origninally, i was planning for a b18c vtir motor full conversion inc. tranny and the required certificates and regulations n whatnot,
got a quote for drive in and drive out 8k

another friend of mine, who i think is on ozhonda as well told me it would be cheaper to get a b20 full conversion with a b16/b18 vtec head.
going to call up the place who specialise in this frankenstien area tomorrow for a quote.

does anyone have any suggestions which one should i stick to? or any other ideas? as most know im running a d15b jap-spec motor with auto tranny stock as a rock and its not in the best condition gets smokey shit coming out of exhaust when i floor it not sure if its running rich or another problem.

any advice will be taken into consideration =D, im tight on cash atm and will be borrowing some of the money from the bank aka personal loan.

cheers n have a good night

save cash up, don't borrow for cars

could buy a modded eg for that money (one with a swap in place), plus the sale of your car, unless you've done significant mods to yours already

yeah, i think im going to have to wait even longer without borrowing then, i just dont trust myself with large ammounts i might spend it slowly on small crap.

no not going to sell this car, this car is almost one of a kind. needs alot of elbow grease n some lovin to get it goregous again. ill buy another car to drive around maybe, but ill still keep this car for the track n go crazy on it haha.
