No dents or dings. Only thing is that it's an autotragic. I guess I could go manual if/when I do an SR swap. What do you guys think? 110k miles

Cool... I just confirmed it... Picking it up next week Friday. So a '97 would be considered an S14 right? Here's the link to it.

I figure it's something that I can work on slowly and do right the first time. I have a built 13 second all motor neon so I learned alot building that car. Figure suspension and brakes would be the first thing that I tackle and eventually an SR. Thanks for the advice guys... Glad that I'm joining the club

Enjoy your ride man .... I also have an S14 and let me tell you I love it to death. I had a S13 and sold it. Both amazing cars. None the less you will love the car.. S14 have more suspension roll in them then S13 some suspension work solves that very nicely. Make sure you do a nice tune up / and get fuilds and filters changed. Sorry to hear about the automatic :( mines 5 speed.

That's the plan. Change all the fluids. Get the suspension and brakes right and then finally engine and transmission swap. I've been debating with the JIC-Magic entry level coilovers vs, the Tein HAs. The HA is at least more adjustable albeit only on dampening... It might be worth saving a bit more and getting the HEs. I wanna do everything right on this car the first time. Those of you that have aftermarket sway bars, where did you get yours from. I'd like fairly thick ones. I run 24mms on my 2300lb neon that I run on track days so at least that thick or thicker I'm thinking would be ideal for the 240...
