what all went wrong?? and what motor was in that car in the first place??? and what B16 did ya put in??

ahh the b16...i love that motor, even if there is faster, i do want that motor oh so bad....but smog laws in cali SUCK!!! i dont want to swap out the motor when i have to get it smogged like my friend does....but anyhow looks good man, clean up that valve cover though, i think i see grease spots but other than that i was surprised at how clean it looks

i hope mine looks just as good when it gets dropped in.

Looks nice! Damn this brings back memories when my swap was done :)

lookin good man ... I noticed your all amber corner lenses ... are those the JDM ones or did you paint them. If so how much was the paint ... I hear shops have jacked up the price of the amber to $35!!

What went wrong:
1. ordered an LSD tranny, never got it
2. wasn't given the correct rear motor mount
3. 4 stuck intake valves, had to remove the head
4. Company shipped the wrong shift linkage
There was more stuff than that as I recall, but those were the really big things.

Original motor was a d16a6 with the usual I/H/E

Engine now is a b16a1

I painted my corners, and I think the paint was $3 or $4

Damn ... I will check my local hobby shop and see if they have it but if not I will talk to you in the PM's and send you a money order and you can go buy a can and ship it to me :coolguy: lol ... im getting tired of my clear corners, I think I wanna try the all ambers for a while, plus I got someone who will buy the clears from me cause one of her stocks is broken.

That b16 looks great in there. I wish I had one!

looks good marc... congrats and enjoy :)

It's called Krylon Stained Glass, and I got it at one of those arts and crafts stores.
