I flip flop between ls1 swapping it and turboing it, however as of now the goal is to get her running and on the autocross track stat.
I really want this car to have some power one day later on, I am really tired of going slow. I am leaning towards the ls1 for a variety of reasons...tons of power, cheap, light, sound amazing, 6 speed trans, and the after market support not only for the motor but for the swap into a miata is just crazy. A tiny bit of work on the ls1 and I can have 2100lb car that puts down 300+whp. That's nothing to scoff at. Plus its just plain cool in my opinion. These are long term goals though, right now its get it running, repaired and painted, full suspension (if you've seen my integra in person or on here you know I believe go big or go home on this one), and then power. I know it is a bullet proof platform and I won't have many issues out of her so its the necessities and then drive drive drive. Modify it as I go and or need to.
I found a door local to me at home for $120, and I found a fender for $100 on partsgroup. Jake hooked me up with some spare parts he had to help get me on my feet with this thing. I am really happy to bring a little variety from both of my vehicles to the club.
