Probably an S13
Coupe, but hatch would be interesting.
Manual only. Too lazy to convert.

Pretty sure all of them are 4 lug so you're going to have to convert to 5 lug if you want any good wheels.
Look for rust on the rockers, trunk and strut towers.
Try and get a 91 and up (IIRC) thats when they started the DOHC motor.

yeah S13's are nice, I prefer the hatch since the coupes look like Integras with popup lights. lol

Coupe with silvia front is awesome.

Hatch with origin or rocket bunny kit would be so awesome.

X2, Strut towers, Rockers, Frame Rails and rear Wheel wells all collect dirt and rust. Check them.

Try and find a 91+ SE if you can since I believe it Should have the VLSD(I think, I forget which models in the US had the it)

I'm just throwing around idea's fr when I have the money to actually do a proper build. I have a crazy idea and I think I could do it with a 240, but its probably already been done.

I want to build a 200+ MPH Texas Mile 240. Going over 200 MPH on land is on my bucket list and I think this would be the safest/coolest way to do it.

Woah same. Eventually want a car capable of 330km/h in the standing mile, then do it tons of times.

This is also depending on the motor, a Silvia Q's, They had the N/A motor

Also if you can, Stay away from a Super Hica's car. Unless you want to delete the Hicas.

That would be scary. I topped it at 133 (seriously it went that fast) and over 120 the front doors starting flopping in the jams. It was a bit scary to say the least.
