this will sound stupid for most people but any constructive comments are welcome.

im thinking of buying a cheap integra gsi/vtir shell and putting a fresh b18cr in it.

reason being is that its hard to find a fresh dc2r these days and i want to start from the bottom up so i know everything about the car.

in terms of the shell/chassis most will have clocked more than 150k kms, im trying to keep the range of below 170-180kms. but still, should i be worried of putting a fresh powerful motor in a 15 year old chassis which has clocked more than 150k kms?

i was thinking of a dc5r but not sure if the styling is my cup of tea

pros and cons anyone?
