i dont see allot of ppl mod this car, but i think its basically the same thing as the S13 and it look pretty much the same as the AE86 for those ppl into the oldschool look. and its still RWD and i'vve seen a SR droped in one b4..

It's only similar to an S13 from the cowl forward... the rear suspension is similar to the Z31, semi-trailing arm.
They come with crappy SOHC CA engines or a big heavy VG30E. A KA makes a nice cheap swap into a CA engined car. The CA18DE(T) or SR20DE(T) will also work. Don't bother trying to squeeze power out of the CA18ET unless you want a lot of work that will amount to banging your head against a wall.
If you can get one for free or dirt cheap that's in good visual condition it's worth it, provided you can find aftermarket suspension parts, I couldn't. They also like to chew up rear subframe bushings, which can cost you.
