Been covered before. Search it on up guy.

Better yet I'll sum it up for you.

Don't do it. Waste of money, product looks shoddy and quailty seems to be low.

Not many people do but she did it to get attention at shows. Lots of work into that thing. LS/Vtec with turbo setup, tons of body work, tons of interior work. I know its not what most on here are into but there is a lot into it. She is Impulse Productions, they put on all the import shows on the West Coast (Import Motion, Import Life, etc. etc.)

If she wanted a daily driven street car I'm sure she would have thought about that but that isn't what she was shootin for. She built a show car with some go under the hood.

And last I heard the car was for sale anyways. She has a CRX that is pretty wicked built for show as well as a couple other projects.

Well, not that it is by bag of tea either but it does what she wanted it to and thats what matters. Its her car and I don't think she was aiming to please everyone else. Besides, I'm pretty sure a turbo LSVtec is going to be faster than a GSR powered SI and it will get more points at a show too so I think it did its job well.

Hehehe, yeah, I'm in Portland. I would love to help do a tranny swap but I don't even do most the work to my own car. The guy I bought it from still does anything and everything I ask and usually just takes a 2 litre of moutain dew.

I wouldn't do it. There is ONE conversion I would do, and that's only because they're one of my most favorite headlights ever and that is the jdm integra front end. Mmm.

Yeah man. Just hit me on aim if you have problems and I will try to help. I don't know a hole lot but have some good resources to check with. I'm out in Hillsburo all the time but always for work so I'm never out there in my SI.
