That sucks, I think the KA-turbo would be sweet set-up in the truck though.

Afterall, the KA is a "truck" engine. So, wouldn't it be perfect in the drift truck?

Now you're thinkin! That's a sweet idea, but I don't understand why you're putting a "T" on the end of your engine codes.

So I went down to raleigh NC to pick it up. long story short, the car was in terrible shape. not worth the $300 he bought it for on ebay. i told the guy it wasnt worth my time or money to take it home. so he replys " how much will you give me for it?" i ended up getting the thing for $100. (still barely worth it)
wow. this is terrible. i bought my '91 for $600 and its in worse shape than that! lol terrible thing is that i had to drive 23 hours to pick it up

but apart from my stupidity i looked through all 16 pages of this thread and loved every pic i saw. great job dude. i think it looks fine without a rear window (painting one on seems like nascar and nascars a little too "white bread" even for me) you should be insane and drop a vq35 in it since youre goin all out (to match the 350z inspired color). all in all i effing love this thing. good luck on the track when ya get it done!!!

Ed, just wanted you to know that I love this build. I have my own beat down S13 and couldn't decide what to do with it. So, of course, once I saw this build, I just had to give it a shot. Not trying to steal ideas, i just wanted a project and this was great inspiration. Mine won't look nearly as good though because it's more of a junk yard build. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work.
