Your welcome..I'm glad to know you were thinking the same thing...I just couldn't take his crap anymore, I've been reading and following the thread, and finaly was like...oh geez...can't afford a swap, but wants to pay $2715 for a d15 vtec? I don't care if it's jdm, vtec, or whatever....$2715 for a sohc d15 swap is absurd. And good point, since he has all these "free hook-ups" why the hell is he willing to get raped on the engine price? As for a "place where I can get a kit for $400 shipped," 93DXon18s, you get what you pay for with kits. It will have gaps, no fit correct, and require considerable molding to make it fit and look right, to elimnate the gaps, etc. That is assuming it's a fiberglass kit, if it's a urathane kit, you may have a stronger material, but you can't mold ureathane, your stuck with it, so if it fits like shit....second, your buddies dad may indeed be able to paint a car, and paint it well, but does he have the extensive knowledge needed to install a fiberglass kit and get it proper fitment, the knowlegde needed to mold it so it will fit correct? Not all people who do good body and paint work can do this...I am not saying he can't just food for a thought...now, you don't need to give me some long-ass answer about "how he can do this and that," as I am aware already that you most likely will say that regardless. And, to pheurton-skeurto, I agree with you, and good points. Where's the "free engine hook-up." All he's getting for that price is a "free I got raped on the charges."
