> Yeah, I’m above average knowledge wise I would say, as I know alot more then most kids my age. Although I see what you mean about a stock car. I think i might hold out on the SR or RB swap and build up the chassis first to make sure it can handle the power without twisting. The good thing is though one of my friends might do an RB swap to his coupe so I’ll have a guideline to go buy. I know for sure I’m doing the one thing I’m doing is either a S13 or S15 swap as I absolutely hate the pig/shark nose looks wise. I shall see though, I hope to have my car by mid July, and a nice stock of parts by september… (suspension, rims/tires, lip kit, seats, harnesses, and maybe the front end conversion) I also want this to be a track car since I dont have money for two cars, is a gutted interior street legal or what, as long as I maintain the radio and etc?

Yea its all up to your own discretion, but i’d hold out on, the s15 front end espeically since its a HUGE investment and you dont want your nub g2 driving skills spinning a couple thousand dollar front end into a tim hortons. Gutted interior is legally acceptable, but if you cant afford 2 cars, i’d say keep the interior in until you have a beater. There’s no law that says you need an audio system. As long as you have all factory safety features installed and factory seatbelts (no 4 point harnesses) you’re pretty much good to go.

You can do with your car however you like, but just remember build and drive your car relative to your experience and make sure you dont make stupid moves like throwing a silvia front end onto a rusting coupe and driving it around without turn signals or a rebar just cause you’re to cheap to buy those. If you’re going to do a conversion, see it to the end, dont go half way and say “i’ll get that rebar later”.
