#275243 well, its been awhile since my last update. I've been fairly busy over the past few months. I stockpiled an all new front end, got it primered and installed. thankfully that pretty much fixed any issues i had with the body not lining up. i also got some fog lights, wrapped my mirror covers in carbon fiber vinyl, got a new steering wheel, some gsr leather seats for the front, painted my valve cover, got an upper strut bar, dropped her a couple inches, hooked up some 6x8's to replace my blown rear deck speakers, put in an optional audio console, got some new taillights, and had a header installed and new 2" pipe all the way back. thats really all that I can think of right now, it's still pretty early.
anyway heres a quick pic from my phone. I'll take some better ones tonight and put those up.

#276897 Thanks it's fern green.
I am going to pick up a d16a6 shortblock later this week. It's only 50 bucks, so I figure at the very least I can get the cam out of it and scrap the rest to get most of my money back.
At the most, if it's in good shape I may keep it and build it up for turbo or a mini me. I know that theres not much difference between it and a d15b7, but it'll be something I can work on and still drive the car.
But either way the cam will go into the b7 for now.

I've done a bunch of research on it and it looks like I will need to use a mix of crx and eg mounts, a d16z6 IM with fuel rail and injectors. I am unsure about which dizzy and ecu to use though. I know it will definitely need tuned when it's done, but do I go with the a6 ecu or keep the b7 I have now since it won't have vtec?
I know the a6 isn't the most powerful, but I figure since it a good deal it will be a good first engine build.
