Getting my mk3 going again

[ashley]

Nice!

Engine choice now 100% decided



Hoping to get cracking after my holiday in August

[vinp182]

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

Very interesting .. looking forward to update mate

[vinp182]

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

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:

Car looks lovely mate, never really given the mk3 a second look , until now

Really looking forward to the next chapter, what power is the Honda engine putting out ?

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

Yeah areound 200hp ish

We've had the 2 chrome hard top brackets painted for a sample of colour which looks great, so this little lot is off to the painters today

[vinp182]

Got all the parts back from paint today and I'm very pleased 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:
