I'd look for an S14 with the ususal sus/wheels/aero mods. Assuming you're not stuck in a smog state like Cali, a stock SR swap with fmic and exhaust should be plenty and reliable as well. You should be able to find some nice examples in the 10-12k range. Blow the rest on a spare set of baller wheels. For someone that wants something fast but doesn't know dick about cars, I'd stick to a simple engine setup. None of this built crap.
yeah, he wants something with a little kick. he plans on learning off of this car and he will have money to upgrade the engine bay area in the future. he knowingly accepts that he doesnt trust himself with a 450whp s13 anymore than he trusts himself with a GSX1300R.
