Thanks alot for all of your help so far. You have to understand, this is the first time I have ventured away from older v8 muscle cars. It's all new to me, but I like it so far.

:stupid:

To answer the other question, probably mostly a "stunna" with a little bit of fast too. I doubt I will ever race or anything, but I love to go fast. That's good advice on the wheels to.

The turbo kit would work on your Y7 with little or no modification, but there's a few reasons why you should swap in a dohc vtec b-series instead.
1) That Y7 has very thin rods that like to snap, it doesn't like boost at all.
2) Your automatic tranny will blow sooner or later with the added power.

If you want more power you're going to have to do the auto to manual conversion, and you might as well swap at the same time to save on labor.
