Hello everyone! Newbie here to the site and the 6th gens
I previously own a 5th gen with the 185 swap. I think I want to swap over to the 6th gen chassis because Ive always liked these more. I plan on throwing my 3SGTE in there along with some suspension, simple body kit with wheels etc. Ive been doing alot of searching, but its hard to find a discussion on this. If you guys could post your opinions on this, that would be great! So lets say I wanted to build a full out track car, what chassis would you reccomend? Im asking because I dont know the difference between the 94/95 chassis and the 96-99 chassis. I will be looking for a hatch back, and I do know that the 94/95's have the 2 post spoiler which I do want, but what about any other differences? Suspension wise, motor install...wise. And I know it will be cheaper for me to find a 94/95 chassis rather than a newer one Let me know what you think and sorry for all the blabble! Thanks soo much! |

buy a 94-99 GT hatchback.
in 97-99 they changed the front bumper, added side skits and a different steering wheel. besides that, its all the same body, suspension, etc. just stay away form the ST. that ones a little harder to swap, and has drum brakes in the rear. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

You could probably buy the 3s tranny and disc conversion for the difference in book price between the st and gt. I would go 4a for a track car. In that case the st would be a better choice. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.
