Yeah, S13's are lighter, I was looking for a fastback for a while before I found my car (S14). I'm surprised you haven't found one.. they are pretty common.

Are you going to the autocross school next week? I wanted to run it but I have to work saturday. :( I'll probably stop by sunday and hang out for a while.

Yeah I know, that's why I said I'd hang out.. not run ;)

I'd try to stay away from a dealer anyway. They will try to screw you. I found my car on eBay, it was in Cincinatti. Better to find one locally, obviously, but sometimes you gotta travel..

oh yeah, on the dealers screwing ya thing. when i driove that 240 the dealer was telling me that there wasn't anything major wrong with the boging of the engine. and not to worry about it.

don't forget autotrader

You're doing some SCCA stuff too? I've been wanting to go get my license, but I've decided it's pointless until I get something that isn't a piece.

IIRC base model 89-90's are the lightest.
