Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.
was expecting you to find some bodies in the trunk after seeing that first picture.
get the ka runnning and start in on the suspension.
clay bar and buff!
Thats what I am gonna do. My friend has some Megan racing springs for $50 so Im gonna buy them "even though they are Megans" just because they are $50 bucks. lol

i've got a lot of megan products on my car and theyre as good as anything else ive ever seen. Im not too sure why people seem to knock on the brand.Originally Posted by Gold'n S14
Yea Megan springs are just as good if not better than most springs...I've ridden on Teins and they dont feel any nicer than Megans. If you only want to buy springs instead of spending a grand or more on coilovers Megans are the shit. They're worth way more than what you pay, it doesn't matter what the douchebags say that think they're automatically too good for Megan stuff without ever trying it.
You get what you pay for. I've seen the adjustment knob break off shortly after installing Megan's. The shocks apparently aren't matched to the springs or simply aren't up to the task because i've seen them blown within a few months. I'm trying to verify it but I think Megan is a rebranded BC Racing coil-over (http://www.bcracing-na.com/). Google Image "BC Racing broken" and you'll find an unlimited number of broken coil-overs...
lol! Can't exactly go too wrong with a cold rolled piece of steel. There's not much point in comparing a low rate Megan spring to a Tein "show" spring either. Read the box on Tein springs, it says "Dressup Master".
This is how suspension works: you get a spring type for the application (linear or progessive) and a spring rate to meet the demands of your car. Then you get a dampener that matches the spring. If the dampener/shock isn't matched to the spring rate then 1) It's going to ride and handle like crap 2) It's going to be blown in no time.
All I'm saying is that if you're only buying springs Megans are a great way to save money. I hope you don't think I was implying that Megan springs are as good as a nice coilover setup...
The spring doesn't really matter as long as it's stiff enough for the use of the car. The quality of the ride will be determined by the shock/dampener, not the spring.
With a stock or cheap shock that can't keep up with the demands of the spring then it's going to ride like crap anyways so at that point it doesn't matter if $50 or $250 was spent on springs.
good information Speed Minded but lets keep in mind that he just wants to go low.
I've got megan coilovers on my car, most of my other suspension components are megan too, turbo many and exhaust are megan. I'm no hardcore racer by any means, but theyve held up flawlessly to weekend warrior abuse. Just my own personal opinion, i think a lot of the criticism of parts comes from hardcore racers and is adopted by street car drivers. I think most any aftermarket part is probably sufficient for street use/mild racing.
Im sorry guys, I have been buys with work so I havnt made any progress yet. I am in the process of trying to find a S13 Coupe carpet that is in decent to good shape so I can put the rest of the interior back in the car. Please PM me if you have one that you would be willing to sell.

MOAR
So I finally got some free time so today I just took out the radiator and Sunday I will be taking the head off the motor.
This is the culprit that overheated the motor making the head gasket blow.
