Yes, I've done long trips in an S30 - brilliant cars.A quick service on Friday of oil & filter, a check through the brakes & adjust the rear shoes,

Then took a trip up the M4 to Esher in SE London the weekend to catch up with some old friends at a Volkswagen/Porsche show,

I forgot how good it was for long trips cruising on the motorway, 4ish hours either way & apart from being a bit noisy (going over 4000RPM on cam overtaking) it behaved faultlessly and drew quite a bit of attention in the car park, took me half and hour of chatting to people about it before I could even to get into the show,
I realised how practical the S30 is for a classic especially when compared to some of my old Porsches & Volkswagens I used to drive all over the county to shows, pretty easy to maintain, 5 speed, good heaters, decent wipers, enough room for a weekend bag and so on.
Looking forward to the other shows and road trips this year now

Good stuff! That's an investment. I fitted a stainless pipe to mine in 2011 (maybe 2010) and it's been great.New exhaust made and fitted this week. I’ve left the scorpion back box alone and just had the rest made including new Euro 5 cats. It’s not too loud just fruity when revved. It’s is full stainless with a 2.5 inch bore which is not over the top. View attachment 62123View attachment 62124View attachment 62125View attachment 62126View attachment 62127
Jon Bills and I noticed that the hatch will stay in any position you put it in. The struts do not lift it open. !Previous owner seems to have added an extra hatch strut. Seen this before when the original gas strut got a little bit discharged over time.
Whats the plan with the exhaust . ? I had a company make a stainless steel one for my car ages ago and still like new , and a great sound to itThat is a lovely colour … what’s the sticker on the bumper say and that other writing also? Looks so clean without the sidestrips.
