    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?

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

        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.

                  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.
