Interesting, and unfortunate... seeing your interior pic brought back a lot of memories of my own red 92 GSR, RIP...
werd i use to have a aztech green with pearl gsr the b17a is one of the best motors that i have ever delt with it has the perfect rod and stroke ratio theres no way you could blow out a b17a gsr motor unless you down shifted from fith to first you musta have been very hard on it... plus you wont get as much for the b16a swap the b17a gsr is more rare than type r's they were only made for 2 years and i belive only 1500 were made per year....
