Why are you getting involved?


Let RS76 asking his damn question in whatever wording he decides to ask it. Don't reply to what I posted.

RS76. It's best not to modify springs. You should either purchase springs engineered for the intention of being lowered, or purchase coilovers.

For future consideration, some members don't find it humorous to spell out words in awkward ways. Most will not take you seriously.

What the fuck? I am not a dumbass -.-

I was talking about coilovers since post one, who the fuck would even modify stock springs

Its not really a hard concept. I wanted to know a fair price for an s13 coupe with rims and coils and nobody cant answer a simple question.

[2fast4y0u]

no one answered you because you asked like a dumbass with the ebonics or what ever you want to call it.

anyway, $2000-$2500 would be the high side. $1500 is a decent price for a s13 with little no mods.
put it this way, if you can find a stock s13 with just coilovers $1500 out the door would be a good price. i just picked up a bone stock, i mean BONE stock s13 for $700 after taxes and registration. but its nothing to look at...rusty, but trusty

RS76. Relax. I never said or inferred that you are being a 'dumbass'. I merely stated a common agreement among members. I didn't say "You shouldn't modify...", I said "It's best not to modify". Please understand the difference. I am not making an accusation.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Thanks. Sorry for talking in your so called "ebonics"

both of you shut the fuck up.

or just listen to Xpert

[sic240]

ques, i left my radio running with the engine off while i put on some new rims. the car never gave me trouble to start before but tho\is time when i tried to start it, it didn't even turn over. i was on hill so i rolled it and tried to kick start, it didn't, i tried to jump it still nothing, out of ideas can anyone help?

[shiftdrift]

charge the battery? or get a jump start.

[xpertsnowcarver]

Check your fuses. Try a fresh battery.
Apparently, some batteries can die to the point where it won't let a car stay on.

[Wake]

my battery has died like that before it can happen.

your saying you tried Jumping it with a running car and it didnt do anything?

Get a new battery then check the fuses.

[sic240]

i dont think its the battery because the head lights and the light in the cabin works...

looked for the switch, found it, it wasnt stuck, played with it .. and my red brake light is still on .. any other reasons why this brake light remains ON in my cluster?

That light will turn on for two reasons. The handbrake I mentioned earlier, or your brake fluid reservoir is low.

Question- Once in a while my bov (hks) would blow off making different sounds. Not all the time, once in a while is this compressor surge? how can i tell if im getting compressor surge? any advice will be appreciated thanks.

[hOngsterr]

or the power thing, it might be because your terminals might be having a well enough contact? thats what happened to my GF's car, her camry had corroded terminals, the car would start then die out of no where, and lights and everything were on but the car couldnt stay on and since i didnt have tools, i had to beat it so some came off, and the car was good again.


hope that helps.

Nice! My light is stuck also so I just ignored it, but now I know NOT to ignore it due to low fluid possibly.

[DDB240sx]

I apologize if this has been asked before. I've got an s13 with an almost basic sr20 red top set up. Call me wacky, but for some odd reason I'm not wanting to keep my front mount setup. It's nothing overly special or expensive anyways. But is there an upgraded side mount intercooler setup available? I'm not looking for big numbers out of my car and I still want a cleaner set up than the factory piping that came with the oem side mount. I've seen talk of an ARC one, but I'm not familiar with anything of that sort. Thanks in advance.

Long ago, before there was eBay people would often cut and/or heat springs to either change the stiffness and/or lower there cars.

Weird right? Back then though, you also had to make you own exhaust and stuff and body kits involved chopping up stock metal and reforming it. Then again it was the "Before (eBay) Times".

As for price, it's all about what you want. Live in the Midwest? Expect to pay $3,000 for a stock DE without Rust.

Live in Socal? No doubt rust free cars are a end a dozen.

Coils, wheels? Brand, condition? A set of Volks is worth over $2,000, a set of Drags barely $200.

My budy bought a Silver 90 Coupe in January. We drove 3hrs to get it. Blown engine, trashed bumper, hood and driver headlight.

Beyond that, car us mint, rust free and the HUD even works. Blue interior, PW no sunroof. Year old Ksports, Work Knock-offs in 15's with air holder tires.

$1,000 + $300 to pick it up (gas, trailer rental et al).

It was a steal then and looking back, still is. His RB25 came in 2 weeks ago and will go in the cat this summer.

It is spelled "because". You are posting, not texting.
I'm not going to bang someone up for saying "breaks" when the mean "brakes". Makea damn attempt at proper English when asking for help.


Seeing your to busy to type out "you". "because" or "and", I'm to buisy to help beyod "buy a haynes manual".

All my posts on here are via iPhone

i just accidently dropped a windshield wiper cap into my engine bay, and i cant find it. Now when i start my car, it stalls. Where could i have dropped it into?

[stinky_180]

What is a good way to insulate intake piping? My injen intake piping gets pretty hot after installing a Mishimoto radiator. I thought about using 'header wrap' but i think it will make the front of the engine bay look like shit.

Any suggestions?

So, how much would it cost (estimate) to ship from a state like California or Nevada to Washington? Ive got about $2500 and im just looking for a car with coils and rims, maybe exhaust.

You wont rub your fenders if you roll them. 17x9+17 is suken in the front on a s13.

so the 17x9+17 wont rub on the front fenders if i roll them, and thats if im on the 225s? or on 245 or 255? should I go 40 sidewall? I'm just eyeballing the room there, and im kinda doubting it.

btw whats the rim/tire size of a stock S14 SE 5 lug wheel?
and whats the largest size rim/offset and tire size can i go before im touching my stock struts or rubbing fender? I'm just tight on money and I want to see if i can save by not getting coils.

[MikeBeBoostin]

alright guys im looking to change my exhaust out. i have a 91 240 with a sr20, the exhaust on it right now is the kokimoto exhaust system, i don't like how huge the tip is, so im looking to change.

would a MAGNAFLOW SS MUFFLER WITH TIP 2.25" INLET 14X5X8 work with the car without producing 2 much back pressure?

here a picture of the muffler.

[shiftdrift]

what size is the kakimoto exhaust?
