well. see. the thing with diy is this.
i don't know much about working on motors.
i have a friend that does, but he doesn't have much spare time anymore and so i can't always rely on him to help out and be there.

But if its true that it can get impounded, now thats some harsh laws there! Note taht 20v is the same family group as teh 16v - 4age!

But for me, im a purist, 16v all the way! You could probably swap the silvertop with somebodys 16v along with ecu and harness, with even some money your way, so it might be a good deal.. then you could use the spare money to really make this 16v run strong.

it is currently running on a standalone ecu. SDS.
the wiring was done incorrectly which is the current main problem with it.
that along with the ae86 header never being modified to fit correctly on the 20v and the intake not having any filters.

it being impounded is because it won't pass smog nor being able to pass being ref'ed in california because it doesn't have all original 'smog parts'.

and about the 16v. that is pretty much what i was thinking. and it would be a great relief not having to worry about any major problems if my hood got popped by a officer of the law.
