Background of the car:

A friend of mine in high school who was two years older then me used to own this. He jumped the motor out of timing and 2 years later its in my hands.

When I bought it, it came with no seats, denji rep head lights, momo hub, nrg quick release, and a bunch of other little stuff.

Here it is on the first day i got it. Also, I picked it up for $400.

Now i'm waiting on the guy Im suppose to get the b16 from to put it back together but if it takes to long, I might settle for an ls or ill throw the d series back in (after valve adjustment) and save for a motor from hmotors.

But before the day ended, this arrived:

#297779 looks like a good start but you need to move this to the "Your Ride" section lower in the forum.

#297796 I'd get that motor setup. B18B with a GSR tranny will be nice.

#297800 Im not sure if the ls will be good enough though. Everyone around me has a gsr setup so i think ill notice that power difference lol.

#297801 I'd rather have an LS then a B16A2. They're solid motors and can definitely be quick. They're super sick to turbo, as well. Good luck :thumb:

Not much of an update but got my works rebalanced since the crash.

Update on motor:
Plan is to run that d series to the ground since it looks healthy and I'll be starting college in the fall. Gonna give the ej fresh paint though.

Got right to work after getting out of class today and got straight to work. I started by pulling all the unnecessary junk out of the car, also threw in the spare blue seat which hopefully wont be in there by IA:

Looking to sell these parts locally:
Image

Then I went to get that big sub and amp out the trunk:
Image
Image

Im not a bass guy so this is useless to me.

I just love how this looks :)
Image

Then the fun part:
Image

Dirty D (please ignore my finger lol):
Image

Then the bad luck atarted coming.

Cracked my windshield more trying to get my mirror on, and to make it worse, the mirror still isnt on:
[Image

And found out the glove box handle is broken. No clue how to open it:
Image

So, I'm wrapping it up for the day. Thursday I will be pulling off the suspension.
