sounds like the extra money from the b16 could be put to good use with the piston/rods. are you gonna lower the compression? if so, i would go with the b16
Thats alot for PPG Paint...imo. I got all of my supplies for $173 out the door.The paint itself isnt actually that expensive. All told for the primer, basecoat, topcoat, and clear, it will be about 400$, which I think is pretty reasonable. I'd rather have a more 'custom' color then a color that comes on a production car. Though I agree, the color of the STI's is very nice, I may end up with something close but a bit more metallic.
