Default supercoupe M90

So I just won a complete kit for an M90 swap on ebay for $700. I'll probablyinstall it over summer. I'm pretty excited about it.

Very nice, be prepaired for a one to two day long install time, especially if you're new to doing direct engine work. Nothing really hard, just very time consuming.

One would hope that he would get all new Gaskets. lol

To the OP, You have a pretty nice car. What are you planning on doing with it? DD, Drag, Auto-cross?

After you do the swap maybe do some little aesthetic mods to make it look sexy.

^Yeah, that would be bad to forget those...Do you think I'll need to get new head gaskets? I replaced them about 20,000 miles ago with some felpro ones.

Thanks for the comp. I plan on just DD it, maybe autocross when I can or whatever I just feel like doing I guess. Im gunnarepaint my carlater since I live in probably one of the dustiest parts of the country for college and get a new hood since mine is cracked and whatever else I decide to get. And I'll probably have new wheels by summer because I'm waiting to run my tires down.

If you just did your head gaskets, I wouldn't worry about them.

Definitely some new tires and maybe some new smoked headlights with a Mach 1 front lip. That would make it look sexy sexy. Is it tinted?

Just whatever tint came from the factory..I should probably fix that. I wanted a chin spoiler, but my car sits low to the ground as it is and i am only inches away from rubing my bumper on speed bumps.

I know how that is. I only have C springs and I bottom out sometimes. We have straight up nasty roads where I live though. Some are ok but for the most part I have to come to a complete stop and then go sideways over bumps.
