not a bad idea
It is not a bad idea. In fact, you sound just like me. I took out a 15000$ loan. I still have a civic. I owe 5500 on my civic. I bought an s14 silvia for 4500$. I purchased an s15 conversion kit, carbon fiber hood, and sideskirts from vis all for 3200$ shipped. I then purchased my engine from jspecauto.com for 2050 shipped. It was red top, but if you plan to do any modifications, it just makes sense, plus you should get the 5 spd tranny which is stronger than the 6 spd. Jspecauto sends just about everything needed (engine, motor, turbo, side mount intercooler, uncut harness, and I believe all the neccessary small parts). My car is currently in the body shop waiting to have the kit put on and be painted for 3500$. I will take it over to my mechanic to drop the engine in, install my alarm, and add in my exhaust, downpipe, fuel pump, fan, and other small gauges. He claims that it should be around 500$, however I am sure it will be around 700$-800$. I shot over my budget by about 2000-3000$ but I will finally have the car that will make me drool every day that I open my garage rather than my civic. I am currently making payments on both loans. Talk about tough. Let me know what happens!!
