That rx7 is gone.


fully built rb25+hollowed s13= wheeeeeee.

s14 is much nicer tho, less creaky i find..i LOVE my s14.

srt-4

tons of possibilities on a smaller budget, just drive some cars u think are potential projects and choose what you like. I am also annoyed by really dumb jokes i.e prius, funny guy:rolleyes:

rx7 is good if you dont mind rebuilding the engine before you even drive it. Hell on fuel tho....

Supra if youre a toyota fan. IMO, s13 is done alot, but its done alot for a reason

1. cost effective

2. Availability of parts is insane

3. Possiblities of engines are endless

4. Styling ahead of it's time.


S14 is mechanically the same as an s13, cept for the gas tank is COMPLETELY different, but in a good way. S14 is newer, less creaky, less abused in most cases. If you can find an automatic, you can save almost 1/2 on the price, and its very simple to change to 5 speed using s13 parts.

I have 2 nissan 200Sx's for sale.

Personally I love them. They arent really that common. Plus there are still lots of inexpensive options :)

I am doing a full restore on my 86 hatch and an sr20 swap. :dunno:

RWD and as light as hell.
