Question new car...what to fix??

hey guys...i'm one of the newbies here. anyways, i just bought a 93 s13 hb and i had a couple of questions.

1. are there any parts of the chasis that you guys have major problems with? it's a pretty old chasis and i want to make sure i stiffen the body before doing anything crazy.

2. any s13 characterisc problems that i should look out for?

any suggestions would help.

yeah learn the car before you try anything crazy. i see people all the time go from a civic to somthing rwd and crash the car because they dont know how to handle it. now past that just look for rust under the car and if your safe on that then i guess thats really it with saftey. if it has a stock spoiler thier is usually rust under it. thats all i can think of now, good luck with it, be safe and welcome to the family. :-)

1. the engine light has a habit of flicking on and off, it usually is your AIV unit

2. try getting fender braces and strut bars to stiffen the chassis

3.and i guess watch your rear tire pressure, after logn days of driving hard, they tend to seem flat....well in ym case anyhow, and welcome to the 240 family ^_^
