the B20Z swap is another option for you as well. you won't need a mount kit, only a few different brackets and one or two mounts for other Honda's. you'll also need a tranny.
the thing is when you do a swap there a lot of components that end up costing you money.
figure out what it is "you" want out of the drive then figure out the build because then you'll know what you are saving for.
i highly suggest talking to my friend David in Rockledge as he has steered people into building and driving cars that they enjoy for years.
regretting your build is the worst thing you can do
thanks alot. im probably not going to go crazy and race alot.. but i would definitely like something that is going to be faster and more reliable than what i have. and i know i have a very light frame so i would like to keep the shell but just upgrade everything.. i just want something that is reliable and faster. money isnt an issue.. id rather do the clean way than the cheap way.
