S13

[325ix]

I'd love me an S13 one day. I think they look leaps and bounds better than the S14. I have heard they have a fairly floppy chassis. Have you noticed it?

[Holland]

Not my car. Don't know. Please don't make a big deal of it or I'll have to ask the mods to remove the thread out of respect for my friend.

It's cool. I was just curious as I don't live in CA.

[E30_Pare]

Sure, but does that mean you have to go to the same shady shop?

Pretty much. When the shop closes or gets shut down move onto the next one. There will always be modded cars so always be a need for illegal smog. Even for cars that don't pass smog in general.

No more than an E30.

I don't know about that I a have seen jacked up Silviers that can't open the doors cos the chassis twists. I know on the E30 I can open the door no problem when jacked up.

Really? I've had that problem with jacking up E30's before.

S13's definitely flex though.

yours is sweet.

Maybe there is a difference in rigidity between the early and late models. the 318is is also galvernised to stop rust.

My door can be almost impossible to open when there's a jack on the same side, and its a late model.

Where are you jacking from? Its much more prevalent from the stock jack point, as apposed to say, the frame rail.
