My friends are telling me to just wait for a 5-speed. So, Jaypat, what's the news on those 6 240's?

Good advice especially if you are going to college. No need to have a tinker car. Though the S13/S14 isn't the most reliable car to begin with. :( but damn I still love the bastards. :D

I disagree you can get a 92 and up Miata for a good price and they are so much fun to drive and really reliable. MMMM Miata. :D

Whoa...that's pretty sexy actually. I used to not care for Miatas, but I actually kind of like them now if they are done right. (read: not 40 year old woman driving it)

They make Miatas in Japan with fixed tops, otherwise all Miatas can use a fixed painted hardtop that Mazda offers as an accessory.

Thanks. But hey, I was thinking about this for a while, and I think it's best to just wait for a stick shift because I'm gonna be driving this car from Alpharetta to Athens pretty often, and I wouldn't know where to get a quality transmission swap. I could stay with the automatic for a year before I get a turbo engine, but I called the person today and he said he used it as his tow "truck" by bolting a hitch behind the car, so I think that's why he's selling it so cheap. Pulling heavy trailers and such must have worn out his engine in some way.

Cool.

Hey I've just decided that I want a 95 stick. I've sat in an S13 and it was wayy too small for me. Plus, can't forget zenki S14 ***. I know, this is gonna be a hard search. ::sigh:: Oh well, no regrets, right?

Hey JayPat, do you by any chance know of a place that does quality transmission conversions for cheap?

I'm looking for one with under 150k miles that costs less than $5000. So, cool. Could you give me their numbers when you have time, like maybe over the weekend? Thanks, dude. If you find more, please let me know.

How much does S15 front end conversion cost on an S14? And by driveable, do you mean the frame is in perfect condition?

I just came back from Deal's Gap. Haha, it was pretty fun sitting in the passenger seat cuz I don't have a friggin car! Haha.

BTW, my e-mail is [email protected]
