So hears the storry...

[manny(ΣAE)]

Its been a year and 3 months since i have botten my 97 s14 and just recently i have gotten it

JDM front bumper
JDM Back Bumper
NISMO window visors
Leather Interior
Back Window Spoiler
Tanabe Coilovers
XXR 006 Wheels

and i dont know what to do with it next :aw:. Ill have saved up some cash and am at 5k atm and dont know if i should get NAVAN side skirts, JDM rear valence, tint my windows, JDM Head lights, convert to manual :) or if i should just spend the 5k all on the turbo :naughty:. The turbo will be from GREDDY and is C.A.R.B approved and but before i do the turbo will be doing an engine rebuild and hopefully when i buy the turbo will have enough for the BOV, Intercooler, Boost control, and the 5speed swap. Am at my limit here :faint: because then what I really want to do is repaint my car to its factory color which was cobalt green and before that would like to get the side skirts, jdm valence, and the spoiler for it too (Spoiler by Vertex). Do you guys see my dilemma. :cry: I would also like to make it RHD...etc their is too much things to post and i really dont think ill even finish ...

Would like to see your guys opinion, questions, comments or concerns plz and thank you.:bigok:

Personally I would do the 5 speed swap then the turbo and after that go back to the body and looks. Dont rice the car out! LOL. I would say turbo first but you wont be happy with the autotragic turbo. That would be my opinion!

I'm not sure what botten means, but this shit is getting locked down... Your money, your ideas, do what you want and get flame if it's lame or garbage, the end.

[waxball88]

Glad you haven't trashed the car already. You seem to have made good decisions so far. You should be able to decide what you want to do with your vehicle.

[rakooda]

I actually agree with turtle. Of all those things you mentioned on your "to-do" list... I would do the manual swap. Then whatever else you had in mind. However if I had 5k to dump into it my choices would be 5spd swap, control arms, and a diff. Save the money I have left for beers haha

[NickIsAZero]

I say SR/5spd & VLSD swap if you have 5k...

[Srjustin]

5speed and turbo

SAE is gay. i just want to let you know i'd help you if you weren't in a such a lame frat

would love to have an sr, hell would love the rb but realistically speaking, how will i be able to smog the car is what the real problem. Live in cali, and emission laws suck over here, will probably do one of these swaps around 2027 when i no longer need to smog the car lol

Ya thinking i might just do this, especially the beer part lol

:/ if you live in the east coast i know were your coming from, but SAE is just like your typical stereotype, just like the say that Asians cant drive but in reality some can like my favorite drifter and now 2011 Formula D champion Daijiro Yoshihara...if on the other hand your in a different fraternity then to each his own

I would get better wheels and lower that damn thing before anything else.

Interesting...


SR, Boltons, neat stuff like gauges, nice turbo back exhaust and more, 5k goes a pretty long way on a 240.

Your car looks pretty good though so there's hope. I think you should do alot more research and get a idea of what YOU want to do and more importantly what you CAN do.\
It seems you really want your car to look cool, and nothings wrong with that, you can do a sr swap and still have enough for every body part you listed and more..

You pay alot for that CARB, and they still BAR you and make you go to the place because the officer doesn't know wtf a CARB sticker is half the time.

Also this

Suspension > Mechanical [SR] > Cars Cosmetics

[blueshark123]

get the replica navan sideskirts and jdm valances from gunmetalr32 look as good as oem. I honestly would not wast money on a greddy kit. I dont think its worth it. I agree with others on suspension and 5 speed swap

I will ignore the grammar and spelling on the assumption that English is not your first language.

Beyond that, I suggest that you do some searching and do what YOU want to do with YOUR money to YOUR car, not what a group of perfect strangers tell you to want to do.
