Everyone involved in automotive sports realizes that it takes money to go fast. Less if you do everything yourself, but still, racing aint cheap

you'd be better off with a built TII swap as the FD motor and trans are not a direct bolt in
even better would be saving up for awhile, when the time comes selling your FC and then buying an actual TII or FD
it would probably end up costing you less time and money doing it the way I suggest
but I doubt you'll take my advice
