im guessing if my brother buys it he will have to just get mostly custom stuff made. im sure all he would do would be exhaust and bigger intercooler with custom piping and thats probobly about it, maybe a bigger turbo sometime. what other cars come with the 2.6L mitsu engine? but hes going from an 89 accord to the conquest if he gets it. should be plenty enough power for him.

I'm finding tein S Tech springs everywhere for good prices but they lower the car 1.3 inches in the front and .9 in the rear. Do yall think that is really going to change it much? You can see how high mine rides already.

im buying a magnaflow pipe (just the muffler) for 59$, i think its 2.25' then im getting the piping done locally. Aftermarket exhaust for tuners is outrageous. if i was you i would look into magnaflow. they even let you listen to certain cars as they drive by, inside, etc.

where can you find that ssautochrome? I'll have to look them up. that's a hell of a lot better than 500 bucks. I'll look into Magnaflow too.

is there any good reason to go for the more expensive one?

$119 seem pretty good for tein s techs off ebay what yall think?

and generally most hondas sound bad because they just put fart cans on the engine and have a 1.5 liter.

SSA N1 dual and single exhaust have got nothing but good reviews. And it will be a deep sound.

My current car had Tein S-techs on it when I bought it, liked them. They seem just a touch better than Eibach Pro-kit.

what do yall think, teins with 1.3 in front and .9 in the rear, or skunk2s with 2-2.5" all around, or eibachs (most expensive) with 1.7 in front and 1.4 in the rear? I have nothing to go on. I don't want to slam it, just looking for a nice ride height. I'm going to buy some this weekend or next week.

I bet you could sell that S14 to someone to fix up rather than go through the trouble of dissassembling it and make enough to buy wes's hatch and hook it up some. If not, then I'd get the seats, 5 lug conversion, 5speed transmission, wheels and anything else and put it in the hatch

Wes, are you still interested in my Dad's MR2? I have pics.

I bet if you put it out there for $1900 you'd get people wanting it. I don't know what Wes is selling his car for though. If you wanted to go that route, you could just stick it on NICO classifieds, and if it will sell for that, it will probably happen fast. You just gotta figure up how much you will make for your trouble of parting it out, and the difference between that and selling it outright and see if its really worth it to you. I got lucky. I bought a parts car for $400 and it was mostly disassembled already. I picked up the car and boxes of parts and was putting body parts in the back of the truck. All I had to do was pull the engine.

oh yeah the s13 with the 2jz, just look for threads about that meet in atlanta dec. 26 where Greg picked up his new car and you'll find him

yeah, from the pics your car looks like an easy fix, so I bet someone will pay that for it.

I think I decided on the eibachs. I looked on cardomain.com and looked at people's 240s with the different suspensions and I think I'm sold.

go to cardomain and look for DEKAND and Blacktop Messiah's cars. Just look at the stance only and tell me what you think. (notice the gray car with the bronze rims, I think that's hot)
