Ok update time.
I've decided to hold off the engine swap until later. The D15 I have works it just needs a tune-up. And all the little things need to be replaced. Which is all happening now.
I got my mechanics and shop all lined up and ready for the projects to come. A small "team" has been established that will be modding my ride with me.
So, The step I'm on right now is to purcahce a fresh "new" set of all the wiring in my dashboard.
I'll start a new thread in the "Chassis - Electrical" baord. So talk to me there about it or PM me. I'm looking for the wiring harness that goes in the dashboard. It plugs into the ECU, fuse box, climate control, ignition, everything in the front end of the car pretty much. So if you have one, let me know.
Here's the link to the other topic about the dash harness...

After I get a new wiring harness and everything is plugged in, I'll be re-building the engine somewhat. It already runs and is in great shape, but all the gasgets, bushings, fluids, filters, and tubes will be replaced with new stuff.
Once all the new goodies are purchaced and the engine is torn down, I will clean and re-paint anything I had painted before with fresh high quality finishes. I'll still use the same engine-proof heat resistant paint.
The last thing to do to get it running is customize the engine harness to tuck the bay. The new battery will be placed in the trunk, and wired when the engine is being re-built.
But, for now, I REALLY need that wiring harness guys. (it MAY even be TWO wiring harnesses I'm not sure)
If you can't drive fast...look good.
