info and advice is welcome as long as you're not a d*** about it aight!

i can get a shell 89 coupe for free with a title. what do you fanatics think? full fatboygarage widebody sil kit! i'm talking front 30mm fenders, sides, 30mm quarters, and rear. then maybe a GTR grill, don't know about headlights yet but i am open to suggestions, carbon fiber hood and trunk lid, and a nice offset wheel to fill up the fenders. under the hood, throw in a fresh KADE with turbo to about 300whp. full drift suspension, everything adjustable. full interior or none? daily driver? HELL YEAH! can accomplish this for about $8000 with some help from my connections. does this sound like a plan or should i just get a honduh! aor a $hithole truck or somethin?

DO IT.

and get an engine from the absolute most reputable place you can find. It's worth the $ down the road.

lmao there isn't such thing as a ****hole truck. Unless you get a 1930 ford lol.There isn't anything wrong with hondas. Don't get some weird body kit becuase everyone will laugh at you. There are cleaner kits if your going to get a kit.

I just like my car simple and powerful. and for the love of god do NOT get bling rims. What are bling rims you ask? they are HUGE like 18+. Sorry but there is not functionality on 18+ rims. Good luck turning a corner with that size

already have the shop that has the fresh ka to turbo. he is reputable and i have done business with him before. and w1ngzero, i don't get ricey kits anymore, only clean and functional. and as far as rims, my S14 has some badazz 18x8 buddyclubs on em and they look awesome and haven't slowed me down at all. i just want to do everything to my sil so even if i pull up next to your ppl will pay more attn to me than to you :)

look at all of the 89-94 coupe stuff

decided just to go mostly fiber instead of carbon fiber cause of price. and because most ppl wouldn't know what to make of it.

there is only 1 pic of a coupe and if that is it, then yes it is clean. Some of these other FG kits are fairly clean.

If your gettin' a new engine don't get another KA, that's the same engines that they put in those piece of **** little trucks and it's a step down from an SR20. If you want to stick with a four cylinder go with an SR20 but if you want a nice step up go with the six cylinder RB25. Only problem is I don't know if one will fit in an S13.

I'm just going off the info. that my friend gave me. He said an SR20 was a step up from a KA. I don't own a 240 so I really wouldn't know just thought I'd put my 2 cents in. If it's wrong you don't have to ****** about it.

sorry man, but the ka comes stock in all 240s. you have to pay to swap in the smaller sr20. so why not just go ahead and turbo what you've got?!

How long would a KA turbo running on 12psi last compared to it stock? assume everything else constant.

i think i'm gonna go SR just b/c its hard to find a KA with low mileage...unless someone knows otherwise? And I could build the hell out of a KA...but I wouldn't know where to start...I've got 6+ months to decide, so any input would be great!

The CA is iron block as opposed to the aluminum block SR, so wouldn't the CA be able to withstand more stress than the SR?

I thought you would get the CA 2nrchic. Arent you an RPM whore?

I don't have my own car to mess with, so could yal tell me why you can't sleeve an iron block, or is it just b/c it's CA or why is it b/c it's a CA that you can't sleeve it?
