nice base to start with,1st off you need to decide what you want from the car? looks,performance,both?? id go towards suspension,brakes( if more power),wheels and handling... once thats completed you can decide if you want more power,if so you have the suspension there already done

Thats all i wanted was a good base i didnt want someone elses project..... Yes i want looks and performance but i wanna go looks first simply cuz its a good from far from from good paint job it works second its dam near 40 mpg its 34 bucks to fill up once a week cant beat that finacially.... With that savings i wanna do the looks no i dont want my car to look like need for speed i want clean simple jdm with my touch ontop CTR all day.... My boy is given meTein springs. N Kyb shocks so theres my suspension......i wanna get good wheels maybe just some gsr blades just during the transition stages...... And yes power plans on being a b20 with a *b16 head....any interior thoughts should i get a the CTR console Faceplate cant find too many with em*
 
rather than a b swap you considered some boost you may be able to keep most of the economy of the engine and it'll save all the hassle of the swap not to mention it can make loads of power on the stock engine?
Just a thought anyway good luck with your car nice place to start :)

Yea a few people told me that these dseries boosted can b just as fast as a b but i feel like if ima boost a dseries and spend the money boosting the d just to be better than a bseries y not beseries and boost it like a Poor mans type r... Can u vtec a dseries??? (possibly stupid question) idk maybe im just not convinced or have the knoweldge of what a b can do
