Default New car hopefully!

Well I parted out the SE-R I was doing cause I like working on Honda's better and once I started getting into the Sentra it was getting pretty scary with all the rust and whoever rebuilt the thing from the salvage title did just enough to get it the rebuilt title. Screw that I pulled everything I could and junked the shell. I sold my tein's for it and got 800 and the cage I should get 300 and 2000 for the GTIR engine. I have roughly 3k to work with and found this on HT. http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1007016
Now I'm not one for buying modding cars since I like to do it myself but it already has basic stuff like GSR brakes upgrade and then what I like is the ITR susp(lca, shocks,springs, swaybar). He had a B16 in it and took it out and just stuck a sohc in to have it run. I'm gonna drop a d15b in it anyways once I get it and then boost it so whatever engine it comes with doesn't really matter. What do you guys think? Any ideas on how much it is to ship a car from CA to the midwest(WI) damn if Steve was doing just one more trip back with the moving truck
It's just so hard finding a civic up here without rust and then not charged an arm and a leg for it.

Does that thing have green wheels and a spray painted hood?

It's a cf hood and those are powder coated Sparco N1's. Not really feeling the rims but what the hell. I'll just get them repainted.

too bad it's gonna run me 1100 to have it shipped from CA to WI but that the price you gotta pay to have a clean car.

Im saying look into a new SE-R, I for one think they are a pretty cool car. Of course your not going to find one cheap for another few years. Would be my next favorite car to have.
