Only a DSM guy would go through that much hell. I plan to use (RX-7) Turbo II rims on my (RX-7) Sport after I put in the 13BT (turbo) engine, just because they are bigger. If I had a Turbo II already, I would never try to make it look like an N/A. I'm just keeping my N/A parts to keep it looking like a Sport.:naughty:

To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference in DSMs even if someone was standing beside me to point them out. If it doesn't have a sticker that says "Turbo," I'd never know.

The problem with swapping the clutch pedal assemblies is that they are two different chassis. Even though the '93 and '94 are similar in body size, you will have a hell of a time trying to swap any of the mechanicals. If you swap the entire transaxle, you can probably get a 94+ hydro for only a few bucks more then you can sell your '93 cable for.

If you can get a hold of 94+ Integra mounts, use them. The B18A and B18B use identical block castings, why they changed the name code from "A" to "B" is beyond me.
