Back seat in with black carpet..

Oh, it looks so much better! And Yes, I know these are useless.. Pretty much everything in my car are useless

So, here is my plan.. Put my 13B-RE motor w/Aviation seals with BNR twins seq. ran with 99 newer harness with black box, into the SSM with newer RZ tranny.

MB FD will get built 20B, touched up intake with exhaust sleeve replaced with 13B-REW, with Turbonetic T76BB mounted on inconel manifold... deciding on the ECU. And waiting on some parts from Logan.

David, I would like to drive your car at DGRR if that's possible... as I'm currently open to what ECU to use and such.

I did have Haltech E11v2 and sold it when I heard a rumor about the new Haltech.. But I'm not really sure about the units... But I might go with that as its pretty reasonable and there are some good Haltec tuners out there.

But hwnd recently told me AEM will work with 20B. I'm going to do some search on this and might go with AEM.

I'm also going to get David Garfinkle to make oil pan brace for the 20B. Maybe make it bit thicker than usual to give bit more structural stability of the engine. You might also consider this as longer 20B, more torque/power, the engine needs bit more structural bracing. I think his oil pan brace does both sealing and making the engine bit more structurally sound. I'm going to get him to make 2... and with GROOVES

Update: 

I'm starting to put things together over past few days..

MB FD - Putting in the HID head light kit by SportTuner.com I'll post pics of this kit later. I'm also putting in the Feed signal light kit with HIDs installed also.

SSM FD - Took the stock bumper off, cleaned everything, and getting ready to put the stock head lights back on, the 99 bumper on, and the MS hood. I'm hoping all will be done by this sunday.

Far as quality of the kit, it looks great... But I didn't get to work on the MB.

I did however did some work on the SSM... Put the stock lights on (minus a bracket and couple of screws).

And with 99 rebar and lights on..

Here is the kit I received from SportTuner.com

Quality looks pretty good..

My progress as of today..

I've now installed the FEED signal lights with HIDs. They are pretty bright!! I'm finishing up the wiring with stock plug ins for them and after that, I'll be tackling the SportTuner lights. I should have all put together by end of this weekend.... unless the little one comes before than.

On SSM, I'm waiting on couple of missing parts for the stock head light assembly. I should have the parts in by end of this weekend.. Hopefully.

Here is my progress for today..

I've finally installed the FEED signal with HIDs and also the Sport Tuner head lights.. both took some time placing the HID ballasts and getting the wires all straight. Anyhow, here are some pics.

Here are some comparison pics between my Acura TL HIDs and the projector style Sport Tuner HIDs.

Different exposure

Also, I finally installed the 99 bumper on the SSM FD.

And found the brackets and bolts for the head lights.. Just finished the driver's side only.. I'll finish it tomorrow.
