    Default 180sx Endless money pit "Go Big or Go Home"

    so i bought a kouki 180 as a bit of an impulse buy, i had been imported into ireland about 6 years ago by an old man living down the road from me who made his money in the boom as a block layer, he imported afew jap yokes at once like a supra rx7 s14 i have no idea why he imported them but im not complaining because i picked it up for half nothing, he never drove them he just had them gathering dust in a shed. no1 realy knew the cars were there but when i found out i chanced my arm and made him an offer for the unregistered untouched mint s13.

    im changing my mind every second day on what i will do with it, some people are saying vrt and keep the kouki kit but i have no interest, iv had it now afew month but iv only decided to start a build thread now, since iv gotten it i put in a 2 way cusco diff and zeal function coilovers and i have an origin kit and a set of viennas, im kinda trying to sell the viennas because i want something abit crazyier but then again they owe me alot of money so im not too sure would it be worth my while shifting them on

    the unfortunit thing lads is that i cant realy afford the insurance, (at the moment" im only 19 and i only found one company to insure me and they want €3500, i expected insurance to be expensive but not to that extent, i know the kouki kit is sweet and all but my heart was set on a BN kit, the origin kit will more than likely never be the final kit i settle with but i suppose it is handy to have a spare kit. i also didnt just buy the car to drive it, i also bought it as a project and wanted to go balls deep into the project, i like to do things on a big scale, go big or go home is a big moto of mine, probly should have named the thread "go big or go home"
