What is going on with this??? WE NEED UPDATES!!!
oohhhh, brother, I HAVE been working very hard at this during little amounts of spare time to get everything together, trust me.
I'll have some updates soon. Plans have changed though, but all is cool. Engine is getting some big revamps, and this thing should be coming together soon.
I'll post pics and progress once I have something worth sharing! LOL
progress...
The brains behind this operation: Local buddy Billy from RPR.
Out! Finally.
Dirty Engine.

After many changes in plans, the FINAL plan for this build:
Keeping stock d15. Too much wiring hassel for the ZC to work RIGHT NOW. Too much going on in my life, so I just don't have time for a swap that involved.
Stock D15. I bought a custom intake manifold and dual-side-draft carb set-up off of Ebay. Will be there this week.
Going to order a set of headers this week.
New clutch, gaskets, etc...
i cleaned the heck out of the engine and tranny this afternoon, but couldn't snap pics b/c I ran out of daylight. It took about 100 oz. of engine cleaner lol! They are now ready for a fresh coat of paint. Hopefully this upcoming rain will pass over in about two days to let me complete this task.
Progress will be updated daily, as I paint the D15 to get it looking purty, and paint the engine bay to match the exterior. I will then bolt on the new parts, and I hope to slip the engine back in within a week and a half, and send it off for carb tuning. I'm aiming for close to 90 hp and reliability here, along with a clean looking set-up. We'll see.
The ZC and D16a1 are going up for sale, for money for rims and tires.
Thanks for looking!
