Went to the pick and pull and found a set of Tein HAs on a s13 fastback. The sad part is that the car was a stock automatic lol. I paid a whopping 96.00 dollars for them, There almost new but they dont have adjustibale pillow balls on them. The bad part is that I have ANOTHER set of Tein HRs with pillow balls coming in today that I picke dup of ebay. So here I am with 2 sets of coilovers and a non running car. I think the Tein HAs are going to diamondstar36 for a real decent price so he dosent have to be ghetto.

Yep, 100 bucks for my s13, 100 bucks for coilovers. But from there the prices went way up. Im about 4k into this thing so far.

i know how you feel. ive spend 7k on mine and its still on the stock intercooler, turbo, injectors, downpipe, cat, etc. and it even looks crappy! wait...what exactly DID i spend all that money on?! oh god....whyyyyyyy?!? oh yeah: engine, exhaust, intake, seat, windshield, fuel pump, bov, ecu, fan, head unit, new dash, HUD, safcII, tires, tension rods...damn...this stuff really adds up. oh, and THREE WATER PUMPS IN THREE DAYS!!!!

dayum, you have no idea how much i need something good to happen to me right now. everything has gone to hell in the last few days. and im broke, but i was born to be broke. oh well, i guess its my car's job to make me suffer. at least ive gotten it to use only one tank of gas a week. i love it to death though! did you guys know that these cars are just as fast as the sub 02 cobras with just a few little modifications? i was surprised. anyway, im done.

Well, Even though they said they were the HRs arent damaning adjustable. So I will be swapping the pillow balls onto the HAs and selling the HRs since their just a stiffer more sportier type basics.

Man, you paid alot for that winsheild. My KA-t buddy only paid 100 bucks for HUD winsheild. Your clip was cheaper, But then again I got a Nismo ECU. As for the dash, There like 25 bucks if you know where to look. The weird thing is that my seats dont match ( patterns are a little diffrent) but Im gonna be getting a Sparco or Bride seat for the drivers side( who cares about the passenger) and a harnees so its only for a bit. Im really bad when it comes to the detail on my car though. That explains the new from nissan window cranks and the fact that im replacing the dash, Things have to be perfect. I am VERY happy with my Tomei edition MOMO wheels I got in today, Its clean.

well, living in a town near devoid of 240sx's i cant really get good prices on anything ca or s13 related. 240 was good for the windshield as they wanted 370 everywhere else (i knew the guy, so he helped me out). this dash was the only used, non-cracked dash in the color of my interior to be found anywhere near me. it was great because when i looked inside the car, it was still covered in armorall, as well as having the hood up so sun didnt get to it. if you guys can get me tha' hook up on stuff, great, if not, ill find the cheapest huntsville has to offer (horrendously expensive).

oh, and that exhaust was on special from jspec.com, it was originally $1200. the piping wasnt complete, had to custom make a short section so it would reach the cat.

Im having to do the same with my exhaust with the HKS 3 1/2 rear section. This things crazy huge with a big Jasma tag on the botom, Its got the 4 bolt square flang on it like the supra and RX7 stuff. Im pretty sure its old skool discounted. Im lucky for living in DFW and Damned at the same time.

So you're swapping out the shocks huh? BTW, "more sportier" is about the most incorrect you can get in the English language. :pface Since they're not dampening adjustable, does that mean I get a discount? :D

He's referring to them as seperate cars. He's raced more than enough of both to know the difference.

Yep seperate. Its just amazing how people think certian cars are fast when the not. Anyway, Diamondstar36 swaped the pillow balls of the Hrs to the HAs, SO the HRs will be going to him for some cash and 550cc injectors.
