it all depends what you wanna do w/ the car....do you have a secondary daily driver? if so..i'd say spend the money on the S13

just don't "ricer" mod it. if yo keep it, and are willing to spend 3,000$ that's enough to do a lot of nice, clean. respectable stuff. not like a 400$ shift knob and new vynal graphics, and a huge CF wing. try a new suspension (coilovers probobly) exaust, the works.

Be careful not to cut things too close. Keep the S13 and use the extra dough to get everything running perfectly before you go off on the mods. That will leave you with a nice reliable car that can be made to fit your tastes. You can do a lot with an S13 and $3k.

I vote for do what you want. It wasn't on the list. Do what your budget allows you to do.

I personally own a S13 and have committed to a engine swap, but the S14 has handling skills that the S13 cannot match even on its best day. They are also more comfortable IMO.

If you need the handling, def S14.

If you want to swap/get more power right away, stay with the S13. You have enough to get a CA18DET swap and service the motor back to new before installing. Also enough to turbo the KA or buy a SR20DET (not enough to get it installed in the car, though).

Why not drive your mom's extra & turn the s13 into a project car???

My main problem is that my car is my daily driver... you don't have that problem necessarily .
