[Danny_S15]

absolutely awesome. nice to see a build from the ground up, would love to do one some day. well done

[TURBOS]

absolutely awsome build, love the way u go about things, very clean neat and functional, mad ride

[ant_s13sil]

very nice car, very clean!

couple of questions i assume since you drift it you havent had any problems, but how does the 215/40 go on the 9.5? i am getting 18x9.5s for my s13 and had asked around and general concensus was to go 225 as 215 is too narrow. so i was thinking 225/35 so i can go nice and low. but if 215/40s can go on they may be better?

and where did you get/how much were those weather shields? assuming theyre carbon?

[blingcommander]

origin carbon, through streeter........







i think nigel has a stalker

[Dragon180]

F$cken hell Nig,
You've built another HORN AS car, unfortunately you won't get this one on the front of DB. It's a damn shame!
Must catch up sometime soon and share your secrets.

[sneaky fujita]

This car of yours is amazing. You've added so many handmade touches and all the work is so clean it looks like it could well be OEM. The details are simply stunning.

I can openly admit i have less than none of the 'mad build skills' that you have, i am left in utter awe. Don't stop modding and please don't stop taking pics to show all of us.

Keep it up.....

[billyAHH]

i love the s13 silvias with stock body and wide ass rims... VERY SEXY CAR nigel well done man...

[HarryHighpants]

I think im obsessed with it...
