good coilovers or just nice springs and struts. coilovers = expensive....lol

some strut bars...cant really name prices cause it depends on what you want. im going to son be buying new strut bars for my 180 and im getting JIC Magic cf ones...they are about 220 for each......

as far as drift days go, most likely a fire extinguisher and helmet, and recommended like roll cage, racing seats and harnesses...that kind of stuff. plus your car must pass a tech inspection....

hope that helps you....

hey thanx for your help

what kind of car are you goning for are you doing striaght drift or looking to make the car nice and drift it. You could just get a set of coilovers(1200-over 2000) and l.s.d.(coulple 100-over 1000).That would make for a good start, then you can transplant a new motor.(depends) I got shocks and springs and im regretting it , i should of saved up and got coilovers instead. You could go with the japanese front end after that(i love those).Drift days all you need really is a helmet and a pair of extra tires and tools. Have fun

go for a 91-94 coupe...dont bother with the early models...they only ran the ka24d which is sohc and runs less than the ka24de that was begun in 91....the de version has about 15 or so horses more stock do the fact it has more valves and is dohc..

[monkeymagic]

hey about how much do they go for 89-91 like 2-3 thou. thanx and can u guys help me set up like a cheak list wit prices because i need to know how much to save up thanx

[SilverGhost]

i got my 91 5-speed for 3k


but as far as the price list goes, its really hard cause the parts range from cheap to expensive, depending on what you choose to use and what company too....

Seriously, I would go LSD first. I got coilovers first, and as cool as it looks low, I can't get a good drift at all. An open diff. just lets on wheel spin while the other drags along slowing you down. I'm not saying its impossible, it just sucks. Don't get a vlsd either, if you have to go for it, but in the end, you are really gonna want a real clutch/helical LSD. other than that, coilovers, sway bars, bushings, etc.
