Nice car. Looking at picking up a convertable S13 here in a couple days...I can't wait. See will look something similair to this...

but with some different Work wheels and no top. :rockon:
2003 Silver SXT - Totalled
2005 Silver Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Turbo -Daily
1990 White SR powered 240sx - My sliding slut.

I miss my neon at times. She treated me well and taught me a lot about cars in general. I will always have a special place in my heart for these cars. Heres to the 2gn community.

Have your friend do the S15 front end conversion and make sure to get the HID headlights. Will take stock look to another level.
You can put a pig in a dog suit but you can't make it bark ... kinda like buying a 2gn and swapping in a SRT motor. (-2 for originality)

how does he plan on making a drift/auto x car??? the whole point of auto x in a RWD is to not let your back end slide out so you can go faster....how's that gonna work for ya?

Was thinking the same thing.

Two Completely different Setups and alot of tweaking of the suspension to make either one work well.

What SR20 turbo is he using? Hopefully he found the GT28 series off the S15 instead of the weak one from the previous years.

Still debating on picking up a S13 Vert for a daily driver. Keep us all updated. Should be a really fun car with LOADS more torque than any SR20 will ever put out.
