Very nice, what a difference to the original car. So how many Silvia's would there be in the Dominican Republic ? Where did you source your parts from?

It certainly looks a lot better then some of those other cars in the background lol

thanks guys for the comments! , it has taken a bit long to do it (+2 years) but i'm very happy with the end result.

That i know of, there should be around 15 to 20 S15 in the DR (maybe more), but if i count all silvias (s13 and s14) there are should be more than 70 i believe, all the parts are sourced either from japan through work shops around here (they normally bring front cuts, back cuts and different parts from stripped cars), from internet sites in the US (courtesyparts, nissanparts.cc, ebay, etc.) and some from guys in this forum.

Even thought we are a LHD country we were allowed to import JDM cars and use them like that (so a lot of silvias, glanzas, supras, rx7 were imported), but a few years ago the goverment reinforced the law that all cars must be LHD and won't allow any more RHD car import for road use...all cars that were imported needed to be changed to LHD as well...bunch of idiots runs our country bleh

haha, most of the cars in the background were abandoned by their owners (don't have any money to repair them) and leaved them in that work shop.
