old_s13, not bad, your whip looks phat. id hit it...maybe just gold on s14s look like crap cause i know im an inch away from flat black

when i build my Sil40 in the future, you better believe it's going flat black.

Online?

I got my sources, and I'm sure you got yours... Last time I saw a front clip for sale was for $1,800 and thats without hookup and at normal cost, not online, through a reliable contact, anyone can get them at this price. And this is not my *PERSONAL* source (in other words I can get cheaper prices).

$1,500 for a tranny swap? You better love that tranny (HAHAH) for that price...

yea glenn i agree... you're better off popping in a lsd. couple hundred bucks and knocks your 1/4 mi time down by almost a sec. same performance gain, 1/5 the cost... i see a 5spd WHOLE CAR on ebay right now for 1100


wayyyy too much... btw, that 1500 includes a USED tranny... not even new....

Dude, my headlights alone are worth more than your car.. hehe

seems to me like he wouldn't care about his 1/4 mile time...i don't think he's into drag.

Logikal - if you have all the right tools and a whole day to work on it, you can easily do the swap in 6-8 hours and end up spending alot less. think about it.

[old_s13]

It took me and 3 friends about 16-18 hours, that included getting food, misc parts, replacing the rear main seal, and various other things while I was underneath the car.

If you want to do a quick job, its possible.. but if you want to do a good job, thats about how much time it'll take.

ahhh, but you forget, im not a mechanic, and ive read so many info pages on how to dot he swap yet i still have no clue on how to start. after changing spark plus, changing oil and switching tires, im horrible at tunning (if you can even consider that stuff tunning)

prolly dude but im not buying a freakin car to show off the headlights

the swap is prolly worth it... if you really want a manual and want to drop that much money into an old car. i thought about doing it to mine, but i figured i'd be more cost effective just to sell mine and get a car with a stick already in it.

[old_s13]

I didnt say that to try to put you down, I was just saying thats one of the reasons I wouldnt sell my car unless it was for some serious cash. I've put too much work in this shitride to just "let it go" for like 7 grand.. thats a joke.

If you sell your car and get another 240 (a stick, for example), you're going to end up realizing that the car will need maintanance anyway. Its not a bad idea to take things apart and replace them with newer, less worn parts. I took the upper part of my motor apart at 120k and did a valve job, head gasket, and various other parts just because I was doing the timing chain and was in the area. Thats all I meant by my post. Plus, you might as well learn to work on your car.. no shame in that.. unless you're fond of mechanics inserting their pneumatic impact tools up your ASS.. hehe!
