You can get a 98 with about 80K on the motor for around $5000 maybe more. With a none running older car it should be much less.

Are you selling the car or buying it? You have a limited market on the car regardless of what motor is in the car. This would be good for someone that has a daily driver already and is looking to swap an sr20 or an rb25 or rb26. Most younger people do not have the luxury to have a daily. They would typically lower it and use it as a "project" or "drift" car give up on it after awhile and then a perfectly good platform is wasted. It could be hard to sell, many people will not have cash that would be interested in the car and it would hard to get financing on such a small amount.

Nothing more then 2500 and thatz if it has not one little scratch. the 240 is getting cheaper. if you make a bid say 1000 since it has a blown motor. Is it a zenki or kouke? zenki lights look ovel and kouke look more agressive close 2 s15 lights.

i made a little mistake but corrected it in the next post, i was also a 240 fanatic, i wanted one before i got my LS but figured out that their starting to turn into a honda so i go got the LS400 and gonna stick to a vip style.

KA-t is a possibility but he has a blown engine so we were thinking about more powerful engines ie. Sr20, Rb25, Rb26 motors and possibly a 1jz.

well i had 2 s13's and was with a drift team Powerzamcam check out the site.
realy if you want power dont go with a SR20 ( i jsut dont like them) i would say KA-T amazing will crush a SR20 if you have around the same power and RB's are nice a litle on the money side tho. and if you want a RB go to the Baby RB CA18DET amazing motor if you dont know about it look it up or jsut look at the HKS 240 the black teal and purple one CA18DET 1500hp amazing.

I agree. If you can get it for $2000, drop a SR20DET (blacktop) in it, a few grand on engine, turbo, drivetrain and suspension upgrades and at the $10-12k mark you should be pushing a safe, trackable 350whp - and in the S14 chassis that's gonna be terrifying.

I love the KA-T, but if the engine is already blown, you might as well save some time and money and switch to the SR20... KA-T parts are generally harder to find.
