i'm looking for a new project and i can't decide. i would like to drift so i was thinking 240sx with sr20 swap but i hear they have quite a few little annoying problems. so i then thought about auto X and stuff and was thinking about doing an eg civic build but i really can't decide. What do you think i should do?

... for the install go directly to the source, there is a few guys on here that do it and ebay front mount kits are actually pretty solid for what they are and are cheap

stock turbo is cheap, but it is also a great time to upgrade

well i'm wondering id i'll have a hard time with the 240 cause i hear they can have there problems. i had a 1992 talon turbo all wheel drive and it was problematic and i can't deal with that at the moment so i'm wondering if a swap into the eg hatch would be better

any swap will give you headaches, you are dealing with motors from junked japanese cars, if you see half the shit they are selling still as a whole car you really have to wonder what kind of shape these cars were in that they get the motors from


if you want 0 headaches it will cost money.... but that will be a whole bunch of new headaches due to shipping time and a whack load of other problems involved in building a car

but really that is half the fun isnt it?
