I told the tech writer that it was a base, but he decided to do the LE thing. Like I said didn't get to read it before they printed it.

i saw this car at HIN a year back or so, when you had the chromed out KA.

ruf · 05-16-2003, 09:46 AM

That is one of the cutest "import models" I've seen in a while. Thanks for making my day.

*CleanS14* · 05-16-2003, 10:38 AM

Guys forget the model... but she is cute though...

Scott... don't forget... you can always send your S14 to me and I will take care of it...

Don't reveal my identity...

formula02 · 05-16-2003, 10:44 AM

*CleanS14* · 05-16-2003, 10:50 AM

Sorry this post is so late, but I thought on an S14, if it has ABS, it has the VLSD. I have a base model with ABS/VLSD and I have a friend with an SE without ABS/VLSD. I don't think all SE/LE models came with VLSD. There was a site on the options for the 95 model, if I find it, I'll repost.

*CleanS14* · 05-16-2003, 08:13 PM

When I bought my first S14 back in 95 ABS/VLSD were optional. In some cases yes, the cars (SE/LE) did come with the ABS/LSD combo. I had to add ABS/LSD to the car I chose (SE) because it didn't have either. Back then having ABS saved me a few bucks on insurance since I was so young.

Surf Ninja · 05-16-2003, 09:27 PM

you know what ticks me off about some mags i have (this might be a little off topic) but on reader rides they'll have a plymoth neon with factory pouder coated wheels, and an apc licence plate frame and they like ride of the month 2nd only to a decked out rx 7 or somethin

KiDyNomiTe · 05-16-2003, 10:20 PM

Nice car, love the paint. The model is pretty good looking too. The models in those magazines have been pretty ugly as of late, glad to see they finally found some cute girls.

Anyways, easiest way to sell magazines these days is to put a hot girl on it. Guys ranging from 15-30 (there are some over 30

). Regardless of what the magazine is about they will pick it up.

When it comes to making money you gotta think of what sells, and just showing a car doesn't always sell, sex sells its been proven.

Any more pics of the car... girl... or even better a scan of the article and pics.

EDIT: found the pics and article here , but no pics of girl (maybe they are somewher on the site

).

Man they put on a lot of stickers.

formula02 - Whats the story with the Injen IC piping? Was that custom made by injen? or is that a kit?

Warwick5s · 05-18-2003, 11:55 AM

lol!

www.courtneyday.com

lol ya, she only looks good when she is far from the camera, up close she looks kinda wierd, juss her face, but who am I to judge

formula02 · 05-19-2003, 10:10 AM

I agree the pictures on her site are not good. But in person she looks as good as on the cover.

As for the Injen IC pipe that is a special deal I worked out with them. I was there first prototype car for the cold air intake so when I got the SR they gave me all the IC pipes continuing my sponsorship. As of right now they don't have plans for making a kit, but one of the owners does own an S14 with SR so who knows what they might make in the future.
