Good lookin' out dawg. I had everything sitting for a while. Took a week off of work (paid) to get it finished. Took myself to school on this one.

first swap is always rewarding and congrats on doing it yourself, I had a bunch of people telling me they would help me with my swap and none of them wanted to help do anything but drive it when it was done.

pardon me for being completely out of the loop, but why did you swap? z6 crap out on you?

Anyway, looks nice and clean. I remember really dreading doing my swap in my apartment underground lot, but luckily I moved into a house before I actually got around to it. h:

Thanks .The d16z6 had 204,000 miles on it, and my friend, (the original owner) kept pouring stop leak in the busted radiator and it eventually blew a head gasket. The block was filled with glumpy crap, and after researching the d15b vtec I thought why not just start fresh. I wanted a straight swap. Didn't wanna have to modify a thing.

werdizle. I was considering a z1 to z6 swap back in the day... simple bolt-up, $400 total investment, and CSP legal! I kinda wish I had done that, actually... h:
