Alright, I've practically decided on going with a S13 (1991+) for a summer project car, and keep my spec v as a winter only/daily driver thing.
I just have a few questions, although I won't be starting until later next spring/early next summer, 240s are rare in my area so it'll take a lil bit of searching and looking for one.
Now, is ABS and Super HICAS worth it? Should I look for one with these things? I've heard both yes and no on both of them.
With ABS alot of people say I won't need it espically when I'm upgrading to bigger rotors, and diffrent calipers. Also that the ABS systems from 10 years ago arn't good, espically when compared to the 4 wheel/4 sensor ABS system on my Spec V.
Some people say Super HICAS is good some people say bad. Some Say good, all I know is this is like is sorta like a 4 wheel steering system, that uses lat forces, speeds, and alot of other factors to turn the rear wheels up to 1 degree...but is it good or bad?
Hopefully I'll be in one next year (I have my mind set on a S13 or another car, but which is EVEN harder to find, but the end result will be similar for pricing for the end project), but it all depends on Canada's 15 year import law, and the supply of other cars I'm looking at (some which might be imported from Japan) and the prices of those other cars.
