I ate the bones
Your in the same boat I'm in, I bought mine for $500 in "non-running" condition, but like yours came with some mods like adjustible coil-overs, exhaust, Bride shift linkage, and a momo steering wheel, Your DA is in lot more better condition than mine though. Mine needs a new paint job bad. So, I did what I could... Rebuild and modify the B18a1. I'm building mine to be N/A so I threw in some high compression teflon coated pistons along with other mods such as stage 2 clutch, aluminum flywheel, DC header, ICW 15" racing wheels, Monotech tuned ECU, and JDM one piece headlights. Hope to drop in the motor soon. For you man, don't put a spoiler, its pointless on a FWD car. Lower its stance, get better head lights, some clean 15"s or 16"s(no bigger or smaller) and tint the windows.

Ty Ty.... so ive done my rims all over the people who painted them before me are asses and it looks like at one point they painted or primed it with a latex paint and it was ridiculous...but anyway i stripped them alot better
Also my engine came in and( i havent seen it, my bro picked it up today) and it came with the manifolds already on it so im stoked for that i wanted a clean intake so saves me time... ill have pics up of it tomorrow and i may start painting the rims or gettin the clutch in...
