So, since I left Japan, the bug has bit me hard. I stumbled on this local 180SX Type X for sale, and jumped on it as soon as I could. Same night I saw it, I messaged the seller, went and met him, and took the car home.

It's a '96 180SX Type X. It's completely stock, except for a cat-back, and a set of Model 6's. It's crazy how nice a bone-stock S-Chassis is. Everything works, and it feels so complete.

The first pic;

I took it out for a cruise, to run some errands, and I am obsessed with this car.

The only thing that bothers me, is that it's missing the center valence, so I'll need to source a new OEM one.

You can see the sun spots, on the hood, that need to be taken care of. Got a quote from my friend at Cove Customs, in MA, to paint the; hood, roof, bumper, and blend it all, as well as a full exterior detail for $600. So I think I'll move forward with that. He did an excellent job, on a Miata, in the past for me.

All tucked away;
