Man up.
Ok.

Why?
Second.
Hopefully to go with the SR swap, otherwise, complete waste.
Unless it's because you're getting SRD's for the street or Pole Positions for the track, no.
Overpriced, waste.
Unless it's because you went with a decent sized turbo after your SR swap, no.
You fucking ricer.
Hopefully something tasteful.
Unless it's Z32's, no.
No.
First.

You need to establish a clear thought out plan for EXACTLY what you want to do with this car.

Track days?
Drifting?
Sweet (see: Lame) show car?
Street cruising?

Keep in mind dual purpose cars typically never work out. Be clear and concise.

awesome! At least you dont have to worry about that dash piece because it needs to be replaced for the manual swap right? Side note if you want some baller Sparco Milanos....

I'd love to have a project car but I don't have room anywhere

Yeah, buy Dan's Milano's. That's probably your best option.

mostly a drift setup
but i want something that looks good too and could be in some shows which is why i wanted to get some of the other stuff. rhd i was just considering because im getting a front clip instead of just an engine(to decrease the chances of them breaking when they pulled the engine out. i know alot of importers and junkyards are pretty careless when pulling engines and trannys.) and everything is there for the swap. 5 lug has more options of wheels with lower offsets. i love the s15 front end. recaros i was considering because i sat in them in my friends car and they were really comfortable and he paid around 650 for the set. and another friend has bride gias seats in his evo and they are possibly the most comfortable things i have ever sat in. but yea they are expensive. sparco milanos are pretty comfortable.

Well I'll see you delivering mail then. RHD swaps are for homos, period. Not to mention the S13 firewall is not setup to accept the swap of everything to the other side. So you either have a lot of cutting and welding ahead of you (hack job), or swapping a firewall with a lot of cutting and welding. Either way, it's still retarded.

Show car + drift car + no budget? Better chose one.

Durka, your answers are great...

i would be swapping the firewalls which just requires drilling out the welds and welding the new one in and putting some kind of sealant in the seams.

you can like whatever you want to like and ill like whatever i like
i really dont care if i have no budget and high hopes. im not like most people with mediocre dreams that they know they can accomplish i want to push myself to see what i actually can do. i like challenging myself.

Oh yeah, swapping firewalls no big deal. Chassis fabrication is easy!

While tacky to ask, how much did you pay for that car?

75 feet for a 240! Stop crying baby!!

When the starter took a shit on the vette I pushed it 150+ feet then down a hill jumping inside it to bump start it!! lol

Yup I live in Houston and it was at like 5pm lol. It was more of a side street so traffic was limited.

lol oh
we just got stuck at one of the main intersections
we were just worried cause we just threw plates from another car on there to drive it home lol so we didnt really want to worry about getting stopped and arrested for driving an unregistered car.

Yes that would indeed cause some concern for me too! Glad it worked out though.

yea we didnt worry as much since my uncle is a cop and he was with me in the car. lol
