Engine is now out of the civic and I've ordered these swap parts

Innovative mount kit
Innovative selector mechanism
Custom drive shafts
P&P wiring harness

The car went for mot on Friday and passed so that is ready for me to start taking the old engine out :)

Off to Honda tomorrow to get/order a timing chain kit, then the engine will be off to Mrtwos for that to be done while I'm waiting for the swap parts to arrive

My swap parts from MWR have arrived and the lovely man from UPS has raped me for import tax :(

Also my timing chain kit has arrived from Tegiwa so I can pretty much get cracking after JAE :D

Ade (mr2bitz) is supplying me with a new clutch too and I'm thinking about throwing in a Fidanza flywheel while I'm at it :th:

With my eagle eye, that looks like a EP3 civic. So a K20 with 197bhp UKDM or i think 210bhp JDM

Got all the parts back from paint today and I'm very pleased :D All I've got left to be done are the rocker cover and one of the heater knobs that I'd forgot to take round the first time :th:

Pic of the wheel (can't really see the sparkle)

Soft top pull badge to show the sparkle :cool1:
