3/23/17- Going into the Shop... and a little surprise!

Now that I am back from the California trip with Phonexius, KeeJay and the gang it was time to pick back up where I left off. The S200 was in dire need of a paint job, as it had become Nissan 240 like with all the missed matched panels. Fortunately, I had a little spare time and dropped it off at Green Slip Automotive in order to get a sweet new paint job. there will be no hints on the color.. you will just have to wait and see



So right now I bet you are thinking, "well Nic, how are you going to get to work if the s2000 is in the shop?" Well I am glad you asked, because while on the trip to Japan I was able to drop by the Auctions and eye a few cars. One that really stood out to me was this very good condition Civic SiR!





Yes I just bought another right hand drive.. BUT this one is actually from the factory lol. This is a 91 year model in the beautiful Granada Black Pearl with the B16A and 5-speed MT. I had been Scouting this car for a few months now actually, just waiting for it to reach the Auction block. And when I finally got to Japan and was able to see it in person I know I had to have it. Its condition is immaculate, especially for a car with just under 100km on the Clock. The Civic is bone stock with the exception of the 16 inch wheels. I believe they are off of a dc2 integra! and the best part about it all is I was able to get this car home for only V$8,900




And when I say home, I do mean my actual home back here in the states. The car arrived yesterday and was cleared by customs at 1:45am this morning. They scanned it for foreign contaminants, checked my Japanese bill of sale, The de-registration title from Japan, ALL my shipping info, my license, proof of where I live and gave me the USA spec registration in order to register it here. A big thank you goes out to Japanese Classics LLC. as they are the cool guys who got this car over here in one piece. After retrieving the car, I drove it right out of the docks and right to the DMV to get registered. I was able to keep my old plates so the Car is actually ready to rock! Can't wait to see the guys face when I pull up in this at work!
