Hey whats goin on guys. I'm from South Jersey and I just picked up a 93 S13 Hatch SE. I've wanted one for a while but all I could find was coupes, came across this deal from a friend for 400 dollars and picked it up Friday. I'm new to the whole RWD thing but not the car thing, I currently drive an 04 Tiburon but I wanted something a little more fun to drive so I picked up the hatch as a project.

HKS Coilovers, SR20 Redtop, Origin stylish body kit, carbon fiber hood and hatch & Advan Ver.2 Wheels. I haven't decided on the color i'm thinking either championship white or burgundy.

please don't put a fanboy type r color on this car no Chmpn white , phoenix yellow or any of that...

Do a nice clean color....


Version 2's are a go!!

Hks coils?!?!!

Get something a lil more affordable unless you a baller do ya thing but you can always find good deals on here..

Origin kit is a go...


All personal opinion by all means it's your car just saying though

i'm used to paying alot for parts, I own a Hyundai Tiburon..lol. The aftermarket for that car is more costly than it's worth. But if i don't get championship white maybe an alpine white. I like the color of contrast of cf with a white car. As far as the HKS Coilovers i was told you can get them for as little as 800 dollars. Which IMO for coilovers isn't too bad.

hks for 800? shouldn't be true and even so, still crap.

Check out a company on here called Powered By Max. Excellent products.
You can even try Stance! 240's don't need high end products to look good ;)

Lol Ricky, I'm gonna have to educate you and what to spend you money on and what not to spend your money on with these cars. Like V-Mac said, HKS coilovers are kinda pointless and way too overpriced unless you're putting them through crazy abuse and even then it's hard to justify the cost.

Haha I still love you though, welcome to Zilvia...

White is a very clean color, so that'd be cool....

Haha you pay alot for parts?? i own an STI trust me i know what you mean when break rotors cost 350 a pair or higher..
