NC SC CHAT

[JDMEnthused]

wes i would so buy your hatch. i know theres a few problems like the hood, tires, the hatch has the holes from the spoiler and the subframe bushings. all i want is the car to be driveable and smooth. you said awhile ago it needs new tie rods. what happened to that? cuz last time you drove me in it, it was totaly out of control and all over the road.

the tie rods were replaced with oem units, its just the subframe bushings are saggy and need to be replaced should be more than 150( for aluminum units that u wont ever have to replace) and the tires.

awsome man, i'll start parting the car out i guess or saving up. does the s14 transmission hook up to the s13 KA? just curious.

[scs13]

is your s14 a 5spd?

[Black on Gold]

yes it is. and im wondering if im going to keep the transmission or not to do the swap and what other parts i need.

[scs13]

in what car are you talking about? the s13? are you planning on doing a motor swap anytime in the future?

[Black on Gold]

my 14 is 5spd, wes' hatch is auto. i was wondering about doing a swap. what all it would take. well im sure i'd swap in a new KA or something like that yea. i know what your going to say. lol. "just keep the transmission until you have the new engine you'll be swapping and and then do the conversion" am i right?

i have a stuffed nose, its 1:37 and i cant sleep, i have school in the morning and i cant stop thinking of cars

[scs13]

haha yeah. if you were ever gonna put another motor in it then you might as well wait and save some money.

[Black on Gold]

im wondering if i should do the swap or not because someone is intrested in the transmission and i'd love to keep it and do the swap and on the other hand i need money lol

[scs13]

yeah idk what to tell you. are you for sure buying wes's car?

[Black on Gold]

the only s13 around here for sale and at a good price

[scs13]

i see. theres like 3 240s for sale in the iwanna's here for like 1500 or less.

[JDMEnthused]

awsome man, i'll start parting the car out i guess or saving up. does the s14 transmission hook up to the s13 KA? just curious.

yeah.. they are the same motor and the bellhousing is the same.

[Black on Gold]

whats your opinion right now wes, keep the transmission until the summer and swap in the turbo and 5spd or just sell the transmission and buy a new one in the summer?

[scs13]

[maxima278]

I emailed a guy a few months ago at Tophat asking questions about their stuff, and he told me they sell a rebuilt 5spd trans for $600 with a year warranty, so if you could get anywhere close to that by selling yours then you're getting good money. That seems like a good deal to me.

[Black on Gold]

yea well should i just go ahead and sell it? should i just keep the clutch pedal and the short shifter?

[maxima278]

yeah, if you're getting good money for it. honestly I would sell as little as possible off that s14 cause you could still make it awesome later and I'd bet you any amount of money you will want to. Don't sell anything for any less than you would have to buy it back for later

[maxima278]

btw on the classifieds right now there's 2 sets of headlights 97-98 and 95-96 for $200-$225. just in case you change your mind.

I'm about to cry. there's an awesome deal on an SR20 with a turbo upgrade and an apexi n1 exhaust on there in ATL for $2000. Talk about bad timing. If I had any way to get that I would so jump on it.

[JDMEnthused]

such a confusing matter.. keep the transmission case and everything for right now. and in the summer buy new internals for it and rebuild it.

awesome solution, you get the best of both worlds, its inexpensive and easy.

best solution, cant be beat for the money and time.

[scs13]

hmmm. its gonna be hard for you to not part out much of that car AND buy an s13 isnt it? id want to keep the s14 though but im sure i wouldnt be able to unless i just went ahead and fixed it.

[Black on Gold]

yea, well the whole front frame is gone. i took pieces off yesterday and i can just tell everything from the radiator forward is done including the frame. well i have other things i might be selling also. i have my subs that im not sure if im going to keep yet or not, trying to get rid of my ipod and then me and wes have some "work" to do. all i need right now is 900. i am buying your car Wes just please dont get rid of it. i have a few plans for it already lol. I'll have to get a job anyway once i get the new tires put on and subframe bushings fixed because i'll have to make up for the insurance =/

[JDMEnthused]

alright man, itll be here. just tell me when you are ready to come and get it. ill help with everything you need/want done. and we do have to work on some stuff heh

later bro.

[scs13]

my brothers gonna cry cause he wanted to buy that car. i think he should get a starion/conquest though, it would be ultra mega cool.

[maxima278]

good luck finding one of those! I haven't seen one on the road in years.

[scs13]

he is looking at trying to buy an 87 conquest tsi right now, 54k on rebuilt engine and 100k+ on the body, guy says the body only has a little ding on it, 15g turbo, 1900 obo. and a guy is wanting to buy his 89 accord possibly, but he would still need to find a place to get a loan for 1000-1500. anybody know the best option for that?

[Black on Gold]

haha alright man. dad and i are coming by next week to look at her. he doesnt believe me 900 anyways yea once i get new tires and a job to go along with it then we'll be able to go "around"

[JDMEnthused]

heh, why doesnt he believe its 900?

[maxima278]

I like those Conquests, and they're usually really cheap. I have no idea what the aftermarket has for them, I would guess nothing if I had to bet. He could go to a loan shark like citifinancial, or if your parents have a car laying around that is newer that they would be willing to put up as collateral. Other than that it's damn near impossible to get a loan on an older car.

[Black on Gold]

idk i told him needs new subframe bushings and tires. i was going to replace the tires with aftermarket or JDM rims anyway. yea not many ppl put a loan out for an older car
