For rims look into Volk/Rays engin. Very good selection but VERY pricey. Have ya looked into other engine swaps? On coilovers..Teins are always get..The HA and HE are a good start. There JIC..Apex'I..many more. And..there isnt a S14 JDM conversion...unless ur talking about the more aggressive headlights..thats just a kouki conversion.

Do not get a SR swap because you would die and I would not like that. Nor would your parents.

Get the car fixed.

You didn't put where you are from but after it is back to stock level get yourself to a Evolution school, some autoX and a legal drift event.

Get yourself some seat time.

Listen to the other drivers.

Find a local 240 crew where you can see, feel and test the parts before someone from a website tells you they are the "cool **** yo!".

There are some crews out there that run "big brother" type programs and will help you out.

If you are in the NE or tri-state area you can come hang out with my crew.

i'm not one to be a bandwagon jumper, but i have to agree w/what Stan put out. damn near everything i wanted to say (Stan's psychic and he stole my post ). seriously, if u plan on making ur car faster, learn more about driving/controlling it at stock level.
