I would look around the forums and get an idea of what you want. The options for the s chassis is almost endless. From body kits to motor swaps. And post sone pics!

I think im set on rebuilding the ka with a bigger cam and upgraded valve train, also thought about redoing the fuel delivery system. i plan on running it na until i can afford a turbo kit. right now my major concerns are finding a wiring harness and and brakes

The canvas is endless. As there are a wide range of aftermarket parts for these vehicles. First thing I would do is fix what is mechanically wrong with it if anything. Do proper maintenance. Maybe change waterpump and thermostat for s and g. Since these cars are notorious for cooling issues. Assuming your staying ka24de. You may want to buy a bigger radiator. Deal with cooling first. Then probably suspension issues since it's an old car most the time the Front tension rods are gone. Make sure the frame rails aren't rusted through. If they are make some cardboard templates and weld in some thick steel. Just because the insurance companies rate these things as sports cars they aren't fast stock. Don't plan on going fast without throwing major money at the car.
