable damage to the car community. So many nice cars got turned into literal scrap heaps. I firmly belive this is a result of the "respeck all buildz" movement, there is absolutely nothing to 'respect' with a Dodge Grand Caravan with tinted out lights/windows and a LED strip taped to the bottom for "underglow" or the seemingly infinte supply of Subarus that get their exhausts chopped to make as much noise as possible on their daily commute between taco bell and their moms house

The interior is so close to showroom condition that you'd think it was a 1 year old car. It makes total sense that only the stock cars driven by people who drive like responsible adults are the only ones that haven't been totaled. Makes total sense.
      These are FANTASTIC cars on which NOTHING fails if you leave it stock. These things are bulletproof.
      And you could change the oil and filter with your eyes closed. It's so easy. It's a dream car (Except that it'd be nice if it had 180HP instead of 155 HP, and an LSD up here in the Seattle rain, and it only gets 22 MPG city/highway).
      It's the only sporty car I know of that you can get a 2x12" guitar amp speaker cabinet in the back of (without even having to put the rear seat down).

Other than that most S13s put up for sale are either pretend drift cars or have some issues the sellers don't want to repair and if you would like to buy one that has never been modified you would have to pay €22000 / $23500 or even more.

    True story, I saw an automatic black S14 that looked really nice on the outside but had serious underbody rust issues that sold for $6000. Months later, I saw the same car (plus a donor frame) sold for $8000 by the same guy who bought it for $6k. Turns out that when he got it his friends were making fun of his ass on his FB profile for buying the rustiest S14 on the market. I guess he got hit hard by post-nut clarity afterwards because despite getting a frame donor he never fixed the rust. I think he wanted to use small patch panels here and there but later realized that the entire underside needed one big ass patch and just gave up. I suspect it'll be passed around on temp tags by clout chasers before finally being parted out a year later.

    I unfortunately live in the northeast. My state has switched to a chemical spray on the roads in the winters that destroys cars so much faster than salt. Water activates the chemical so you cant even just wash it off in the winters. If you have any exposed metal, it will rust. My current vehicle is mechanically mint, 140k on it with at least another 60k left to give. You can't tell it has any rust because I was meticulous with cleaning... until you look underneath. It is almost scared to put it on a lift level of rust. Honestly heartbroken.

I have 2 coworkers who slammed their cars (one of whom also stanced his). They're constantly having to do suspension work amd alignments and the one with the stanced car had to replace his oil pan due to damage.
    The only suspension kit I'd considet getting at this point is the HFP suspension.

    20:30 - 20:45.
    Not too similar.
    For my 2000 Toyota Celica GT, I took one of my days off, and a trip to various stores to drop my entire exhaust because it was straight piped from the previous owner. I replaced my parking brake cables due to a drum to disc conversion, and installed a factory exhaust. I went over to a friends house since I live on a slight hill, and they have a flat driveway. I jacked it up on all 4's and got to work. The factory exhaust cost me a little less than $500, and roughly 12 hours of my time. I did 95% of the work by myself. I had a little help from my sister, but not a lot. Also rented the O2 Sensor tool from Advance Auto for $50, then returned it next day.
    No P0420 code since there was a spacer on the downstream sensor. I couldn't get the spacer off and the spacer wouldn't thread into the new converter, so I hung it behind the heat shield until I could buy a new one. I didn't drive for more than a week before replacing it with DENSO one. It caused a very bad exhaust leak which practically knocked out cylinder 1. Now it runs just fine and is 100% way quieter. 200k+ miles on the 1zz going strong.
    Not just a clutch job, but with a day or two off, and the proper parts/amount of money, a lot of these cars can be helped.
