93 ka-e hardbody, no CEL baffler

So I have a 93 2wd 5spd d21 as a daily driver while I build my ka-t 240. In the last 3 months it has started losing power, gradually losing more and more and more to the point where it is hardly drivable. I have checked and replaced quite a few integral parts to absolutely no avail. The TPS was defi...

I imagine he was being facetious. BTW I too once had to remove a front bumper from a viper just like that one only it was white with blue stripes. The owner was unhappy with how the stripes lined up from the factory so we had to redo them. It had 12 miles on it lol

Depends on where you buy your parts. You could do it for 5k if you found a lot of good deals on forums and craigslist and such. But you're not gonna do a 500hp build with all new parts for 5k. I'm about 3k into a 350hp build and still don't have injectors, fuel pump or any means of tuning. Nevermind...

Rotas arent cheaper than new Mustang wheels. I got 2 18x9 and 2 18x10 sve drift wheels brand new shipped for less than 700 dollars. But to each their own, honestly I want a set of 370z wheels 8)

Sorry to bump an old thread, but from what I'm reading, the s14 sr has the tb placed higher? So if I'm running an xcessive intake, would the s14 sr20 fmic kit be a better starting point for me? Obviously some modifications required

Im thinking about 18x9 with about a +10 offset or something around there.
Good call, look into mustang wheels too, lots of good sizes and offsets for a great price
