do you need all the body panels? :rick:
how about the floor pans?
and that is not a swap right :rick:

and it comes with a SOHC VTEC engine with a manual transmission.. i was
thinking about doing a b16a motor swap but that would cost me around
$1,500... and the reason why i want the swap is to feel that strong pull when the
VTEC kicks in at a certain RPM... my question is... is there anything I can do
to make my SOHC VTEC pull like a DOHC without having to do the motor
swap? Help would be appreciated.. Thanks alot!

If you like N20, I'd go with this kit.
TNT makes a really nice kit. IMO the best one out there.

You sound very new to Hondas. Doesn't hurt to ask questions. That's how we all learn. But I think you should do some research, and figure out what you really want. B16 is not fast, neither is a SOHC with bolt ons, or a turbo at 6-8 PSI. Stick around and you'll learn quickly.
