Default F20C powered E30

My son got this car after hearing me talk for years about how fun these cars are to drive. He enjoyed it for about 2 months before the head gasket popped. Being that we are a Honda family he wanted to swap a f20c in the car but he quickly found this was going to be a bigger project than he could tackle. I bought him a 2004 Accord V6 6 speed as a trade for the e30 and my buddy and I got to work....

we got a real starter from a local honda junkyard
