Nice work so far man! Im actually going to be starting the same project next month. Im looking to get a running vert and pick up the parts while im driving it as a second car. Im getting a jspec TII, but its getting ripped apart for some porting, powder coating and a BNR upgrade. I am actually going with the racing beat exhaust myself. Keep up the good work, gets me excited to start mine!

Thats cool I was going to put low profile tires on mine and buy a coil over kit, Im not too sure on which brand or exactly what set up Im going with yet. Im more or less focused on getting the engine in the car

Yeah I really like the bbs wheels...But I wanted something a little wider the 15x6 was just a little too narrow for me... I thought about getting some springs for it...But it handles like its on rails as it is... and I kind of like the stock stance of them...Plus 18's and dropping the hell out of it = Headaches and Cursing everytime I find a speed bump.

18's are big rims, I dont think Im going to go that big if I switch to aftermarket rims just because of how rough the driving is. Ive been in a lowered Integra with 18s and the thing was terrible over bumps and my areas roads are terrible with pot holes. Once I get the money my vert is going to have a decent coil over kit but like I said engine is first on the list.

What do you still need to do to put the Turbo2 engine in the car? Your project is still looking good man. Im still stuck with the N.A engine unfortunately, money is tight.

Are you using the same N/A rear end? If you are and you are using a Turbo Trans....You need a Hybrid drive shaft.
