Getting back into S13
Little background: My first car i ever owned was a s13 hatchback, that was then converted to a s13.5, and i swapped in a redtop sr20, full exhaust, fmic, boost controller, etc. Just little things. Ran 10psi and i loved it. I was only 17. My dad and I did all the work. Never had any problems. I am now 22, and cant stop thinking about buyin another one. My only issue is i do not want to spend my whole summer building another one. I'd rather buy one that is decently built. So i need your thoughts on this one.
Its a 90 S13. Body is super clean, rust free. Black exterior with some sick red rotas. The thing is.... says he 'spun a bearing' and does not have time to fix i will put the mod list. I have him talked down to $4,300. I have about 6500 to spend, just curious if she is worth it! -Sr20 det Red top -5spd trans -CORBEAU bucket seats 2 -stage 2 exedy clutch -Act pressure plate -1- stock sr20det head with cams -1- fully built sr20det head Stage 2 bc Valvesuu Springs Guides Etc Tomie rocker guards Mild port 3 ang valve job -Spare block -ARP head studs welded diff -Short shifter -Megan racing street series suspension full adjust -Megan rear control arms -3 gauge pod -Glow shift gauges -aft mkt coolent res -.57 turbo -external wategate -turbonetics boost controller -Oil catch can -Front lip -Tinted windows -black housing headlights HID's -full 3" exaust with res -greddy intake manifold top mount bigger throttle body -drift ebrake -rear wiper delete -new front brakes -vibrant cold air with mass air flow -3 row rad -holley race cell battery -top mount turbo manifold -550cc injectors -nismo oil cap -17x9 rotas with a 0 offset Extra parts Head Block Clutch 2 pressure plates Flywheel Cluster Headlight assemblys with motors Both mirrors 2 sets of wheels |

Thats pretty steep, with all the mods. Be patient and wait for the right one. I just bought my LS1 s13 hatch for that price. Find a poor sucker who has dumped a bunch of money into his car, and now has ran into money problems and needs to sell lol

I'd find a different car to work on. Kinda get bored if doing the same chasis over again.
You're expecting to drop another $2500+ for motorwork again. For that price, I'd rather get an MR2 turbo. |

Agreed. I wouldn't pay more than $1500 for it honestly. It's a pain in the ass to pick up where someone else left off and when you buy a blown motor project they never tell you everything, you're going to run into more gremlins. Just find a KA 240sx in decent shape throw on coils and a welded diff and bam, FUN. That's what you do if you don't want to spend the time and money to build a more powerful car. Plus drifting or even gripping you learning to take less power to it's full potential will make you a better driver.

LOL
A worn out drift car with cheap ebay mods and a blown engine, and you are willing to pay 4300$ for it ? When you say you dont want to spend the whole summer to rebuild it ? Dude, you are going to shell thousands of dollars at it, and it wont run properly before next summer, i can tell you that. |
