History:
I recently purchased the car for $1750 with only 148,000 KM on it, which is just under 90,000 miles. This is crazy low mileage for this old of a car, so I found this to be a steal. the car has a stock ripple bend 1.75" exhaust, so that needs to be swapped out for a 2" mandrel bent exhaust. i'm going to put in a glasspack just behind the catalytic converter, and put on a 2.5" outlet high flow muffler, which should give it a pretty deep sound for a 1.6L. It handles wonderfully with better stock suspension than the other b12 models, and though it's not the most powerful engine, with only a 2000lb body, it's got alot of pull. A lot faster than my '89 mazda b2200 5spd truck. That thing is a slug hah.
Update: Luckily some EuroCams popped up so I just ordered mine! it'll be good to have the most significant bolt-on part at my disposal. supposedly good for 20hp at the flywheel, as rated by Nissan.
Here are some Pictures:

Interior:
I didn't like the accordian style shift boot that came with the car originally, so i found a leather shift boot that worked! check out the cosmetic page for info.
So this came with the base option AM/FM stereo. No tape deck even haha. I bought a sony CD deck, and it does me just fine :).
Under the bonnet:
You can see there that I've added a Front Strut tower bar. it helps a bit with body roll. Also added a nismo oil cap. looks a lot nicer than the original plastic cap, and still has the proper rubber seal on the bottom.
