What are my plans? -fresh new paint -suspension setup for auto-x/track -some kind of tune -get interior and exterior sexy looking -clean up engine bay -GSR tranny w/ LSD and LS fifth gear -new parts Essentially, it’ll be an older car, whose purpose will be DD/weekend warrior, with many new parts. There’s no ETA and no “set budget” (basically, be as cheap as possible while not sacrificing quality and reliability). Current cost of this build is like $1700. I still have a long way to go. ---

Instead of just dropping the B16A back in, I think I’m gonna go with a poor man’s type r setup, using the head off of the B16 I have now, then sourcing a GSR block and GSR transmission. I dunno about any specifics as I’m gonna finish the car first then worry about this. Any advice on the motor build would be very welcome! ---
