newbie....need advice on parts prices

SON240sx Automotive
1

just wanted to say hi to all!!
i used to drive a 02 wrx with all the power bolt-ons and done up suspension. due to recent financial problems, i had to sell the car. but since i love the process of modification, i found another base to start with. a 1992 240sx. my wrx made 270whp at the four wheels. so i’m looking to get the same if not better with the rear wheel platform.

here’s what i have so far:
-1992 black 240sx w/180ks
no modifications
pretty decent condition: no rust, clean interior
$3200

-SR20DET red-top full front clip
just ordered, not yet installed
cluster says 76ks

-KYB GR with tein springs
just ordered, not yet installed
wanted to start soft before going to c/o

pieces i have inquired about:
-s15 strawberry light full front end conversion
$2600cdn to my door (FRP, factory lights, cf hood)
IS THIS A DECENT PRICE?

-180sx JDM taillights with centre piece
$450cdn to my door
IS THIS A DECENT PRICE?

-skyline r32 4pot fr and 2pot rear
with rotors and all accessories
5 lug conversion
$1100cdn to my door
IS THIS A DECENT PRICE?

if i order all ^ i would just about hit my budget for this summer.
additional power and better suspension will be added on in the winter.

please advise the un-wise and let me know if those prices are decent and if there are any mods i should look into before those?

Seems like awesome prices to me… Would you be able to source more than one set of the 2nd and 3rd items? :smiley: (tails and brakes) I might be interested in the tails, and I’m 100% interested in the brakes w/ 5 lug conv.
Oh… and welcome to SON!

those prices look pretty good

S15 front (lights, fenders, hood, bumper, Hinges(?)) $2600?
seems low, but if they assure fittment

ah yeah, please share your sources.

i can get the five lug conversion brake kit anytime. there’s like 3-4 sets sitting in my friend’s basement.

in terms of the rear lights, there’s only one set.

the conversion kit is from CIS from the states

let me know if interested!

yes the conversion kit is with everything but paint…fenders/cf hood/fr bumper/factory lights…the fenders and bumper is made of frp - fibreglass reinforced plastic…the kit was made for s13 to strawberry light…so the fittment should be great…

btw, thanks for the welcome!

180sx JDM taillights with centre piece

yea really, link up the source

Will most def hit you up for the conversion when I have some extra scratch. Kouki tails are for people with money anyway, not me :wink:

sry, but there’s only one set of tails and they are reserved for me. there are 4 sets of brakes. 2xr32 (fr+rr+5 lug) and 2xs14 (4pot fr and 1 pot rr+ 5 lug) both choices are $1100. my buddy told me, that the r32 brakes have better stopping power, but the s14s are much more drifter friendly

I’m looking for 5 bolt hubs, I have the rest, just need the hubs.
