    Nice, that budget will make for MUCH creativity! Are you going to do some sort of AFC and tune via tail sniffer? I'm guessing you are not messing with injectors or anything like that? I don't think I could get my piping done for $600, really looking forward to what you come up with.

    Any reason you haven't considered an N/A swap?

    Yeah the whole point of my car is to build something with what I have or as cheap, but reliably as possible. IM probably going to be running dsm 450cc injectors with a walbro 255lph pump. Also will be running a B16 intake mani.

    Reason im not fooling with Na is the lack of power for price. I was gonna do itbs on the accord, but changed my mind and am gonna do Itbs on my truck now.

    I actually bought 2 sets (4 tophats) at the junkyard. I still have the original set that is not drilled through, incase I ever have to put them back on.

    ^Pretty much. It allows me to completely slam the car and have full shock travel. Basically its just two sets of tophats with the studs knocked out and redrilled, with the bottom set remaining on the car like stock. You then run carriage bolts through, and tighten the first tophat down to the strut tower, then you add nuts/locknuts and put the 2nd tophat on, and the 2nd one is where you mount the strut.
