[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

get the SR. It's easier to save for little shit a bit at a time than to save up another chunk for an SR.

[hellfire]

^^ Same here. I know everyone says suspension over power, which I agree. BUT in this case, you'll blow the money on smaller things and not have as much to show for it. Get the SR now, then save up for one item at a time in that list you have.

lol but i though coilover were most important mod :( lol but damn i could have an sr :)

[the other wes]

lol but i though coilover were most important mod :( lol but damn i could have an sr :)

boost makes the vaage wet!!!!

if you have to say that to me you are a boost virgin.

once you go boost you never want to go back!!!!

its an addiction! im at 14psi and i want more!

[_yoshi]

lol i know but am i gona be able to control my self and stay out of trouble?
:(

[hellfire]

Haha, stock SR is 205BHP. Altima's have more then that. You'll be fine. ;)

lol THIS is my x altima i loved it with all my heart i kinda hooked it up it was fast as hell lol it was torqy :)

[the other wes]

yeah you should be fine with stock sr. hell im only running lowering springs with mine. does your 240 have factory stock suspension? if it does your car will now sit a little higher in the front due to the less weight with the sr.


and if you cant handle it. learn to!

[_yoshi]

lol i will ive learned my speedn lesson but i got tokico oem buuuuut i choped a couple loops its slamed hhahaha :) bumpy nasty horrible feeling

[towel_head]

get coilovers, i was racing a civic a month or so ago and it was a tie but then turns were coming up, he slammed on the brakes, and i didn't even let off the gas, coilovers ftw, btw, i beat an sr today with my ka....

[I RON DON KEY]

you're 17 and busted your ass for this money?

don't get anything and save up more. don't be an dumbass and use it all...

[_yoshi]

gosh now im debating again :(

[towel_head]

you're 17 and busted your ass for this money?

don't get anything and save up more. don't be an dumbass and use it all...

if you have enough money for an sr just get some used coilovers from rip garage and get some good brakes, you'll have plenty left over

[_yoshi]

well i got my 5lug con.
se's
kouki tails
lip ,fogs,
full exhaust,
in 1 month

and after i go sr i will save like a motherf.....r :)

and rip g. got good s14 coilovers?

[I RON DON KEY]

gosh now im debating again :(


seriously don't. what answers can you expect from a car forums? i'm only a year older than you. think ahead in the future of all the other expenses you'll need. isn't college next year?

yea bro i feel you i wana go to gwinnett tech and get like hands on training like at a nissan plant u know?>

[Infinite]

honestly i'd set the car up first... suspension, etc
learn to control the car with the new upgrades then worry about power
a 240 with proper suspension mods is a whole different beast than a stock suspension 240

QFT

But really, if you have the cash for an SR, I'm assuming you have around $2500 to spend on a mostly stock S14.

Personally, with that cash, if you do the labor yourself, you could get:

Decent set of coilovers: $800
Do a full poly bushing kit: $130
Some tension rods: $100
RUCAS: $130
Subframe collars: $50
Some fatter sway bars: $200ish,
Some wider wheels, like some Z33 wheels or Cobra wheels: $300ish
Tint and a bumper. About $200
As well as some money still in your pocket, and to get all the routine maintenance and shit done.
Hell, you could even pick up a nice steering wheel, or put some good tires on your shit with the remainder

Not to mention selling a good amount of the stock shit, and making a little money back.


But I suppose I look at it that with that kind of cash, I could do alot more to my car than just a stock motor swap to make it as enjoyable.

[sullen]

wes has a good point... more bang for the buck... you could always do sr in like 2 years... im 20 now, and i miss my sr though. even though it was a broke piece of shit, at least i was the only guy in the neighborhood with a sr...

[Chacal]

I agree with wes and sullen !!!

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

I'm figuring if he gets the SR done now, next month he could start with bushings, or used coilovers, and go from there...

[sullen]

true, but he is 17.... part timer job.... not alot of money that CAN be saved. theres gas, cell phone, insurance.... and no money coming in practically. either way, he is gonna have fun with the car. whether he gets boost, or does handling. swapped suspensions on 240s make them into a completely different car. a nice handling car... and boost is just plain fun...

[Wes]

I can see the logic on both sides.
I suppose I just like to say I have alot of goodies for the money, rather than just one thing.
But shit, if he wants a mix, he could just do a low boost KAT with all that cash, and still have money for suspension.

[sullen]

very true wes...

[Wes]

I'm all about bang for buck.

And I mean, if the kid has like, $2500 to play with, I'd rather spend 2k or less, and have alot of fun for cheap, than blow the full $2500 just to get 200whp, ya know?

[sullen]

yea, but i want a new car and sr... again.

[Memme]

Or you could get coilovers and put together a KA-T and have coilovers and far more power than a stock SR... and probably money leftover... but whatever... dead horse.

[sullen]

no, ive thought about kat as well. i wouldn't mind doing that, but the problem becomes doing it right. i mean, you know how expensive a aem ems is? fuck me running.... they need to have some kind of a credit line with that shit, like the tooltrucks...

Not even remotely required to "do it right"... that's overkill for a KA...

That's craziness...

Just get a Calum RT if you want to go nuts... any ECU tune for that matter.

[sullen]

apexi safc2 sucks.... i don't want to bother unless i can control the spark timing.

so whats a calrum rt? only other thing i can think of would be like a emanage

[ct9a gsr]

Buy a stash of the most popular street drugs and become an amateur street chemist at night... watch your money multiply real quick, then buy everything you wanted in your original post.

Now thats QFT.

[_yoshi]

thanks guys i love yall

[sullen]

im beginning to piece together a ka turbo kit...

[PLAY]

If I could do it all over again, I would get suspension and a diff first, then a motor swap.

I regret being boosted on some shit suspension.

[Wes]

Brent, is your car even running yet?

[PLAY]

Sadly it is not.

[Wes]

Hasn't it been in the process for over a month, atleast?

[FCJohnny]

I loved having boost, I didn't have a SR but I had a CA. :] I had tokico shocks with intrax springs. Ride was stiff as fuck I was very happy with my suspension. When I had Gr-2's and sportlines it felt bouncy to me sometimes. Personally I would open a roth IRA but thats me. I don't feel like dumping money into cars anymore. Get a civic :]

[_yoshi]

not a honda fan :(

[Casey]

i gave up on an sr months ago.

lol... honestly, given your situation i would buy the sr first. but i bought coilovers cuz my shocks were blown to hell.

i think will, decker, tyler, and flip and a few others can attest to seeing the front shocks on my car lol

BOUNCEY BOUNCEY BOUNCY

[sullen]

bouncy like a nice set of tits?

[cjacob74]

do the sr, so you have it, cause its harder to get another 2500 all at once than getting 2k piece by piece. like get the sr, save DD that, then get coilovers. then save and keep doign that till ur suspension is fully built. and ull have a sr.

[_yoshi]

maybe ill just get suspension first till my ka goes to hel :) i hope like in a year

then i will go sr .
and i will get more bitches :)

[cjacob74]

ho wmany miles are on ur ka, if its over 210k, go straight to sr. just do it and get it over with. cause ull have a running low milage motor, thats produces power.. then u can go to work like normall, after like 3 checks or 4 ull have 800 or so dollors, get suspension, then ull be set for a long time. then add on to the suspension, trust us. do that becuse ull blow it all on suspension once you decide not to do the sr, and it will take you forever to get have the money all at once for the sr.

[flip]

I always say to do suspension and diff first. Its what I did and I wouldn't have been very happy with an SR in stock suspension car. That car with the KA, coilovers, and a bunch of suspension arms was so much fun to drive. A diff made a huge difference as well...

On the other hand I understand having a large chunk of money to buy the SR now but if you saved up once, you can do it again.

What would be the deciding factor for me is the condition of your current motor. If you have no reason to believe it will go out any time soon, go suspension, and diff and enjoy :). Otherwise, maybe consider the SR so you have a reliable ride.

[cjacob74]

if he thinks its gonna blow in a year or less. it could just start having problems tomorrow, my buddies ka. its been going out for 3 months now, it looses power constantly, it will die on him, its just multiple things that keeps going wrong, if ur egnine isnt in good condition like flip said, do the sr now.

[_yoshi]

my ka has 124,507 on it :)

thanks flip and jacob lol

lol thats what i said. oh suspention then motor.

which seems like the best idea.

but i went - tension rods, rear sway bar, coilovers, 5 speed, 5 lug, z brakes, rucas, tie rods, tie rod ends, new KA motorset after old one blew, and now im looking at needing:

single piece driveshaft
rear toe link
rear traction arms
alignment
front brake rotors + pads
full bushing kit
seats
knockoff dynamat throughout the car
airconditioning
s15 helical / 2way / 1.5 way *w/e i can get a deal on*

then, im boosting the ka.

so yea, i have some work ahead of me lol

honestly i wish i had 3500 2 years ago to put in coilovers, sr, tension rods and rucas.

so, haha you should jsut keep saving your money right now. so you can buy coilovers AND an sr

or

if you wanna not waste a good hunk of your life.

put a diff in your car. drift it stock. and save your money. invest it. and turn it into alot more money.

but that ^ probably wont happen.

[cjacob74]

oh well shit if your ka has 120k on it, you can drive it till ur 20. save the ka, save ur money, get what you can for suspension now, then buy the sr when you get the money to , ur ka isnt going anywhere anytime soon, and if you really want the sr that badly, do it and ill buy the ka from you.

[_yoshi]

i bought lsd already justa waiting to put 5lug. and lsd on together :)
then full suspension

[Wes]

All I'll say, is never put all of the cash you have into a car.

There are alot better investments, IMO.

[Memme]

Lets' noth forget thisd is a timing chain motoe.

[cjacob74]

[FCJohnny]

roth IRA ;]

[Nick Jeezy]

get a sr.

youll never get it if you do all that other stuff

[Memme]

Fuck a Roth... get something where the returns will matter in the short term... IPO IPO!

Find the next Yahoo...

of Oil...

or start slanging... that is hisk risk, high reward... short term gains, WITH NO TAXES!

[white_s14]

you need to think how strong your motor is now
?

[Memme]

If you're thinking that a KA is going to die on you and it's only got ~120K on it... either something is wrong with your thinking, or it has been badly abused by you, or the previous owner...

Check the compression... if it's good... turbo that bitch. 120K is nothing... and at least you know this motor... you'll know next to nothing about any SR you get.

[wantboost]

security first.....

especially if you are going to be leaving it a buford hwy.

[BigJack]

Be smart and spend it on a college education. That way you can make money easier with a degree. An SR is not going to send you through school, it's only going to help kill you faster.

[Turboboxer]

To boost or not to boost?:screwy:

Dude get the SR... other stuff later make car fast :yes:

[Memme]

/\ FAIL!

You're not doing that... why you telling him to?

Boost the KA, get suspension... and during that time, you'll have saved even more... and you won't have blown your load all in one shot...

[FCJohnny]

or start slanging... that is hisk risk, high reward... short term gains, WITH NO TAXES!

I x2 this DO IT!!!

[_yoshi]

security first.....

lmFAO hell yeah bro .

danger everywhere but ill shoot any body touching my s14 .
lol i snipe with a nine . my cars right n front of my balcony :)


I x2 this DO IT!!!


its impossible to sell drugs when everybody you know sells drugs ..
so wtf? is gunna buy my drugs if they sell drugs too? too many employes 0 customers. 0 cutomers = no profit . poseesion of oz or more felony i think :(

[Wes]

Thats why you buy whatever you want to sell in bulk, and undercut everyone else.
Or just make sure you have a good product, and folks will pay a little more.

[I RON DON KEY]

i wish i knew how to sell drugs.. and had customers. i would do it for mods and dump it all in a car, and an education.

[Wes]

I'd do it, and retire after a few hardcore years.

[GeNo]

It really depends on you! For instance me i did all my engine work 1st! i dont really car what she looks like as long as she pulls strong ya know what i mean!
