The offset on the back wheels looks painfully high.

But its a start i supposes, once the BUILD actually gets going im sure you will get better fitting wheels

Look forward to seeing what happens in your build, seems to be a pretty good base to start with. I'm a sucker for s13 coupes.

I'm not gonna build some crazy 500whp beast, probly just a mildly boosted 225-250hp motor, and get some lowering springs for it. That's my first priority, but after that I'd like to put a chin spoiler and a new back bumper on and paint the car white. I've got a couple extra corbeau seats laying around so I'll put those in. It's got an automatic in it now and that's gotta go too, but it all depends on money tho, I'm 16 and my most reliable source of income is doing oil and brakes for my friends so it might take a while. The dash is cracked to, so if anyone out there has one laying around please lmk.

they're high school kids. their income sucks a** and they want to upgrade the look of their cars. does it hurt you in any way? no, so don't worry about it.

why? if all he is going to do is tool around on the street, then a decent strut/spring combo will suit him just fine.

op, do what you want with your car. research everything and create soemthing that will please you, not the hordes of anonymous people on the internet who want others to "build" their cars in the image of the masses. you have a decent starting base, just get it up to par on maintenance and go from there.

Yeah, but i'm a high school student in football, and my parents make me go to a prep school, so i have no time to get a job. All my money comes from weekend odd jobs and birthday/christmas etc. We're looking at about a grand a year here.

It was $2250, and yeah i'm gonna put a five speed in it. I'm planning on pulling the motor around christmas break and rebuilding, turbocharging, and freshening up my KADE as well as the five speed swap.

Did that bad plastic A/C gear cause a odd clicking noise? Because on my car when i put the Air all the way cold or all the way hot it makes a clicking noise like the gear is slipping. Don't know what it is, annoys me like CRAZY!

I don't think so because the hot/cold uses a lever and a wire that just turns an arm, the vents (defroster to dash & vice versa) are the only ones that use a servo. Just pull the dash and take a look, label all your screws tho, it only takes a couple hours if that.
