This has been a real shitty year for me I had my house burglarized then my wheels stolen 2 months after and then a few months back someone thought it was a good idea to stop in the middle of the freeway. I had just finished the jdm headlight conversion and s14 ks aero wing.I thought about sending it to the crusher but I love this car way too much so I decided to start over with a makeover from a deal I couldn't pass up.

Yep I pulled some dents out but greyhound shipping plus container shipping is a pain in the ass I don't even want to ship a car anymore.

Keeping a 240 clean is real rough I'm le tired of it.

Why would anyone want to swap a CA into an S14? laugh.gif

Looking very tidy, though! Always a fan of facelift S14s smile.gif

hey CA's are very underrated and dogged on! dont judge by liter judge by potential.

the 1.5 liter F1 4 cylinder engines back in the f1 days are just as lethal at the v8's they were running awhile ago.

Don't get me wrong; my first car was an '89 RS13 180SX. I just don't know why anyone would put a CA18DET in an S14. But that may be because I'm used to the JDM/NZDM offerings, and have never been stuck with a KA24. My understanding though is that there's not a huge gain to be made swapping a KA24DE to a CA18DET, in power or in torque.
