I am just going ahead and speak my mind.

Have fun. Doing bodywork is not a walk in the park, which is why I leave it to the professionals. DO some researching. It is not a bolt on kit, and it will certainly need a lot of bodywork. I have seen BLOWN's car go from an integra front end to a full 3rd gen custom body. IMO it looked great with the integra front end, craftman wise. Fit and finish were top notch from what the pictures showed, but I HATED the look of it. Your car, you do what you want with it. I hope for the best.

And who says you cant drift with a carb?

i do
i was a sposered driver in hawaii and i've seen kids try
they hit a nice slide and guess what the car dies they had even put block off plates in the carb and it still died
ive seen some nice carb cars drifting and they slide great its just a lot of work to keep the gas in the carb ive had 3 rx7 2 240's and a rwd civic ive done FD front ends on FC's and one on a 240 i think ill be fine to put an integra front end on the FB i'm not some first time rx7 owner im a first time 1st gen owner so im not gonna deal with the 12 A its gonna be a 13bt so talk to me like a tuner cause i've done it for a while.

yeah, im having a hard time reading it too. the typing could use some periods ...and maybe a comma or 2 to help seprate the ideas instead of leaving it up to the reader on where to pause. this will help you convey your thoughts much more clearly.

a 13bt will definately allow you to spin the tires much more easily in the 1st gen, but a carbed motor can get the job done without much work. as long as im turning a little i can get my car sideways in 2nd and sometimes even 3rd just by goosing the gas pedal. i pesonally never had any fuel starvation issues when tossing my car around either. it sounds to me like the carbed guys youve seen dont know how to set up a carb... im also usure on what you mean by "block off plates" on the carb in reference to the fuel starvation.

now back to the topic at hand. yes, as youve seen, an integra front end will "fit" on the 1st gen body. i actually havent seen the pic posted above w/ the DC2 bumper, im much more familiar w/ the DA/DB sencond gen bumpers on our Rx-7. from earlier posts on this subject ive read/seen that the DA/DB bumpers will fit w/ much less body work than the DC2 versions.

welcome to the world of 1st gens and good luck w/ your project.
