Dta ecu
Vtec controller
Billet alloy crank damper
New leads , plugs , dizzy cap
Lightened balanced flywheel

Looking forward to seeing progress :)

If it was me, I'd of kept the A series, but will be good to see this take shape

[minilee94]

Bored of a series thought I'd go for abit more of a challenge

[megamini_jb]

Yeah I'm sure it will be awesome. You decided on a colour yet to go with the silver? I still think Purple or you sticking with Orange?

[megamini_jb]

Also I'm guessing you're going to be breaking the civic? If so, how much for the fat fives alloys? I've got an EG hatch and always wanted them on it. Bought it some fanblades but they went after a week lol

[minilee94]

Guna stick with orange now due to frame being orange :) and ahh millions of pounds for them wheels mate if you have a set you can put on my civic steels or somthing £50 but was missing two center caps

[ScudY23]

You had a right bargain there lee, he had the allspeed shafts after as well did he.

[minilee94]

Yeah mate and nah he didn't have them they were heavy duty cv joints but that good enough for me

[rally1380]

Lee.....what happened to your newly built A series then?  Can't have done much mileage.

 

Must say, the Honda transplant does look interesting though.

[minilee94]

Sold it all mate but bored of a series so decided abit more of a challange and Thanks
And the 1380 done no mileage at all

How could you get bored of it if you never used it? 

 

Honda engine will give more power and more reliably though.

If you want to keep it standard roundnose then sirkieran on the 16v forum is starting to make alt brackets like the mini tec ones so that the alt can sit on the upper rear of the engine rather than the lower front which the allspeed does, with the allspeed you either need clubman or 90mm extended. Thats if you was roundnose in the first place.

[ScudY23]

The b16 loom you have for sale lee does it have the dash side of it as well, i didnt have that part for mine so trying to solder up straight to the ecu jumper instead and its getting on my tits now.
