What would you do?

[BEISSEN]

Ok if you had 5gs and a stock S13 what would you buy with that 5gs.

[NemeGuero]

1.) tune-up (get the car 'healthy')
2.) suspension (coilovers, adjustable arms, bushings)
3.) Diff

[exitspeed]

Ok if you had 5gs and a stock S13 what would you buy with that 5gs.


ONE HELL of a night at the strip club...


Seriously though. Do some searching on here and look at some of the common mods.

Wheels
Tires
LSD
Coilovers
Misc Susp components

Or you can just do an SR swap right away and some minor things, but that's kinda weak.

What are you plan on doing with it makes a difference too. Are you gonna get with the drift, grip, show(hope not), drag...

[ALTRNTV]

Get an SR20DET, upgrade the turbo and manifold, get an FMIC, bigger injectors, fuel management, and boost 12psi. Don't worry about the suspension or anything.

Anyways, go with what he said.

-tuneup (fix anything thats broken, or do general maintainence, such as flushing the cooling system, brake fluid, spark plugs, etc, etc)
-suspension (coilovers, suspension links, brakes)
-LSD

It all depends on what you're going to do with the car, but a good tune-up is always a must.

[BEISSEN]

Hahaha guess you all cant answer the question.I asked what would you do.Now as far as searching,Im doing a S15 front end Conversion,COilovers,Exhaust and LSD and probley strut bars in the front.

[ALTRNTV]

What I would do? See my reply.

[EchoOfSilence]

tune-up, multilink, bushings, shock/spring or coilovers, brake system, tire/wheel, a seat. that's pushing it

[kensreliableb18b]

yeeeuuup, tune up, clutch lsd, coilovers, SEAT, and go break something

[BEISSEN]

Well I will obveisly do a Tune up first but thats my list.If you all think I should do something differant let me know.Now I see I still know what is best whew I cant wait to have this completed.

[EchoOfSilence]

completed? lol. good luck

[BEISSEN]

Well step one get the car lol hard to do when in IRAQ.But I will have it they are everywhere.But the setup is preping me for a KA-T.the Kit is cus I want to look good as well and when I go to get the Intercoller on I want to have a nice Fierce look.

[ALTRNTV]

when I go to get the Intercoller on I want to have a nice Fierce look.

Get the Invader front. That's pretty fierce.

[NemeGuero]

Wow, we all answered your questions and you say we haven't?

Don't do looks until your car drives well.
Do suspension first. You don't need power until you can out-drive your car as is. Suspension is the weakest link after a good tune-up. Stock KAs have more than enough power, if you say no.. you don't know how to drive it.

[BEISSEN]

well the front I want is already decided its the Origin Aggressive its sleek but nice and sharp and the S15 lights look mean already and on a S13 wow.I also found the S15 Rad Support and that I will get as well which makes it Direct Bolt on.I going with Megan Racing Coilovers,Apex-i N1 Evo or Apex-i GT Spec Exhaust cus it will be turboed in the next 2 years.

[kensreliableb18b]

gtspec is a better deal over the evo cuz it already comes with a silencer

[BEISSEN]

Well also the evo cant fit the Silencer in very well as well and thats the only other draw back.But the GT Spec is more then Likely going to be what I get.

[NemeGuero]

good thing you actually listened to what everyone suggested.

[BEISSEN]

Hey I am and have been a member here longer then alot of you but I just dont have as much time and when my car get taken I was highly depressed my 1997 will long be remebered but now its time to but its child and make it kill most everything out there alive and a new ass.

[NemeGuero]

Wow, you've been a member longer. Cookie?

You aren't going to make your car "kill everything out there" by upgrading your AERO first, and not being able to drive it.

[ALTRNTV]

Of course he'll kill anything. He's getting the S15 front!

[BEISSEN]

Well if I had a additionl 4gs I would do my turbo first thats the only problem even though the KA can handel 350 WHP on the stock block with good tuneing and well Your right cant drive it why CUS IM IN IRAQ but thats ok I was not being a ass just should have added I can listen preyy easily cant flame people when you asked what they would do.But hey to each their own flame away if you like.

[ALTRNTV]

Why don't you just get some suspension and a LSD, then go KA-T? Then do the rest later on.

[BEISSEN]

Of course he'll kill anything. He's getting the S15 front!
When I am completly done this car will be nasty,Trust me lol aero is not nothing but I have to start some where and my Mix of parts there is a LSD and a Exhaust there is noting else that I can get that will goto performace and Im not one to waste money on unessasary things.IE Headers,CAI etc.

[ALTRNTV]

Im not one to waste money on unessasary things.IE Headers,CAI etc.

S15 front is unnecessary.

[NemeGuero]

Nasty not in a good way. You'll have stock suspension on a car with power you can't handle and you'll end up wrecking your aero 'cuz you'll spin out all day long.

[BEISSEN]

Why don't you just get some suspension and a LSD, then go KA-T? Then do the rest later on.

Well the reason is I want to have a good looking car,If I was able to turbo the car right up front I would.But the motor will be to high of miliage and I want to rebuild it I will be getting another motor once I move to my new huse when I get back,Im getting out the military but I have a job setup at the pentagon and I will save to rebuild the bottom end of my awaiting KA and when that is complete add the turbo kit and all the componites Im not getting the Greddy kit is a POS kit for a cheap person and mainly a show Kit.

[BEISSEN]

Nasty not in a good way. You'll have stock suspension on a car with power you can't handle and you'll end up wrecking your aero 'cuz you'll spin out all day long.
Hey go read a few post back and see if you are missing something!!!!!!!!I wont be on stock suspension.

OK for others.

S15 from end
Megan Racing 32 way adjustable Track Coilovers
Nismo or KAZZ 2 way LSD
fnt-Rear Strut bar
B&M SS
Audio

[NemeGuero]

Haha, 'cuz MR coilovers and strut bars are CRAZY suspension mods!

Go read a few THREADS and see if YOU are missing anything.

[ALTRNTV]

Well, you should know now that most of Zilvia agress on power > looks, first.

If you have a job waiting for you anyways, just do your KA-T. Get used to the power, before you put your aero on, so you don't crash and wreck your s15 front and everything else.

There's alot more to suspension than just coilovers. Neme was talking about things like RUCAS, toe links, arms, tie rods/ends, and bushings.

[BEISSEN]

Whats wrong with MR suspension?We can go at it or work with me to help me out.I here realy to see what I can do since at KA-t there are not alot of replys.

[94cc0rd]

I got my car a couple months ago and the first things I did were Megan street coilovers, used front aero (painted), exhaust, and audio. I decided to upgrade ruca and toe links because of a stupid mistake by me but next on my list is wheels.

obviously, i'm going for looks before performance so next on my list after wheels is side skirts and rear aero, along with HIDs and probably a seat/steering wheel after that. My car is a daily driver with occasional track events such as drift day. I'm hoping to attend my first event next month! :)

I think I'm at about 2.5-3 g's spending wise...

[BEISSEN]

Ok I wont have enough to do my compete build the Turbo comes in anyhere from 1-2 years down the road.I want it trust me but after the clutch,pistons rods,turbo kit,suspension,rims,tires TT,BC etc there is not enough left.I can wait for the power later.I can get the car setup and get use to the suspension and how it handels first and then progress on.Who would not want power first yes a job is waitng but I have other things to pay first and things to get started IE my Daughters college fund.

[ALTRNTV]

Whats wrong with MR suspension?


There's alot more to suspension than just coilovers. Neme was talking about things like RUCAS, toe links, arms, tie rods/ends, and bushings.

Read all about it.

[NemeGuero]

We've been trying to help you out.
Your priorities are wrong.

There is nothing more we can do for you. Re-read what Akademik and I have written and ponder it for a while.

The reason we flame, is because we know better. This kind of question comes up a lot here. If you are such an old member, you would know this.

There is no proper way to build a car. But we've outlined for you the best way. Listen and learn, or realize when it's too late that you should have gone a different route.

Look I have been out the loop for awhile and I have been chatting On KA-T.org and there they say wait until I can get everything done pretty much at once.I dont want t rip the motor out twice.The block is only 250 for a decent one but then rods and pistons are 1200.00 alone,My kit I want to get is just a tad of 4gs and thats not includeing the Exhuast and clutch.I will get all my minor things now when have the cash and save for my major built thats why I wont get a header or a CAI trust me man I cant stand not doing motor first but when there are other Priorities then you have to sacrafice.Now hel me unerstand what is wrong with the MR Coilovers I mean hell I have head nothing bad about them or good but for price why not.I also love the S15 front and this is like my only chance to get it.No matter if I waited or not I have to wait at least 18 months before I can get the Turbo kit done.That is the deal from my wife.

[ALTRNTV]

Now hel me unerstand what is wrong with the MR Coilovers I mean hell I have head nothing bad about them or good but for price why not

Dude, READ my post a couple posts above this!

There is nothing wrong with them, I have them myself. There is SO MUCH more to suspension that just coilovers. Now read above!

[NemeGuero]

s15 fronts aren't going extinct.

[ChukiRPS13]

I'd take the S13 and sell it, then combine it with the 5gs and buy myself a bike.

[BEISSEN]

Dude, READ my post a couple posts above this!

There is nothing wrong with them, I have them myself. There is SO MUCH more to suspension that just coilovers. Now read above!
Ok read what the same thing you keep posting?I have read this whole thing.What else can I do with the suspension besides swatbars what traction bars dont need those just yet.Stock KA wont be that bad.I will make sure the brakes a complete tune up will be completed before I mod Im not stupid and my MOM is a ASE CERTIFED Mechanic there is not alot I cant get done or check out first ok.Thats why I can get the Block done myself when I have 8-10gs saved up I will do the turbo kit that way I can do it right the first time.

[BEISSEN]

I'd take the S13 and sell it, then combine it with the 5gs and buy myself a bike.
Go Shoot Yourself lol hahaha I wont ever have a Bike Id kill myself on it the first day.

[ALTRNTV]

Ok read what the same thing you keep posting?I have read this whole thing.What else can I do with the suspension besides swatbars what traction bars dont need those just yet.

I just FUCKING told you. You can do bushings, tie rod end/link, inner tie rods, control arms, toe arms, toe links, and shit like that.

I'm done with this thread. Learn how to read for goodness sake. I keep telling you what else is involved with suspension, but here you are giving me the same shit, with swaybars.

[trsilvias13]

Nasty not in a good way. You'll have stock suspension on a car with power you can't handle and you'll end up wrecking your aero 'cuz you'll spin out all day long.


maybe he is not going do dift/auto-x/circuit/grip with his car.
if he drag racing he dont need all the suspension and learn how to handle.
and if he street race..tsk tsk. still he dont need it because most likely he is going to drag for like a block or two.
or he can building a show car, who knows.

[BEISSEN]

SAE you mean?
No I mean ASE which stands for Automotive Sevice Excellence.She is Certified and will generaly get paid more then a walk in mechanic.

[kensreliableb18b]

ok, you guys have to calm down. you act like if he doesnt deal with his bushings and change all his arms that he's heading straight towards a wall with his car.

[BEISSEN]

I just FUCKING told you. You can do bushings, tie rod end/link, inner tie rods, control arms, toe arms, toe links, and shit like that.

Well well that cool if that what you said I dont see it.But its ok what you are wanting me to do is rebuild my compete suspension but without FUCKING ENORMAOUS AMOUNTS OF POWER ITS A WASTE.Im not going to spend 3-4gs in Suspension no need to.Now if something needed to be replaced fine I can upgrade it but why upgrade all that stuff Im not going to be doing no Auto-X thats for Sure mainly Drag and Street Occasionaly once turbo.Right now its to give a nice stance and better handeling it wont be the best more then likely but its ok.

[SimpleSexy180]

their you go SIR. :naughtyd: have a nice day.

[BEISSEN]

ok, you guys have to calm down. you act like if he doesnt deal with his bushings and change all his arms that he's heading straight towards a wall with his car.
hahaha you are right but unless i go power first they are not happy.I already said what I was doing and why but they cant see past the keyboard I guess because I can argue all day but I will not get a Turbo or motor right now lol.But I will replace thing over time and thats all I can do.

[BEISSEN]

their you go SIR. :naughtyd: have a nice day.
Well that suff will come over time Im not going to wreak anytime soon by just lowering the car and thats the truth.But can do that as well but that replaceing the whole damn suspenion for what,Im not going to Auto-x doubt the car will see a competiton drift event for awhile until after the car is completed with a KA-T.

[ALTRNTV]

Well that suff will come over time Im not going to wreak anytime soon by just lowering the car and thats the truth.

You asked me what else could be done to the suspension. I gave you answers, actually, 3 times. I didn't say you had to do those things. I gave you a list of what you CAN do, then you come and say that those things will come later.

Well well that cool if that what you said I dont see it.

#1

-suspension (coilovers, suspension links, brakes)


#2

There's alot more to suspension than just coilovers. Neme was talking about things like RUCAS, toe links, arms, tie rods/ends, and bushings.

#3

So you mean to tell me, you missed all those points?! :eek3: :eek3: :eek3: :eek3:

[ManoNegra]

My head hurts.

[neilsan]

what you are wanting me to do is rebuild my compete suspension but without FUCKING ENORMAOUS AMOUNTS OF POWER ITS A WASTE.

thats subjective opinion. ask anyone who can actually drive. why ask for suggestions if you know what you dont want already? sounds like $5k would be better spent on self esteem class, my opinion. build your car for you.

[ALTRNTV]

My head hurts.

+1

BEISSEN, you asked for suggestions, you got them. Don't tell us we didn't try to help out. I wasn't flaming you at first, but then you showed us that you don't know how to read, as I've stated 3 times what other things involved suspension, and yet you still say that I never said anything.

[SimpleSexy180]

if you are not seeing any autox or "drifting" time...then shocks and springs would be your best option for now.

[EchoOfSilence]

hahaha you are right but unless i go power first they are not happy.I already said what I was doing and why but they cant see past the keyboard I guess because I can argue all day but I will not get a Turbo or motor right now lol.But I will replace thing over time and thats all I can do.
dude. no one EVER said anything about getting the motor first. In fact, they're telling you to do SUSPENSION first. I doubt the pentagon would hire someone without reading comprehension.

[mmdb]

suspension and motor. screw aero... don't make the same mistake i did :)

[Ricks15]

With 5gs I would fix that piece of shit car to be a Ok daily and a beater, no big power or suspenion, U first want to be confortable driving a 15year old heap of shit around, make it reliable and safe.

[trsilvias13]

if you are into drag, try getting hks drag coilovers.

[Irukandji]

I smell the color pink in your future

[infinitexsound]

http://home.tiscali.be/joke1/Neme4/idiot.jpg

some people are a lost cause, bush said so... anyways suspension(if ur a cheap bastard coil-overs and a bushing kit) and brakes..fuck switchin out rims just get better tires... LSD.. and then see if ur driving capabilities deserve more power...

[S13SilviaGirl]

I smell the color pink in your future

i would buy my self a huge BBQ grill and cook up some ribs.

[BEISSEN]

Well I missed one post oh and Im the Asshole right ok thanks now I remeber why I left this forum.When you want to read yourselfs I was consantly told dont do that POWER first.But its ok all you have to do is read as well.But everyone is intiled to their opioion and show me where you have to do a 3g suspension setup to have a good car.When you can then I will consider it,I have never heard no one use that much stuff to just drag race and do occasional drifts Im not a carier drifter.Go check KA-T.ORG and look at their rides let me know how many there have 3g suspensions.

[s14xman]

I also found the S15 Rad Support and that I will get as well which makes it Direct Bolt on.

:rofl: :rofl: you are funny guy, good luck with that

[OdessaS13]

i would lock this thread because its retarded

dude, everyone was being nice until you started being stubborn as hell. People would ussually get flamed for asking dumb shit like that. Its your money, why would you ask someone what to do with it. If you spend so much time on ka-t wouldn't you already know what to do with it and what mod's you should be looking at, ive been on their forum before and they have some very educated folks . Im sure stupid ass questions like "what to do with my money" dont go well with them either. People say suspension before power because 300hp wont do shit if you cant put it to the ground. Coilovers arent always the best answer either, you can get a set of very nice shocks/ spring combo and be satisfied with that , again depending on your purpose. You basically asked a question and giving everyone that answered a bunch of shit. why start a thread and just sit here and argue, no point. If you cant decide what to do with that money put it in the damn bank like a normal person and think it over. Also, do periods not exist on your keyboard?

edit: my MOM is a ASE CERTIFED Mechanic there is not alot I cant get done or check out first ok.Thats why I can get the Block done myself when I have 8-10gs saved up I will do the turbo kit that way I can do it right the first time.

if your mom is ASE certified y the fuk are you sitting here asking us uneducated folks questions when she has all the asnwers and bowl of noodles waiting for you in the kitchen

[YakuzaS14]

it would really depend on what condition is the s13
but i would probibly get
megan coilovers 750
rims and tires 1000
sr20 swap 2800

[sdtouge]

5grand worth of drogas.

[BEISSEN]

OdessaS13 I am asking becuse my mom is going to help me add the shit to the car and I can also have her make sure its will be worth it IE if somehting is messed up I wont add to the problem,Now I was ok until the others decided that I was fucked up for me wanting a Body kit and a Front end conversion because they cant get out their small heads that I dont have the cash for the turbo or motor and I wont have it until 1-2 years from now.I hang out at KA-T and come here to ask to see if someone has a differant opionion.But thats just me.

Now S14xMan why you say im funny from what I was told and understand now if thats your car enlighten me I am open to knowledge if I am wrong.I know the Rad support has to be welded in thats a given is there any thing else I am missing?

Now I cant do a SR swap I am going to be living in VA-DC area so I wont pass smog with the SR and the sr is a cash cow more so then the KA-T will be due to parts and maintanece.Now as far as rims and tires I wont get just a set of rims to be happy I wont spend money unless its what I want to me its a waste and so unessasary.

[TougeRacing]

coilovers, wheels, lsd, then exhaust. the rest of the money can be used for a lesson on hooked on phonics.

Hahaha you saying I have bad grammer lol.Its cool I have always been told that but oh well I have not changed in 5 years why start.But I keep looking at stuff and well the S15 front might not happen but I will have a Body kit I am kinda Digging the D-Drug kit.But I got to find a C-West vented hood I like that as well.http://www.i-m-racing.com/dd180kit.html .here is the Kit.noce two tone paint job as well real nicely done.But LSD,Exhast and coilovers are 100 gurentee and the rims will be extra If I have it at the time.

[S14DB]

I honestly don't know how you could have been around since 2k1 and have almost 1k posts and not know what to do with your car.

I kind of know why. You seem to not listen to a single thing anyone has said. I dunno how you made it through boot with that thick skull of yours. Unless you want to stir the shit?

Anyways, it's usally the newbs starting the what should I do threads and they are locked with the "Search Newb" reply. I don't see why this is any different.
