If you can drive turbo, slap a turbo in that bad boy, the SOHC VTEC with a turbo puts out excellent power... $2k is pretty tight for an engine conversion, unless you know people... You're usually looking at $3k for a B16A DOHC VTEC and B18C2 DOHC VTEC from a half cut, thats not including the labour for the conversion - which ranges from $400-$1k...

As for a white EG, they tend to look good lowered with a nice set of 15inch JDM/replica wheels on them... Not to mention a mugen half lip *drools*..

Get some pics up of your little beast, hope to see you at a few meets in the future...
