Hook up the engine. Nothing is worse (to me) than an all-show, no-go ricer. You have a great engine to mod so do that first

Re: Save up for a JDM Conversion or spend the money on engine mods?
ya but he has will have a turbo so it will have some go. Depending on what is more important to you it is up to you. The jdm front looks bad A, I almost did one myself. If you get one, DO NOT get a fiberglass one, fiberglass is crap, will not handle the abuse metal will, will fall apart eventually, and depending on the color will not match well with paint on door panel.

A fiberglass front is nice but not on a daily driver. Can't take the abuse the same as stock.

Why do you want us to decide what you're gonna do to your car? It's yours, do what you want out of it.

You know, we really should start taking advantage of this, we can have everyone that ask for our popinions driving around in cars we like, maybe then we can get some of this crap that's rolling around off the streets.

get the jdm kit , a gsr moves quite well in stock form , just dont go out of your league when racing ... remember , you can only race some times , but you can ALWAYS look good !!

Re: Save up for a JDM Conversion or spend the money on engine mods?
this dude has a 98 GSR? Pshhh dog do the main bolt ons and get your front end done. You dont need much shit under the hood with the Vtec engine. Dont turbo charge a B18C man if you gonna modity it Do some internal work. So get it the way you want it to look first cause its already (quick) enough
