Default ATX -> MTX & rear drums -> discs?

I need a step-by-step ATX removal and MTX installation Guide and need to know where to find one. Links would be helpful. And is it possible to replace the rear drums to discs?

My plans…

…I want to be light weight without ripping my whole interior out. New seats are understandable.
…I want to be aero dynamic suspension wise.
…Aluminum brake lines.
…Sleeper.
…Paint job.
…Light weight racing rims and tires. By the way what is a good size for looks while still keeping performance?


Like i said, ANY LINKS would be helpful. Let me know what you think and if you can help. Thanks!

Anthony

this site has a search eng.

allpar.com

neons.org

e-bay

local parts store for a shop manual.

what year + eng type you got? might be faster to find a font clip/parts car for cheap from the paper and swap out the powertrain.

Click me for the MTX conversion.

Yes you can swap the rear drums to discs, you need everything from the e-brake cables back to the calipers.

ok. my friend spent well over 10g on his ls integra for a motor swap[b18], body kit, ground kit, gauges, adjustable suspension, but not a tranny swap[type-r]. NOW tell me this, if i get a turbo. blow off valve, adjustable suspension, 5-speed tranny swap, rear drums to rear discs, intercooler, and what ever i need for these to work... will that cost me 10g? I might do it myself, but since i'm at the novice level i might have my friends give me a hand. i don't want to go to the shop. I also know some people through my sister who knows how to do this **** so imight take it down to them. anyway..


QUESTION! can srt-4 seats fit? front and rear? and how about the dash? steering wheel?

Turbo kit w/intercooler=$3000
Suspension=$1100
Tranny Swap=around $1000 total
Rear Disc Conv=$150-$200

The SRT seats swap in...all neon seats are interchangable. The wheel and cluster are not a direct fit, but can work with some cutting and splicing.
