Post

HI, just wanted to introduce myself.Right now i dont own a car, my baby blue got totalled late last month and ive been looking for a new project car. ive always liked early 90`s S13`s and late 90`s S14. (sorry guys with the mid 90`s S14...) i had been debateing on getting a new SRT-4 and leaving it stock (yeah... right) or getting a 92/93 S13 dropping in an SR20DET or RB25DET and makeing a menice of myself at the local 'cruse strip. i have obviously decided on the latter... hence.. why im here.Im no stranger to excessive tuning to get the car right. or to busted knuckles and long down time. I had just replaced the clutch in Baby Blue 2 days before some moron cut across traffic and got T-Boned.Anyway, baby blue was a Supercharged 2002 Saturn SC2. like i said, no stranger to tuneing. unfortunately she never saw the rollers after the blower was installed but best estimates put 170FWHP (up from 110stock) (also why i had to ditch the stock paper-plate clutch with an ACT 4puck) Ive been around on MANY forums before so i know the code of conduct. (nice flashy SEARCH button.. wish we had that on turbosaturns.net)so far ive gotten alot of goooooood info. well thats all for me for now. -DA

Welcome Apollo. Good choice of vehicles. This is one of the best places to find out anything about the S13 and S14. Be sure to use the seach for just about anything you need. I have learned A Ton of things just by seaching. Good Luck!

Exactly! Also, you can get quite a bit of attention/odd looks at meeting spots by running up and kneeing the hell out of the doors..ahhh, the good old days :)

Welcome to NICO, you can learn alot about the 240sx on this board. You should consider turboing the KA, they are pretty strong motors and alot easier to replace than the SR20 in emergencies :\ Just my opinion in the matter.....

well. a friend of a friend has an `89 240 with the SR20 with all goodies (FMIC etc..) 1/2 way swapped (engine is sitting on the floor and the 240 is with out engine). he is selling it for $4k. i think ill wait till the swap is done and the car is running. he wants to get rid of it before the gas prices go up and more, and ive been with out a car for 4 months now (3 months the saturn was on down time, got it running then it got wrecked last month)
