Should I keep the EK9 or get a S14(nissan silvia)?

[jojo168]

I was offered an S14 tuned to around 280 hp. But the problem is i have to sell the EK9 first before I can get it. What you guys think? Just keep the EK9 & forget about it?

What year is an s14? In my experience the overall build quality is horrible compared to the ek9, interior falls apart etc... Furthermore the engines are usually highly abused and while all performance cars are abused not all can handle it, lets be honest here, Honda engines can handle much more abuse than most, if your going to get it make sure you check it over really well!!

RWD turbo = good fun! but as blinx said build quality isnt as good as the honda. my mate has 1 and it is mental to drive in the wet.

You'll find yourself fixing more things and dealing with more little problems with the s14, so just keep that in mind. But it's really up to you what you like more, a quality FWD car with handling prowess or a beastly RWD turbo car. You're the only one who can decide what you prefer.
I would do this. Take your EK9 out for a really fast romp on some back roads, then take the S14 for a good test drive. See which you feel better in. Take into account which you like the looks of better, which is in better condition, and which you feel is more usable for a daily.
The EK9 is definitely the better all around daily driver in my opinion.

Keep the EK9 mate, but it all depends what you want from the cars?

Here in our place, i see alot of Silvias but only few EK9s and EK9s here is more expensive than the Silvia.

Really depends on what you want to use the car for. If you track it or want to start drifting then a rear wheel drive car will be a new experience but if you are just using it day to day then its just what ever you prefer. But I heard that turbo cars after abuse can eventually lead to problems faster then NA cars.

ok guys, ive decided i will keep the EK9.
Thanks for all your suggestions.

Dunno why you guys are slating the S14 so much, a bit biased i think... The SR20DET engine is one of the most reliable you can get.
But I do agree with the points about what you really want. The ek9 would make the better daily driver as the rwd is quite dangerous during winters! The EK9 around the track is going fast around corners whereas the s14 is going sideways around corners. All depends what you like more!
