i say no to the Gt rims... but what ever makes you happy. looking good otherwise
i'm with azn, some 16 Z24 rims would look much better

I hope you are not using stock struts.
Unless you have a buyer for the old engine... id have likely ran the piss out of it til it blew:p
But otherwise nice progress so far and Ill be following it, but I say keep the 95-99 trunk and tails, even if you want the spoiler from the 03-05 you can just swap it over
I should tease you and say I still have all the wiring out of a 2003 four door that I was going to use for my swap. Pass air bag, sdm module... the whole effin works.
Even have the TTR front trans mount, might even have the 5 speed brake and gas pedals. I think the clutch went to the crushers when they took my car... and some other @!#$ I'll never have a use for again in my life. If you come pick it up, i'll just give it all to you for free. Its taken up space and I just want it gone. I see your in PA, and my zip code is 13027.

Suspension is kyb agx on sportlines, was no my other car for 2 years wih no problems.

Cody - i made my 2 door harness work, and my 2 door harness is non-abs and i kept everything from my 2 door
ill post more pictures tonight
nice. i've alway wanted to see someone do the eco swap and keep the pre00 interior. i'm pretty sure it can be done with some finesse.
lol actually i swapped the dash out for a 2000 up style, i like those better than the 95-99 style
the 95-99 dash will work with out a lot of work, the cluster just doesnt fit real well
Looking good! I hate the pre 2000 dash....cant change the radio with a drink in the holder lol.
TO MUCH fender gap lol... if you have to use tape to measure. you have to much wheel clearance. jk
