Default 95 Del Sol VTEC Resto-Mod

Well a series of unfortunate events has turned around in my favor and with a little bit of pure stupid luck i am now the owner of this 95 Del Sol EG2 VTEC
Sorry for the bad pic it was taken in haste. ill post more better ones once it gets home. Its original (though high km's) engine/trans, factory ac (not that cold, but kinda cold), and the bezzel has the button for cruise but no normal wheel controls but there's some aftermarket system hacked in (supposedly it works i couldn't get it too will have to experiment more, will probably change over for oem at some point). its been a little bit butchered theres some audio mixer mounted to the roof through the plastic above the windshield but will be replaced with the edm/jdm visor swap. Its rusty. there's some warp in the drivers side rear I'm scared to hit hard, i can tell someone has attempted body work at some point and it was not good. theres a Mark IV Supra wing on the back of it lol. luckly for me i have a TON of parts from my old del sol project which i was attempting to revive but the bend in the frame, although minor, always concerned me about putting too much into it. So I'm going to move most, if not all of the parts over to this baby and try to make myself a respectable collector value EG2. here's the thing though, i need more power. I'm used to my B18C5, would building the original engine other than stock lower its value, would adding a turbo kit hurt it? if so should i just put the ITR in? anyhow im gonna make a poll on the mods if your input is just a simple yes or no to keep the thread shorter and neat. if you have a specific reason as to why id love to hear more detail before i start on this. ill post more pics once i get it home. i had to leave it at my grandmas place cause i couldn't find someone to go with me and bring my daily home.

list of parts i have and have to decide what may or may not go in:
B18C5/Trans combo
ITR 5lug/brake swap with all new oem bushings, bearings, ball joints, and every bolt, arp extended studs, function 7 lower control arms.
Koni/GC coilovers 550/500
custom gauge setup plug n play harness made by wire-worx
aftermarket recaro seats
MOMO steering wheel
i have a 93 airbag-less dash
a "mugen style" fiberglass body kit

I made a poll at the top any input on the mods is greatly appreciated.

opinion polls are frowned upon in this tech section. I understand you took time to setup a poll but please, not in this section.


You have to decide what YOU want to do with the car and then, people here can answer technical questions on how to do it if you don't already know or you run into a problem.
