so i am a little limited on funds for the moment and my car has been sitting for sometime now. i have been wanting to rebuild my b16 tranny with new synchros, clutch, and third gear. but so far i only have the clutch so i still need about $700 worth of stuff, and now i find a b18a1 tranny on the cheap ($100).
well now i can't decide if i want to go through the trouble of putting on the b18a1 tranny or continue saving to rebuild the b16a2. i am eventually going to go turbo and i know the b18a1's gears are longer so that might be beneficial in the future. but i also was kind of fond of the short gear ratio of the b16 and it has an lsd and i did already buy a new clutch. and to be honest it doesn't look like i will be going turbo anytime soon.
yeah so those are the crossroads i am at, gimme some opinions cus i am stumped
