Depends, have you got a time machine?

(Seriously though, pretty hard, unless you have money and a lot of patience)

Close enough, but I hate the color on the first one. That second one needs moar RB28 .

Clean one with a manual? HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Cleanish one with a decent amount of miles and an automatic? Pretty feasible.

The process for a manual swap is very well documented but just know that is basically a requirement in order to end up with a manual s13 that isn’t a drift slut.

You’d have a better time finding the Ark of the Covenant.

I do see them, like MR2s etc... usually driven by boring looking people, who are the original owners. They will be great cars when they trade it in for a new Miata.

At the moment I would assume if there is one, it’s probably an automatic.

I almost bought a stock one last year, but it was probably imported grey market from the US and the engine was maintained (and I think rebuilt) by a guy who was younger than me (I was 23 at the time) so I Nope.jpeg out of there...

Better search for a real unicorn first. Might be easier.

Impossible. They do not exist in California. Well, I should say, good ones do not exist in California. If you want a 3-valve automatic ‘89 for $5000, I can probably find you one, but a KA24DE manual? Nope nope nope.

All your S13s are belong to me drift wannabes. A close-knit as the drift scene is back there, I’d be surprised if you have any either.

They exist, but you’ll pay $6k for it.

Found a few

https://frederick.craigslist.org/cto/5721548397… probably the last facelift manual car that hasn’t been thrashed

https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/cto/566924… high miles, and far from perfect, but manual and untouched mod wise. Not a fan of the wheels though

https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/568211… at this price, I'm convinced it has to be a scam...

Not impossible. Look for one being by a better-educated woman or an old couple. I’ve seen a few turds, but the old people even welded new metal onto the frame and converted to R134a A/C. Unmodded, sold for like $4,500.

The shitty S13s sell higher than stock ones somehow. I guess “fmic” and ISR coilovers negate maintainance-related dilapidation.

That’s it. If they exist, they’re the most undesirable model. Autos.
