if you go with these guys make sure you call and ask what they have in stock and for how much. when i got my sr20 it said one price on the site and when i got there he said all the prices were wrong on the site but I ended up talking him into giving me a s13 blacktop for the price of a redtop.

it's just most people won't keep the engine because it has 170,000 miles on it, and most people wouldn't pay $7,000 for a shell

and also, i'm more of a coupe fan for s13's. I've seen lots of nice coupes and fastbacks, and i must say that when properly done, a coupe looks so much better.

Well, I've said this time and time again in the past to members; but what are your plans for the car? I know you said it was your daily driver, but will you do anything else? Drag? Drift? Autocross? What's your budget? You have to ask yourself these questions.

I don't think you'll be able to get the answers you REALLY want unless you're actively researching this forum and other resources. You can't just take the information you get on one thread and say "Okay", because someone said so. I'm sure you've read some here and there about SR20's and KA-T's, but it's obvious that you haven't done any real research, or you would KNOW which is right for you. The same goes for anything!

By asking broad, general questions, you will get broad, general answers. Once you've done more research and are able to ask more specific questions, then we should be able to help. I mean, you're 15. This is probably your first car, right? That's a big thing. So it's important to make sure that you build the car based on what YOU want and not the opinion of others.

I don't know you. Maybe your family is rich and your parents are willing to pay for everything that you do to your car. If so, that's great. If not, then research is very very important, and I can't stress that enough. Project cars are a big undertaking that usually require a LOT of money.

Sorry to rant on, but I hope with this you're able to narrow it all down. If I offended you in any way, I'm sorry--that wasn't my purpose, just thought you should know. Good luck with everything.

No it's most definately cool, i'll be researching a lot more when I actually pick up the car..just wanted too learn a little before I did. I don't think think I will be drifting..but you never know from what I hear a lot of people pick it up when they get a 240.

Yeah I'd also like to find a group of people in my area with 240's and make a club, that'd be a lot of fun.

its not a a little car club lol

Club-Racing is when a bunch of people come together and rent out a a track there alot of people and its not cheap and there are lots of rules and regulations to follow because on a real track a mistake can turn out really bad
