Hello everyone! Newbie here to the site and the 6th gens smile.gif

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 wink.gif 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.

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. biggrin.gif
