So what do my revscene friends think of this?

Basically, I have a 1989 Crx going to be fully gutted with some metal cuts to make it light (because racecar). No it's not strictly for weight, I LOVE having a minty gutted interior, but anyways..

I'm going to pickup a D16Z6 full swap for it for 400 bucks for it and just use the engine, wiring harness, ecu, and dizzy, and sell the old stuff. Hopefully balance it out at about $250.00 spent

Then about the 29th, I plan to invest another $550 for a 8 LB flywheel and probably a named brand new clutch.

By then i'll be into it about $800.00 with an SI transmission, D16Z6 engine, brand new clutch, and light flywheel.

The next cheque I would get a camshaft for it, and a Hondata and tune.

So all of this done before December 21st, hopefully running absolutely mint pulling with the competetive B series B18 Non vtec, B16A's and A2's, etc. Nothings 100% yet but this is what I plan.

I think this will be a fast alternative since I cannot afford a B series swap and I also need a car on the road NOW I think investing $1500 into a d16z6 over a month would be a good idea and then the GSR in spring

What do you guys think?
