ok so heres the deal, come the end of summer i hope to have a little more then 3 grand saved up for my 89 coupe..... im having trouble deciding silvia front end or keep the nose and put an aero on it. either way the sr20 and a 5 speed are going in. im trying to docide, the silvia looks really good and i could jus buy a front clip ( im a little concerned if all the parts will be there or if theyll be in good shape) or if i should jus buy the motor and trans. im leaning towards the silvia right now, let me know what you peoples think :)

I was thinkin about the same thing before, but I decided to forget about the silvia front. I just cant justify spending a GRAND on changing how the front end looks. Spend the extra money on a nice FMIC or suspension or something.

Yeah, forget the aero and the Silvia front end. Just get some hot suspension work, or like Fiznat said, a chunky front mount. Hell for a G I'd take a Nismo LSD over a Silvia front end.

well you see the thing that gets me is the clip comes with motor and trany.... i think its about 3500. but if i were to buy the motor n transmission sep its around 2500 and i might need some parts from the car it came from right? intercooler and what not (will be upgraded but i can only afford so much making 5.25 at a body shop :(. also aero kits come out to be more then a g anyway, well most of the ones that actaully has a purpose. i dont wanna go around with a huge *** bumper that slows me down. i gotta show the muscle car guys at work whats up with what. "me and my four cyl what?!!" - what i say after ive smoked em:rolleyes
