I picked up a 93 S13 5 speed that ran and drove with no title for $350 and planned on using all the parts for a 5 speed swap in my vert since Ill know al the parts work. I found a guy with a shop about an hour from me that would take whats left of the donor car in trade for use of his shop and doing the harder parts for the swap. Its all in and since I got no help from the forum, I just got it all fixed today shy of having to bench bleed the slave cylinder again when I get a day off.

The car feels great! The donor car also had a flowmaster on it so I used the cat bacl from that along with a high flow dynomax 3" cat I got earier. Ill post pics soon!

Nice! Feels like a whole different animal now right? You should get a lsd next and you'll never get out of the driver seat.

How's the cat back sound and can't wait to see the pics.

I planned on getting an LSD next even before I got the transmission swap done. The Exhaust sounds awesome. ITs only a high flow 3" cat with a stock diameter flowmaster muffler. Full 3" comes when I go turbo, I am semi actively seeking a header in the meantime though if anyone has one to sell. Sorry RJ, the donor was a hatch and is no longer mine.

I was just there and probably pulled a projector headlight off of the same J30 one of you got your vlsd from.
