i want that car to have my children. it is the coolest thing ever
Damn u meepers. U are truely the man. That came out so sick bro. And the speed u got this thing done in is amazing. How do u like the jrsc man. I have never knew anyone that had one and like to hear if they put out at all.
Thanks everyone... Ferio, The shifting is the same, ner0x, A friend had an Integra he wrecked, he needed some money to fix it, he had the b18c with the supercharger on it. basically I traded him my b16 and money and parts to get his car back on the road. Turbo would have been my first choice, but so far, I am impressed with the way it runs. Once I get the fmu dialed in and get the vafc tuned on it, I am hoping it will make some good reliable power. I think I will also invest in the MSD BTC ignition so I can adjust the ignition advance down a bit. Its still a long way from being done, but I got the windows working last nite, 90% of the a/c stuff in, and found I can use my old a/c controller till I get a new harness for my jdm controller. I guess I will start banging out the bodywork on it now so when the temp drops back to the 80's we can get it painted. its definately going to see a few shows next season. Thanks for all the support and praise, it makes all the hard work worth it.
way to go man. Great Job... I'm just loving that its a hatch!!!! shifting might suck.... but who cares.... anyway I love the car and can't wait till its all done!
good luck...and keep us up to date wit your project.
You had the interior in for a week and you're already drinkin in her.
yeah, cant resist the starbucks.. I think I will end up getting some 2000 gsr seats or maybe some s2k seats.. if i do... no eating or drinking in the car. Its not going to be getting painted for a while yet. probly after the summer is gone. I need about another grand for body parts and moldings and trim and seals n stuff. .I want to have all new parts before I paint it so I dont have to worry about scratching it taking stuff off and puting it on again. then I should only be without my car one more time.. hopefully only for a weekend or two. and If someone was looking to have this done.... good luck. If I had to quote out on the labor hours in my car... @40 an hour body and 75 hr mechanical/electrical.. i would guess I would have to charge about 8k just for the conversion. no parts or anything.short of the rear suspension, there wasnt a part that did not have to come out. maybe in the not so distant future we could look at doing somthing like that.. I mean, I have an 87 el camino in the shop we are doing a partial restore on, and I am charging the guy 12 grand. how much you wanna pay? 
If I had the cash and the knowledge I would spend 12k and do it exactly how meepers is doing rather then pay 5k and have it done for u. This would be such a fun , terrible, funny fustrating project but all worth it at the end.ner0x said:
Damn i wish i could do the roof swap like you did... Lol... My roof is bent from the previous owners leaving it out and snow building up on it... And i REALLY would like a sunroof as well... s**t id drive out to you if you would swap my roof for me...
hehe, well i rolled out a bit last nite, and there are a few import shows going on tonight. I think I may go see what the 411 is.. so far everyone that has seen it has loved it. but I swear, if I hear, dood, your getting in on the wrong side, one more time, I think i will shoot myself. I wish my car was done, paint, motor, everything.... I know its going to rock when its finished. Its just too friggin hot to do much now. I would guess realistically, it would be about 4grand to do the swap to rhd. Plus whatever parts were needed. The thing is, I did this to my car to really try and stand out, I dont want to do it to anyone elses to make it like mine. 
im selfish hehe
