ummm wtf did you just say?

 

lol.....sorry i was in a rush at the time if you can't tell.. anyway its a 1995 manual EJ1, DX if i remember correctly, and the only thing it has on it as of now is a short shifter, NO MOTOR. I was wondering what the best options were on modding his coupe with $2000 to spend on it, our friend who owns a shop can give us a stock engine and put it in for free, but he would also give us a b16a2 with a little under 30k on it for 1200. the car has some shitty old springs in the front and stock ones in the back, it also has some nasty altezzas and corners. without being flamed on i was wondering what the most "bang for your buck" solution was, or atleast some ideas. This will be a daily driver so reliability is also a big factor. so most likley no turbo... just a nice N/A set up with some money left for minor cosmetic problems. (doesnt have to have the JDM look to it, just clean or even "stockish" ) thankyou in advance once again for anyone who can give some HELPFUL advice

 

get the b16, then use the extra 800 to fix everything else...I dont understand where the confusion would be.

 

man if that b16a2 is a complete swap tell your friend with the shop to hook me up too.

 

1200 for a b16a2 INSTALLED!!!!!

that's a no-brainer DO IT NOW YOU LUCKY BITCH!

have fun!.... you bastard!

hahahahaha...sorry i didnt go for the b16a2 swap .... instead i got the b18c1 for the same price being installed now, also got a nice clean set of 2000 Si rims, Si lip (needs to be cut a little but looks clean as hell IMO ) and EM1 sides all for $230 muhaha... coming soon are black leather seats and dash from a 95 GSR. i know the engine, interior and exteriors theme clash but o well Si rims and lip look too hot on it to pass up
