if you're not sure what direction you want to take then save your money.

but if the money is burning a hole in your pocket, then i suggest spending it on your suspension.

$1300 can buy a fine coilover system, NOS on an 89 is just asking for a blown motor, unless you have less than 100K on the ODO. Spend what you want on good suspension and save the rest. and NAAAWWWWWSSSSSS is not the cheap way for speed in cost of a kit, refilling the bottle, and the damage it can do to your motor. Be smart.

ya man, factor in the price of refilling the bottle over x amount of time and u would prolly get off cheaper w/ a turbo. I used to want to do the same thing, but all things considered, gettin an SR is prolly ur cheapest answer as long as ur not wanting the fastest S13 around.

they are right, nitrous does get expensive over time, but you can't afford a turbo either right now, what about internals???.

If I were you, I would put it into a cd and save it for spring and make a lil money while you do it.
