So that includes a B16B? Why not just buy the motor, or you going to go RHD?

ok now i am confused too cuz who the hell wants a b16b reguardless of it being a type r motor they are not even worth the money at all; especially if you already have a b16 in your car already.

Also IMO get the real desmonds or just stick with the stock itrs the 17's are not going to look that good.

No torque only matters below about 4500... thats like complaining about turbo lag... I have had both. If you know how to drive the car its really not a big deal But I DO love 8900 on a stock computer

not don't get me wrong they are strong motors they do what they do best top end and loud fucken vtec all day. it's just for the price of them i would rather save a little more to opt for the b18c or build another one.


so wait you are buying the whole front end or just the headlights? you do know that the they are exactly the same front ends right? the only thing that is different is the headlights...unless you plan on do the rhd converion, but still you can buy the bar front clip for 350 ( just dansh and everything to make it work from the old clip. i hope you didnt pay too much.

the headlights and foglights are differnt, but assuming he buys the front clip for i dont know 8 or 900? he can probably sell his current front end for like 700 witht he cf hood,

so it wouldnt cost him much to add ctr headlights, and oem corners, but it just seems like alot of work when he could just get another bumper for like 30 bucks, install some corner lights, and trade his hood for a set of ctr headlights

well nothing is physicaly different. the foglights are just a different color and so are the headlights.

all he needs is the headlights, fogs ( if he wants them) and some fenders for the sidemarkers and no one could tell the difference.
