alright guys i'm wondering your opinion on something, as of now i have a y8 head on my back porch needing to be taken to a machine shop and then i need to buy an ecu for it and i can swap the heads over and have a mini-me, or i've been thinking about maybe just saving up and going for a b20b from hmotors now the b20b i would need a wiring harness and motor mounts and and ecu and a transmission and axles to run it all, with the mini-me i just need to quit being lazy and take it to the machine shop and then snag me an ecu from ebay, but the power difference the two is obvious and the fun and sound of the two is and even bigger difference so which do you guys think i should go for? thanks for your input ahead of time.

Well it took me and my brother in law two days of like 7 hours of work but my sedan now has rear disc brakes and is in dire need of new camber arms and an alignment and possibly an integras brake master cylinder

no real update to speak of, finally bought the rear camber kit seeing as i broke the stock one while doing the rear brake swap, haven't touched the motor just oil changes everything is all the same need tires and im pretty sure i'm doing the mini me, i don't have the money or a need for a b20 right now, and have been told good things about the d15to16y8 mini me swap (a friend said his could hang with a gsr? im thinking he had a better transmission, gearing is everything)

as of now im trying not to drive the car any, the tires i bought were used and only had like a month of tread left for daily use and i bought them like 6months ago so i have some threads showing on the inside of the tires (plus i got an alignment done and my buddy who was doing it left all -5* of camber so they wore out pretty quick i already ordered new tires should be here (hopefully) within two weeks at most then mount and balance and alignment and take out all the camber i can and also raise the car back up a bit, im just too low, have been for a while, i did it for looks and i just feel like the car isn't "mine" you know.

Man looks like alot of people are skipping over your posts (as mine as well) keep posting tho, everybody like updates with pictures! 
I just read your posts on this last page, good job on doing the rear disk conversion (hope you got the correct 4040 prop valve). What camber kit you go with?

well the only real update now is that i got new tires, (which i didn't get pictures of but w/e) and got them installed, kumho ecsta ast 195-50r15 's
i wont be going back to the shop i went to the technician was just chit-chatting the whole time and took for ever so i missed picking up my girl from work on time, and he told me to my face that he didn't care what i had to do he'd do it when he did it, when i told the manager he just told me not to bother the tech and to sit my a$$ down... needless to say, i was pissed but they had my car and keys and money and there was nothing i could do,
on another note i might be getting a lil something for free from a buddy of mine here soon, i don't want to say what it is cause it's not a sure thing but the odds are pretty good, but if it happens i will be the happiest dude on earth
now for some pics lol

picked up some amber corners from a buddy of mine but there for a coupe/hatch so the fitment is off, im rocking them anyway for now just cause i couldn't stand my miss matched usdm ones, and better than that i picked up a yakima roof rack and bike rail for my mountain bike just need another bike rail so me and my g/f can go riding together some more. still no word on the big news that i was talking about starting to lose faith where that comes in but i bought an si tranny the other day probably putting that on this weekend or next, i'll try to get some pictures this weekend cause my camera broke so i have to use my g/f's phone, my phone sucks, lol. thats all i got for now.

oh i forgot to mention that i picked up a set of integra tan seats also, carpet cleaned them and installed the front ones the rears looked like a little more work than i was up to at the time so i'm holding off on those for a bit.
like i said hopefully pics soon, i got a new job so schedules are all over the place right now.

well its been a while, not too much going on with the car really, i decided to keep the motor and trans stock cause i get a ridiculous 50mpg highway some how but i did recently put an ek center console in and its pretty good, i also bought another car to tinker with and surprisingly enough did the mini me swap i'd been talking about doing for two years it runs "okay" but it keeps throwing codes and is being a pain and the harness is all hacked up from the previous owner so as of now its on hold till i get another job, i lost that "new" one after 11months there.
