S13 or S14 Jim??

I have an S13 as my run-around thing to keep me entertained whenever the RST is being fixed...

Standard - 170bhp, RWD, good fun, pretty good for learning RWD i reckon Not exactly fast though.... i havent actually looked up the book stats on the car, but im guessing pretty much 8seconds to 60 and 140mph top end, based on the fact its pretty much identical to a 2.5 V6 Mondeo . Handling as standard so far in my experience is not good, but maybe my standard shocks are tired so its hard to know.

Get some decentg tyres on there that are good in the wet, needed IMO to learn RWD in the wet. Sliding in the dry is easy, in the wet though with shit tyres and honestly, lethal springs to mind

Tuning potential is good too, 270bhp being not majorly difficult, with stages in between around the 210bhp mark (stage 1 ish) etc

Hope this helps....
