im thinkin about trading my 91 fastback for a 93 coupe, same rims( sportmax 002's) same suspention (tien flex) just on a coupe. o ya an instead of an rb20 it would be a ca18. i wanted to get some ppl to post up ther coupes on this tread if they could just to give me an idea of what it would look like lowered, rims an whatever else. an what u think of the deal????

 

Here's pics of my 92, but it's not lowered nor does it have rims.

so what happened to the rb in your hatch? that motor ran great for like 20k miles ca18det is even a downgrade from a kade imo

 

^^^ he blew it up. He was going to get on the highway to trade his car for a stock jetta ('97) and he hit a bump. He punctured his oil pan and never bothered to stop and check to see if it was ok. It seized. He is now going to trade it for a CA, but at least it runs.... for now, lol.

 

dude i think that bump was a blessing LOL any nissan > jetta lol

 

it wasn't that bad of a bump, my oil pan was already pretty bad when i got it so when i hit the lil bump i just didn't think anything of it , and idk what the fu*k i was thinking trading for a jetta but for some reason it was good that happend cuz id rather have a blown rb 240 than a jetta. an the only reason i was trading is cuz my girls pregnant an s13's aint very baby friendly, lol. but now i have a gay 97 honda 4 a dayly driver so i can work on it an i like how coups look, also i could always take the ca out a put somthing different in if i want to

 

IMO the coupe looks better from the back, the fastback looks better from the front. I'm sure if you just google'd it you could find a crapload of coupe pictures.

 

just put another rb20 in there, it will be much more rewarding than an sr or ca18, plus, you already have the xmember and wiring done, itll be a simple swap, maybe 4hrs max.

 

ya i know i thought about that an just an rb engine without tran, harnes or anything isn't alot of money at all i just have to find one

 

yah you should be able to get a block/head for about $800 and just reuse the tranny, manifolds, turbo, piping etc.

 

owning both a 240 and a jetta i'd have to agree.

 

im definitely not fu*king doin that trade now... i was kinda sneaky an i went on nico an he has a profile on it a shi*. well hes talking to a bunch of ppl about the deal we kinda worked out an all the stuff wrong with his car. just dont seem like a good deal on my end even without an engin. plus i love my car haha, an im not trading for a bone stock coup thats all crapy wit a ca an a fmic

 

heres my coupe with an rb20

 

whats with all the trash talkin of the CA? i mean, its a perfectly capable motor, and its been known to rev to 10k easily. there is nothing wrong with it. heck, it even has compatable parts with the CA that is in america already.

 

You said the hatch looks better from the front? don't they both look the same from the front?
