yah, that will be fixed soon, I bought hte car for 450$, so... 92 se.... can you really argue?

Of course it didnt run, and I had to have it shipped from SC to chicago, but including shipping Ive spent a total of 1800-2000$ and I have a 92 se with HUD, digid dash, and fairly clean body, that runs like a champ now that I slapped a new head on there. Now thats a deal!

... possibly, Im still vague on everything. So many choices you know? And Im only 18, not even outta highschool yet, And I pay for everything, both my cars I bought on my own, pay for insurance, gas, everything(and not jsut car related stuff, computer I bought my self, tv, cable, ect) Pretty much I have a room in my moms house and thats it. But Im not complaining, it builds character. Im just expressing the fact that I have a lack of funds.

first off Im gonna fix the bumper thats for sure. Then if I still havent sold the civic, Ill retake the ying yang picture, cuz I really like that one :)

I KNOW I want a the silvia front end, Ive been addicted to it ever since I first saw it. as for a motor, it all depends, I was just pulling some drifts today and the day before, and the KA's low end feels real nice, but maybe thats because Im comparing it to my civic? heh, so maybe a turboed KA is will be the powerplant of choice, maybe not. Although, I will Most likely opt for a sr20 because of the fact that its fairly easily gotten, and swaps right in (more so then an rb) and the after market support is pretty good.

I also have some outlandishly crazy ideas that I shall keep to myself until I die or they actually get done ;)

hows that for suspense?

LOL... you better sleep with one eye open tonight. :P Nice work on the car and congrats for getting it at that price! Just a heads up about the Silvia FE conversion, my buddy got it on his coupe and the lighting sucks like a New York whore. I'm sure you know that though.

Anyway, congrats again, and props on the yin and yang theme! :pface Priceless.

nah but seriosly, I just odnt like how the hatchback looks. The hatchback just seems like they stretched it too far, and makes it look unbalanced. The coupe just looks so classy. And you cant hate on a rwd coupe. Cressida, Corrola GTS coupe, 240sx coupe, Infiniti M30 (sadly no 5 speed unless you find a 300zx trans and shift linkage and stuff, and even then I think you need a custom drive shaft...) but yah, coupes are classy, fastbacks are just ... kinda cheesy, you know?

i guess i can see whre your coming from, but its all opinionated so it doesnt really matter realyl, but coupes i guess are classy, and i tihnk peopel jsut kinda label the f/b as sometimes ricey, cuz they hear fast-back adn think of a honda hatch-back
