new member - lots o' questions
 

Don't worry I will search for answers :).

I just bought a 1995 s14 with 107k miles. It's stock with exception of wheel spacers, suspension upgrades (with adjustable stiffness).

The clutch feels like it's going to go soon. The stock exhaust has many holes in it.

I'm a 38 year old professional. I'm cash poor, but I can probably save $1000/ month to get this car a reliable 200-250 whp commuter. Maybe with s15 body parts.

I had a s13 with sr20. It was a sort of money pit. I chose a ****ty shop to do the work. Gt2871, fmic, megan coilovers, etc. Then exhaust gear spun off of cam and I sold it for parts.

Just thought id say hey.

I'm in market for 3"cat back now. An exhaust that would work with my ka, or if I plan to goto sr20 again.

need:
exhaust
paint
clutch
performance
stereo (I was in audio installation business for 10 years)
body parts(s15)

What is your profession? HAHA. Welcome to S-Chassis.

You have any pictures of your car to post?

welcome to the site, most of what you need will be already discussed. post up some pictures if you have them.

I'm an electrical engineer - about to become 'management consultant'. I have experience in installing radios in cars, teaching car stereo at installers institute (acoustics, electronics, fabrication, upholstery, etc.. etc..), then making cell phones, satellite transceivers, military smart radios, now cell tower beamforming antennas-- you know, the usual kinda stuff.

Welcome to the forum, I like that car. I want a S14!

What are your plans for this car?

Nice car, welcome!

I'm not looking to make it a monster. just a reliable fast commuter.

I sold my 911 carrera4 recently to fix my high debt issues. I've had audi rs6, 350z, (newer)Holden GTOs, C32 AMG, ..... basically many many types of cars. I'm looking for performance figures in the 911 neighborhood.

Are you gonna track the car at all?

So you sold all of those great cars and purchased . . . .a 240?

Okay . . .you know, most of us will still think you're cool without an "awesome background"

it would be fun to track it. i have owned cars i would 1/4 mile for 'bragging rights'. im a pretty average autocrosser. i just dont want the added mainatenance costs

lol, "awesome background". i've had a 'buying problem' serious spending issues. i'm trying to tone it down and still be able to accelerate rapidly. nothing beats a light weight rwd car. the s14 is such a good looking car! this is my attempt to having no car pmt! no credit card bills. no one should envy $1400. mo car pmts.

Only jealous ones envy, and the only time to be jealous is if 1400 bucks a month is no sweat off your wallet, LMAO!

That's a good looking 14, lets see some progress . . .

you have a V8 in yours? teach me how to put one in mine on a budget and i'll see to it that you live to be 1000 years old!

he drives a mustang :complain:

no car payment FTW.. i'll NEVER have one as long as i live.

probably same here, unless i just so happen to pass buy a buy here pay here that has an r34, thats light blue, and needs a little bit of work..(not from 2 fast 2 furious or anything....hahahha.) thats the only time i would do it.

anyways welcome.

R32 or R33 I would love to have also.

Welcome sweet wheels :)

eh. i don't care for the R33's too much at all....

r32<33
r34<33

that's cause you have not driven one

owning it changes your mind. they are not bad at all. very nimble

see? I don't do THAT . . .

wait, the actual 'wheels'? can you guess what kind of wheels are on my 240>? :)

((i don't think I hav e much +1 to share))

Yeah, I drive a 2001 Bullitt . . .

Although, I will promise you that if you simply remain patient and don't "rush" things, you'll be able to do a V8 swap cheaper than almost anyone else.

I really dig mustangs, my sister's husband 'was' (:() CEO of Saleen! But I never cashed in the favors!

Ya' gotta take advantage man!:ylsuper:

1999 Mustang GT wheels


****USMCDrifter- sweet pic

is that tacky to have mustang wheels on japanese car? they sure fit. and 245s all the way around is pretty sweet.

if they work for you :thumb: I like it

when i was shopping for an s14, i almost changed course and got this 1982 mustang. it was restored and had some awesome bored out V8 (probably was once a 302). it looked so good for its age. that front end was ahead of its time i think.
