Well I'm going to pick up a 93 Hatchback this weekend. It has a 89 pignose bumper with a lip :bigthumb: the lip is not on it though. But it has a spun rod bearing. It has full interior and an ebay intake with a magnaflow full exhaust. It is a KA24DE engine and transmission in it. The trans in good as long as the clutch. And he did a 5 speed swap on it and it works fine. It will crank right up but I heard it and it def has a spun rod bearing. It has some extras

Extra block, head, brand new tires (4), 2 extra stock se rims, 2 ugly chrome rims, a set of cheap silver rims no tires, 2 open diffs, j30 diff, extra dash (needs alot of work), big rotors need to be redrilled, 2 piston brake upgrade, s14 driveshaft ECU and engine harness, and like 2 boxes full of shi*.

I went and looked at it and it is pretty legit. He is wanting 600 for the car and the exhaust and 900 for everything. But money is tight and idk if I should buy everything and repair the one that is in it (bearings) or buy just the car and drop another KA in it. I think I am going to go with the 600 deal. And the body only has 73,000 miles!!! NO RUST :woot:

But what do you guys think? :bigthumb:

oh yea pics

Don't need no smarts on this one ... $900's a deal. $600's even sweeter. Just my opinion.

haha I sure will, I cant wait :yesnod

And yea I'm keeping that color it looks really good on it. I think pics don't do the justice it looks even better in person.
Personally that is a color I would never choose to paint my car but I really like it.

NicoHiyoko, tell your husband I said goodluck :bigthumb:
