READERS’ RIDES

MATT WARREN’S NISSAN N13 SUNNY

FC says: This is up there with our favourite Readers’ Rides of all
time. What an unbelievably good, home-built, resto mod Matt
Warren has done on his N13 Nissan Sunny. It started life as a
1.3-litre base model that ran steel wheels and grey plastic bumpers.
But over time Matt has swapped out the engine for a 1.8 DOHC
from a Sunny ZX, painted the bumpers and added some ingenious
touches like the Golf front splitter and Beemer rear spoiler. And just
look how clean that engine bay is. We really can’t fault this build.
Matt, you have the respect of the entire FC ofice!

Main mods:
Sunny ZX engine and brake conversion; colour coded bumpers;
VW Golf front splitter; BMW rear spoiler and Toyota AE86
rear pods; Toyo Proxes tyres Spax springs and KYB shocks;
15-inch Smiths Shadow wheels.
