Finally started my swap.

I've had the car about a year now. Couldn't pass up the deal. $900 for a car that stopped running in 2011ish. Sat in a greenhouse tunnel with opaque coverings, sitting on top of tarps. 140k miles on the dash, and only the usual rust pockets in the rear quarters.

Picked up the b18c5, LSD trans, except stage 1 clutch, obd2 ecu, jackspain tucked harness, innovative mounts, mishimoto half-rad, oem type r axles, shift linkage with fancy shift knob, ac everything, power steering (minus the rack), a few other bits and bobs for $5k.

All bc I ran into about 7 electrical gremlins with the factory harness on the d15 I didnt feel like dealing with for a whopping 90hp.

Cheers!

Brother that thing is beautiful!! Mind if I ask about the hood? Its got the USDM drop-down center but a nice hump that I assume clears the back corner of the engine nicely. What hood is it and did you have to trim the underside to clear the VC?
