Scuba's S13 Coupe- Updated mod list in the first post

So I've been looking for a project for awhile and have been between a dsm or a 240sx. Whatever I found first in the right condition for the right price would be my choice. So yesterday I found an s13 on craigslist and I just brought it home!

Heres the breakdown:

93 black s13 coupe
179k on the clock (runs like a champ)
Auto
Only rust is a small spot near the strut tower
Completely stock except for a pioneer stereo
Paint could be a lot worse but could be a lot better too

All I need is a flywheel, clutch/brake pedal assembly, and drive shaft then I'm ready to go. I'm working on getting the parts this week so I can swap the trans this weekend. :mrgreen:

oh and this is my favorite room in the house:

I can't believe how much these collars helped. Wheel hop is a thing of the past and the body roll was drastically reduced. I think I spent like $50 on these, not bad at all.

Where did you get the collars from, and did you find any cons to having them on your car? Also is the install pretty basic?
I might have to pick up some.

I ordered them off of ebay. As far as I can see they can't really differ much from brand to brand. They really made a huge difference on my car and for the price you can't go wrong.

The install was really easy too. All you have to do is jack up the rear end, take off the wheels, put a jack under the diff and unbolt the subframe bushings to put the collars on the top and the bottom. Move the diff up and down with the jack to adjust the subframe and fit the top collars on.

I can't think of a single bad thing that came from buying these. If you have anymore questions feel free to Pm me.
