stock=priceless (IMO)
I do not remember the last time I sw a 91-94 STOCK B13 classic. I have decided that my SE-R is going to remain just that. My mission is to replace only original factory parts and restore this car to as close as new as I can. I appreciate this car beyond comprehension and I do not want to change it. Every time a friend or relative rides in my SE-R they are astonished at what year it is and how well it rides and handles, to me, there is no greater compliment. Can I get an AMEN?

This is something that I wouldn't personally do, I have to applaud you for it. I also love to see a clean, stock older car. Yesterday I saw an old Z31 Turbo 5spd at a nissan dealership. They said an older lady owned it and she wanted them to fix everything with OEM parts. It looked so clean, all stock just sitting there. I have never really liked that body style but that one made me change my mind.

I hear that. The stock B13 is fun fun fun. They still crop up on CL in the NW but invariably someone immediately destroys them.

For my purposes the funnest B13 I ever had was my old 1992 B13 that just had a few basic bolt-ons, hyperco/agx, and nicely set up ad22s. oh and 205/50 B14 rims.

I have similar, yet slightly different, thinking on my Classic. I followed what I felt and thought, my gameplan, modifying it to my personal Uber-Classic.

Chriscar informed me that the VW guys call my direction "OEM-plus."

If you would like your Classic to be USDM OEM-correct down to the very last nut and bolt.....DO IT.

I think that would be very, very cool.

I used to not think much of the stock 14x5.5's, but it excites me to see them on a clean, un-slammed SE-R.

I'd like to have a B13 SE-R that's not used up, faded, and stiff-legged like mine. It will probably have to be a DIY restoration project, though.

When I bought my B13, it had 85k miles, one owner, all stock. The suspension was first, then the brakes. If I could do anything, I'd make a car super-stock. upgrade brakes to NX, radiator too, better tires and have it as a daily. I can't wait to see a RESTOCK SE-R

I have always been more about the "show" then the "go". I stock super clean b13 classic is more of a "wow factor" then one that has been modified....that's not to say that there are not some sweet modifed B13's on here....it helps to have a deep wallet.
