Well, i've been in the market for a new car and i think the S13 240 would fit my needs best.  Anyway, i've been lurkin on this board and F/A for a while now.  The only thing really holding me back from getting one within the next few months is the timing chain.  Is it really such a big problem?  How much would it be to replace the chain or guides?  I'm a broke 18 year old with 2-3k to spend.  How would you rate the overall reliability of your S13s?  Are there any other problems i should know about besides the injectors of 89 and below S13s?  Thanks.
