looks like a cold pipe, maybe a SMIC, and a radiator replacement.

nothing difficult just time consuming.

We have 10 or shells with full interior forsale locally for under 500 bucks.

kind of far, but this isnt a horrible fix.

everyweek it seems now more an more S13s and S14s are being sold for nothing on floridadrift.com(bunch of d-bags but good deals to be had)

I can think of atleast 4(1 vert with super clean top sold for 400 IIRC yesterday). More and more are being posted up for sale as kids cant afford their toys anymore and making it to work with a busted car and high gas prices.

and most lawyers will take the case on speculation where you sign a peice of paper saying if the case wins the lawyer gets his payment from the settlement, and you get paid too, also if i cerall coresctly you said he was drunk, and you werent i presume, so sue the living **** out of him, just out of the principal of it.i hate drunk driversAnyways good to hear youre fine, the car looks upset thoughgood luck

Ok, update:I have a chassis. 1992 SE Hatch. White, decet body except for a ding in the door and rust in the hatch from the spoiler. It was delivered to a buddy's place last night. My car got the turbo timer and MBC stolen while it was at the body shop (grumble grumble) bit other than the oil cooler core, rad, and piping, looks to be bueno. Some buddies are coming to flat bed my car back to College Station where they will do a chassis swap for me...for free. Great friends in a time of need are the greatest blessing!! I should be boosting again by the end of July!!!!!!

Nice to heard you will still rock your Ca18det. You are one of my inspiration up there with your engine setup. I Like your custom intercooler piping and will try doing something similar. I already have a ***Brand new*** ARC smic core with Sr20det piping and yes you really have read brand new ...

I was asking myself at what hot pipe you have used ? look like stock sr20det pipe ?

Thank you and good luck with the swap !

Cisco is an amazing friend. I will owe him till the day I die. And since he is doing a CA swap, it will be done by me and totally free (as if I would have charged him anyway, lol).

The new chassis is getting prepped as we speak. IT is a hella clean 92 hatch. So no more coupe of doom. But I plan to make a nice little Type-X clone. With the better engine of course.
