S13 vs S14

Im Debating Which one to get, if i get the s14 i'd only have enough money to get the car, on the other hand i can find a cheap s13 and then buy an sr20 and it would be sleeper status, but i HATE the interior on the s13, its so bland to me, i dont think the s14 interior is too special either but, i dont know which way to go, and would just like some opinions or facts to help me decide as im not that knowledgeable of the potential or little details of both cars..

Search around on this forum. Im sure this has been covered before. The s13 is cheaper priced, easier to find, and has a lighter chasis. Imo, the s14 looks the best, but what ever you think is best for you is best for you.

Zenki 14s OWN YOU. "Wider is Better" Being able to look out your rear windshield(for hatches), visually appealing to the foxes.

s13 is lighter stock, also a lot cheaper to purchase. Sr swap it and swap the interior out with some stuff you don't find so bland.
instant hottness!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely s13...Im not sure of your financial status, but if you dont want a stock s14 for a long period of time, s13 is the obvious choice...There's alot of support on here for either model, so do what's best for you..

Buying an s13 will leave you with extra cash to buy some instant mods...on the other hand finding an s14 might mean lower miles...Its up to you personally i really like the s13's they seem more agressive except the 97-98's front lights look very shwinging!

you can make the S13 so sweet.. only if you do it right.

to have a very nice exterior (for a S13) you need about $2500
perfect suspention > about $1000
a beast under the hood > about $3500 - $4000.

still want an S13 ?

You want a clean nice exterior. Here's what you do. Type X valence for about 200 maybe, front lip would be around 80 max, maybe 20 if you junk yard it, some small wing around another 200. That's what, 480 right? get some nice sideskirts maybe 300 max. 780 bucks, damn, you just got yourself a nice looking car.

It's all up to you. I prefer the S13 as it's lighter and will be cheaper to start with. Either way, be happy with the choice you've made.

I found some adobe list of "You are what you drive" online one day. Under S13 and S14 it said:

"S13 owners brag about how much their car is a real Japanese Sports Car but, don't realize they have a truck engine under the hood"

"S14 owners (read above for the S13 Nissan 240sx but, add "DAAAAMN, IT LOOKS GOOD")"

I forget where I read that but, I thought it was pretty funny. They have almost every car on that list.
