Sounds more like a all-around street car then a drag car. Why waste money converting to right hand drive? That money can be spent on something useful. If it's a drag car then get rid of the interior don't get a body kit it's just extra unneeded wieght. And if you want big HP then you need a huge turo. A stock turbo on a SR won't get you far at the drag strip:)

Everyone add what you like to my list...

S13 SR20DET clip (first on waiting list, gonna make my car right hand driver) pefect
3.) get sparco intercooler i would need more detail on the size of the cooler to comment just get a HUGE one
4.) get greddy cold air intake your at a drag strip, u don't need a intake just a tube to get fresh air if u want
5.) get jdm silvia fuel pump not big enough for a drag stup go 300ZXTT or bigger
6.) new suspension good
7.) custom exaust, with a bored out stock mufler (illigal, but no backup on turbos &gt; exhaust? have a pipe coming out the side
8.) port and polish fine
9.) 17 inch ATS motorsport racing aloys get drag radials
10.) greddy electronic boost controler profec B i presume?
11.) improved headers headers?
12.) custom intercooler piping true make em' as big as possible
13.) JDM shortshifter why not
14.) misc other JDM performance upgrades, minor

addition's: bigger injectors maybe even secondarie's, internal's upgraded to include head gasket and such, flywheel and clutch, T-88 turbo, NOS, Stand alone ECU management, lots of extra money to fix the stuff that breaks $$$$

BODY/INTERIOR
1.) Erebuni shogun body kit [b] it's a drag car no need
2.) JDM permanant head light kit, (i don't like retractables) same as above
3.) GT-I Aluminum racing wing just a trend, maybe if it supplied actual downforce
4.) JDM remote controled folding mirrors why?, u live in the US right? the parking spots are huge
5.) MOMO racing seats lighter=goodness
6.) MOMO carbon fiber and brushed aluminum shifter see above
7.) more stuff, gota decide later.

[wherezmytofu]

so ur gonna get a silvia front clip and throw the hood, fenders, lights, and bumper cover away?.....and put on the erebuni kit that looks exactly the same as the probe/mr2/and miata?....why man way??

[vancouvers14]

you forgot:

15) save up $30K to do all this stuff

[yenpit]

so u gonna &quot;clip&quot; ur car.....cut complete front 1/3 of car off and weld jdm clip on?? i considered doin that on my last civic cuz we had a jdm clip, but holy s**t what a huge project. keep in mind that ur firewall is NOT made to just swap all the RHD components over to. we thought bout just splicing the firewall in but still a huge project. also, ive been told the jdm dash's are almost always damaged (just like the outer sheetmetal) so u may not b able to use any of it. we'd all love to hear bout project IF u do convert to RHD. good luck!!

[Gold240se]

And If your saving $30K, whats another $3k on the real deal. &nbsp;Get a Veilside. So sweeeeeet!

[BlankFlip]

well...if ur turboing it, then u need to take headers off of it b/c that is for n/a cars. the shogun body kit is more for a show car, n u might wanna get smaller rims, like 15 or 16 maybe.

[DragonReborn214]

Why not just import a japanese silvia?

[ZeroGS14]

why get a silvia fuel pump when you can get a 300zx tt fuel pump for much less and the fuel pump is good for 600hp

[Gold240se]

I've heard importing Silvias (this is the S15, haven't heard about other models) can cost up to including the car $40K. Not sure why exactly so much but thats what I've read in either Turbo mag. or SCC. &nbsp;

[Gold240se]

What engine are you choosing KA, SR or something else? Or did I miss that somewhere?

[BlankFlip]

from what i've seen, it costs a lot to bring over here b/c of safety standards n stuff like that. $40k don't sound 2 bad for a brand new s15 though, i seriously would get that if i saved up the money, hardly nebody would have it.
