Re: My First Car - Very slow build
Looks like a decent start, good luck! And may I be the first of what will probably be many to recommend you NOT go the b16 route. I really doubt you'll be happy with it, while it is a fun engine from 5kRPM and up, it has really got nothing under that, and it feels it. The transmission is geared so low that the engine will be screaming along at around 4.5k-5k just keeping up with traffic on the highway. I used to have one in a 1990 hatch and I would never get a car with one again. Get a b18 at least.
