Who cares? If you care that much you can always take the car apart, clean the parts and put it back together. Now you have the best of both worlds. +1 for u2ndyno. i would never buy a stock car and seriously mod it again… i’d buy one mildly modified and take it the next step. let someone else make the mistakes and massage the car into something decent… then let them take the loss ---

I would tell him to do whatever the hell he wants with his money. If he’s asking what to do with it, it’s either cause he’s young and don’t know what he wants and just wanna impress his friends or he just has too much money to begin with. If you really like cars and wanna learn more about them and wanna go turbo or swap an engine because lots of people do that and you wanna learn, then buy a stock s13 and work your way up and learn. If you just wanna buy a tyte car to impress your homies and pick up pussies, then keep jdm\_dreamzing… ---

Since you can’t make up your mind, why don’t you buy a Silvia or 180sx? Your in the price range, maybe $1 - 2k more and you’ll have a low KM, all original turbo S13. ---

Unique route? you have no clue. KA-T’s have been over and done many times, there is nothing unqique about a ka-t at all. Big deal, you slapped a turbo on your stock motor, ooooooooooo so unique. > [@zackr\_downbeat"](#): > > ^^ i did not know it had 266 grand on it…didnt catch that part…my fault > > but he could sell most of the parts off the modded 240 to go sr > > and birdho53 its not your opinion…it was mine…therefor im allowed to say what i feel. and my reasoning isnt because of power…and no im not deciding on ka-t > > my reason is i just find when somone goes ka-t they took a unique route and not go sr. it has nothing to do with power…or which is better, they just did something not many people do. i just respect that more in my opinion. not dissing anything its just a opinion. so dont get your panties ina bunch ---

go with what your heart desires, there are plenty of things too do, and in the end, it comes to down too- money vs. happiness… (if thats what you were thinking) i just say, but something stock-ish, and you never know, you may decide you like the engine, and its time too mod it, or maybe you hate it and want nothing to do with k’s ever again… but if something else comes cheap, go for it, deals dont always come back… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-to-do-with-5000/103764.md?page=1)
