Default My 97 teg project...

Alright, first off this is my first post so I'll just explain my situation. I am 18 years old, currently working full time until september, which I'm off to college for auto.

I currently have a 97 anniversary edition Integra which is in need of some work...

-I have a third gear bypass in my transmission (third slips ..)
-and I have no compression in one of the clyinders..
-Car also has 390k on it (suprisingly the body is in great condition minus very little surface rust, which I can take care off..)

Car was a gift from my father, (passed down, was his old car) but it does need work, which he said he will pay for. Before I was planning to sell this car and buy a 93-95+ nissan 240sx kouki/zenki (kouki preferably, sr or rb powered) or a 98-99 subaru 2.5RS and convert it to a 93 JSPEC gc8, but my buyer backed out.

So I'm going to keep this car, but instead of rebuilding the car I'm going to consider a b18c1 full swap which will cost me $2000-2700(not including labour)(JDM toronto prices at $2700..yes canadian)
currently have a b18a1 I believe (non vtech).. so I was just wondering if people have done this swap before? after this and body work, the car will run and look practically new. Here are some pictures of my integra:















-edit quality of pictures are garbage because I used my camera phone

Looks pretty good for 390,000. I'd recommend restoring or replacing the headlights and side markers ASAP though, they look tired.

GL with the car.
