    i hate this car...with a burning passion...lol /jk who i hate is the guy that did the swap.. it wouldnt be such a PITA if he had doen it using a method we like to call "the right way"
    also.....why would you go through all the trouble of this swap for a B16? i think the stock a20 can almost keep up with it

    I think the main reason is so he can upgrade to a JDM B16

    The right way? What do you feel is the right way? The swap was done in a professional manner, using all new parts. The mounts? New HASPORT poly inserts. These were fabbed in a prototype manner, which can attribute to them not looking pretty, but they work pretty damn well compared to some of the shit I've seen people do on these forums. I made this shit work without the use of a bolt in kit many of you cry for. Oh, and as to why a B16? For the best reason of all, it was free. I had a full motor, tranny, and ecu sitting at the shop, so why not a B16? Plus it was easier to BAR certify anyways. I had plans for a B20 bottom end, and having it BAR'd as a B16 meant I didn't have to worry about it in the future (B20 swaps are not BAR legal). So please, tell me what the "right way" of doing things are? Unless you're rollin' around with an equal accomplishment, please keep you're BS comments to yourself.
