Have been looking for a clean S13 hatch to swap my RB20 back into. Well I looked and looked then gave up on looking and just waited around till one would fall into my lap. Welp it didn't but I did get a good deal on a 95 S14, Not what I was looking for but it was sooooo cheap I couldn't pass it up. Needs work tho but I have time and some money.
1st mod interior lol.
Got my new 240

Nice find man, good to see you got a straight body on 240 now since your other one bit the dust, you'll like the extra engine bay space in the S14 as well. Its just a tad bigger.
Although i still like s13 dashes better. : )

did you get the interior with the car?you made a good choice man, s14 is a MUCH better chassis than the s13, its only a few lbs heavier but damn the improvement in chassis design is most certianly worth it.kansei240sx is right, there is MUCH more room to work with in the s14 engine bay, much nicer than the s13's cramped quarters.clean it up and what not and you should be mint......

Re: (Carl H)
good find....
if i had a chance like u did, i would have picked it up to for cheap...
on the other hand, i wouldn't pay more then $3K for a S14 mainly JUST because i really hate the way the @ss looks...it really disqusts me...thats why i love the s13 hatches...

Re: (240convert)
It's going to take alot of cleaning lol. it will prob need a paint job too but it's no where as bad as my last car. Not bad for a 1k car so far.

Awesome bud... where'd you find it? What's the plan/timeline looking like for this one? Motor, body mods or chassis/suspension first? Need to find some SE hubs for that one... ditch those lead weights, I mean wheels you've got on there while your at it... I mean... I wouldn't be complaining for the price... but I think you know what I'm saying.

Re: (rbsileighty)
Not sure yet. The motor isn't going right back in because I want to do some upgrades to it while it's out. SE 5 lug hubs or those 5 lug hubs from phase2. I have some Stock SE wheels that I bought a few months back before my car got hit. Suspension I'm not sure which 1 to go with. I really want to try out that new Tanabe Sustec Pro 7 but I might just say fark it and put some cheap megan racing coil overs on. The car prob won't run till FEB of 06 lol, I have alot of crap to buy and install.rbsileighty wrote:Awesome bud... where'd you find it? What's the plan/timeline looking like for this one?

Re: (Yellow4g63)
If you can swing it... Kei Office XT's... you won't regret it. Mine are excellent and well worth the price if your going to spend the money. The ride is really really good considering 10k front 8k rear... actually significantly better than Hybridone's old S14.5 with the RB20 and FLT-A2's that have a lower spring rate (says a lot for the KO valving).
Drift Factory has good prices on them... wish I had bought mine from them back when I ordered them... instead paid to much from another company who got them grey market back a little over a year ago before they were released in the states.
Yeah, get those stockers on there with some SE/conversion hubs. If you can pick up some new hubs go for it since that would be one less thing you have to worry about going out on you down the road...
Check these wheels out too... http://www.rotawheels.com/news.php?id=3Not sure how much they weigh... but the do look good on a S14
