Icon4 guidance for first e.g. build

what up people I'm new to the form (central jersey) an had plans of building a eg started with a 90 crx with jdm b16a with a lsd. Blew the motor an brought a 93 dx hatch but then switch to a coupe which was auto but i keep my auto to manual swap parts. So i made this post to see where i should start off at .

good: car has no rust clean besides the rad support needing to be changed (which i already have need to get it put on)

auto to stick swap: 85% done other then that I'm not sure where else to start

Bad:Im not driving the car yet

will post pic soon as i get a chance too, so any info to lead me in a good direction cause i want to build the car to be simple and clean looking with some decent power on a budget

after the auto to manual do all outstanding maintenance and if you do not know if something was done previously do that.

After that set a power goal and decide on a budget.

Pretty vague, man. What are your power goals? What is your budget? For some people on a budget is a SOHC VTEC, for others it's a built and turboed LSVTEC.

So no plans then? Just stabbing wildly in the dark?

Read the FAQs as suggested and come back with specific questions. You aren't asking anything that cannot be found there.

Start off doing a ton of research .there will be just about as many threads as you need to answer all your questions. Just set a goal and go slow never go cheap on anything you do or it'll just cost more in the end.
