Well update.
I just got paid by the Gecko. The gave me 3986USD after buy back and California's 7.5% cut. Since the engine is not CA Legal. I will not be going in another car to drive on the roads here. I am looking at picking up an 89 Honda Civic Shuttle/Wagovan as a DD right now as I made a promise to the wife that the next car we get would seat four adults comfortably and would be AWD, Diesel, or both. I am going to register as a CA driver and this motor will sit for the next two years until I can finish my Degree and GTFO of CA or I can finally afford a real DD. I hate this state. I will work on a harness to drop this baby in the Shuttle, and may use it as a weekend rally thing if a permanent DD is worked out.

The wife wants me to get a WRX 2009-2010 hatchback (MPG sucks though) or a 2012 Mazda 3 Skyactive manual transmission hatchback (Not AWD). I must say that the Skyactive gets CRX mpg (28 city and 40 highway) and is the closest thing to driving a CRX in recent new car model years. Sadly, I cannot afford either right now.

This what the engine does in a stock HF -> www.youtube.com/tenoki
