i think the S13 with the S15 swap looks alot better, but that just my opinion, if i was you i would keep your 89, and put the S15 conversion on it.

you talkin bout getting the S15 SR20, and putting it in the S14, or the head light conversion on the S14, if you were talkin bout the S15 lights to S14, i was sayin that i think that light conversion looks better on the S13. I think I might have miss read what you were saying you wanted to do.

me personally i think it would be alot cheaper to get the S15 face on the S13, which looks just as good if not better then either S14, and keep your RB20, cause to get the S15 engine and tranny, you have to get th rear end also, if you want your speedo to work, and the S15 engine and tranny alone is usullay close to 3500, then you have to get the rear end, i have no clue how much it cost, and many complain that the six speed in the S15 SR it too weak for any power over like 300 or 350.

i got a new problem im trying to buy some aftermarket motor mounts on ebay and it wont let me purchase them keeps saying user cannot recieve payment at this time and i really need my motor in so i can sell it, now as far as keeping the rb its way cheaper to get a black top weather it be just a S14 blacktop or SR and you start off with a better base like HP and theres a ton more stuff for the SR i like the S14 im more in to the performance than how it looks i would be cool with it just being lowerd maybe a body kit . but have to first get the car i got now goingso if any of you know were i can get some motor mounts that would be awsome
