sr20det install satifies me. Not so satifisfying, getting it smogged. Recirculating my BOV cause i don't get my swoosh but I do get my MPG, sort of... Wish I would of gotten a smaller turbo timer because my HKS unit is a tad to big. Regret getting a 2.5" BRM exhaust. Anyone wanna but it so I can get a 3"

Despite all the suspension, chassis bracing, interior and exterior parts I bought and put on the car the SR swap is by far the most thing that I am proud of. I loved breaking the engine down, cleaning it and putting it back together the way I wanted for the most part and installing and driving it is a great feeling.

If your automatic belts act up as much as the majority of the rest of ours do, then its definitely worth it. Some days mine work fine. Some days it goes back a few inches every time you turn the key on. Some days it doesnt work at all.

It sucks when the belts go back fine when you first get in the car and you assume they will go forward when you get to where you're going. It's usually then when they stop working. I've choked and nearly clotheslined myself getting out of my S13 a few times.

Like most, S14 seat's are a HUGE improvement and a huge +1 on the price.

Other then that Coilovers makes the car feel like a whole new car so +1 on that.

and of course the 2JZ swap +2 -1 on the price though.

Why does everyone b**** about seatbelts when they're covered by unlimited lifetime warranty? I LIKE automatic seat belts, they saved my life.

For me, it was buyin the 240SX. Yea all the upgrades are nice, and the time and money well spent. But w/o the basic body, engine, suspension, brakes, and so on, what would you have spent it on? A good night of partying? A s*** load of p0rn that's only good once, maybe twice before it gets old?

W/e the reason may have been. I'm glad i got it.
