The car is a nitro 4tec. I bought the body off eBay, they have hatches as well, there not made for my particular car, so before I painted the body I drilled all the holes where they needed to be. And the te-37's came off eBay as well, since I couldn't afford them for my real car the rc car got them. Lol
awesome man, just paint those little rims purple
Nice Si man! Wish mine was in the state to where I'm done and don't know what to do anymore, haha.

I'm not to that point anymore, I have a list of things to do. I'm just waiting till October to start. That aT ill have cash saved up to do everything, and I won't have any e enter to go to. I'll be pulling the motor to go ls/vtec, full tuck harness, tucking brake lines and fuel lines, finish shaving the bay, and paint... hopefully it'll turn out like I want it.
SWEEEEET! I was gonna go LS/VTEC with mine, even got a b16 head and LS motor. But I decided I want to keep the original motor in my Si as long as possible.

As soon as I can find an ls, I'm gonna start buying parts for it. I want to swap it when it starts getting cold out. That's when ill finish the bay.
I gotta get my B16a2 fixed before I can start on my LS/V...
id say ls/v is a better choice IMO
LS/V is just a time bomb dude. It's gunna cost you so much more.. I'd just go LS Turbo. It's more reliable and more fun.

Why would I put a non vtec engine in a vtec car?? Ls/vtec is an amazing motor if its built right. K20's are over rated. With all the electronics, and only making 28 more HP than my engine did stock. I've Already built my head, so an ls bottom end would be extremely cheaper than k20, and would make a lot more power. And I don't want to boost my car. I've already boosted 2 of mine, and after that. They just turn into a money pit. And not very dependable. IMO
