a) there is no such thing as a "drifter" kit. if there is, it is probably made by some cheap ricey company trying to sound big.

b) don't put S15 rear fenders on your car. please. an S15 front end conversion is far enough, and actually doesn't look too bad. putting S15 rear fenders on a car that wasn't designed for them just looks like shit. the car is an S14!!! NOT AN S15!! be happy with what you have and don't try to make the car look like something it is not and will never be.

c) do not put the 180SX Kouki lights (not type-x lights, all Kouki 180SX's had them, not just the type-x!!!) on an S14. it would look like shit.

d) there is no point to installing an S15 dash in your S14. it doesn't look much better. btw, did you just want the dash or RHD too? because if you got the dash...you'd HAVE to go RHD...there's no such thing as an LHD S15...

e) both of your 240SX options make you sound like a huge bandwagon jumper (you're doing everything popular to it just because it's popular, ie. S15 conversion, "drifter" kit, 180SX "type-X" lights (on an S14 i might add), Sr20DET just for the sake of saying you have it) and sound like they'd be show queens rather then track queens. plus you're spending more money on visual stuff to make the car look good rather then spend it on coil-overs, brakes, engine parts etc. which furthers my belief that these cars will never see a track.

if you're building a show car, may i suggest a Civic or some other car that wasn't designed for performance driving?

to turn an S14 into an S15-faced-180SX-tail-lighted show-queen zombie car that would never actually see the track is a crime in itself.

buy the 300ZX because it actually sounds like it has a chance of seeing a track where-as the other 2 sound like they'll never see a race-track in their lives.

if i'm wrong simply tell me and i'll retract my statement.

if i'm right, then don't bitch at me for my opinion. you asked for it, and i'll give it to you flat out: you sound like a poser.

again, if i'm wrong, prove it to me and i'll gleefully retract it, but going by the evidence i have so far, i think i'm pretty spot-on.

end transmission.
