I raced Snowmobiles professionally at 14 (I was on the factory Polaris team), Motocross (not pro) at 15, and go carts (125 and 250 shifter carts) since I was 13.
Yes I've ben a big part of a few racing teams. To do that swap is gonna cost you a lot of money.....A LOT of money. And it won't e that fast. If you want to build a car I'd try to get yourself a CRX and do a swap into that. I'm sure you can have a B16 powered CRX for less than 5 grand. Unless of course you're in Kinesis in which case I'm sure your parents will do anything to support your JDM addiction

yea thats all fine and dandy, but that would just deplete my purpose. I want to go to the races in something that no one else has, or probably ever had. and where do you figure it wont be fast? Its probably just as light as a rex

And i do have a job and make money, ido understand how much it costs. By the way, were you in a racing team when you were only 15, prolly not

please dont come on here attempting to brag about what you've done, especially when very few people can vouch for your work. you'll get shutdown. fast. anyways, to drop an h22 into that thing youre going to need custom fabricated motor mounts (~$1200) a jdm h22 ($2500) a lot of wiring work (~$1100) probably a lot of torching to get an h22 to fit into that thing (~$1000) an LSD (~$500) a new guage cluster, power steering, new ac lines, relocating just about everything else under the hood (~$1000)
and thats if you do everything once. considering most projects end up covering the same steps 2 or 3 times, youre screwed. i hope your name is doogie howser to cover this project. just buy a civic and put a body kit thingamabob on it and get some subwoofers. or just get your license...

well considering i have already removed the engine, there is no ac, i dont want an h22 lsd, dont need torching, i think i can handle it. plus im putting it in myself. im not gonna buy a freakin civic and be a follower, i'll keep this and be a leader.
