I think you should leave that S13 alone!!! Save it for another Honda bandwagon jumper! He just finished watching Initial D and now he wants it AND put in an SR because that is the cool thing to do!

(You like the sarcasm?)

Let me put it this way Paul. If I find out that you DON'T buy this, and rejoin the Brethren, I'll hunt you down and do things to you in your sleep that will make your mother cry.

Yeah the engine sounds sweet, and I agree Jezz, none of that dodgy, non lsd, small braked dodgy front bumpered pre facelift stuff!

It maybe a few months before its mobile though.

Jezz you silly monkey! I'm NOT going crazy this time (honest!!!) I think t28 will be the biggest mod on it, might "go driftin'" in it rathers than balls out power like the last one that I don't miss at all!! :rolleyes

It needs a 'box an exhaust back box and a bit of welding that I can sort and thats all to get it MOT'd but I might aswell port the head while its off the road!

LOL, no.

just cut your springs and run really long bump stops for hardness, then weld your diff up. :D

Drifting's for fairies anyhow.

Hmmm what to do, daily driver or drift car? drift cars don't need huge power and I should be able to get 230bhp from just a boost upgrade/custom map and a homemade exhaust!

daily drivers don't need big power also !:D Just drive the car with 230 bhp and if you feel the need to upgrade (and you will at some point ;) )something, just do it!

You will mod it anyway, i have a friend who said exactly the same when he got his S13 and now he is putting money in it like crazy (it's not that much money, but a lot for someone who is always broke) :D
