Update: 5/28/08!
Got a new Spoon style lip, new bumper (old one was all cracked to shit), Type-R rear lip, and got the exhaust re-hung! New pics:
UPDATE:
So, after changing an oil pan gasket, and having the oil pan crack twice on me, she wouldnt start. Did a compression test, and heres teh results, from cylinder #1(timing belt side), to #4(tranny side): 165, 135, 65, 90. So, after ruling out the headgasket (it ran when I parked it, so it couldnt be the headgasket), and the rings (agian, it ran when it was parked), me and a couple of buddies think it might be a cracked block. I found a decent conditon B18a1 motor for cheap. What better reason to swap it in. So, Im gonna be updating this thread (first post) with updated pictures, as I tear down, build up, and swap the B in. Keep in mind, I have no engine lift or anything, so Im tearing it down piece by piece. I gotta make a few calls, and see if I can get ahold of a lift to make things easier. :thumbs up
