Bought the car to use bits off it for my Ek, great little car, bodywork is actually really good, thought id do a small build up as it will be changing in the next few weeks

was advertised like this



how i bought it




how it looks right now


plans are to tidy it up, get a normal bonnet on it, drop my old b16 bottom end in and put the b18 head on it with the iabs etc.

spec will be as follows


94 Esi (still on books as esi)
96 spec hubs and brakes conversion
Oem dc2 wheels
Integra driveshafts
mb6 LSD box
B16 bottom end with b18 top end (apparantly ported and polished but no proof)
new mounts
new bushes
Lowered 40mm on spax springs
Spoon centre section
4 inch slashcut backbox
Decat
Stainless manifold.

Will be up for sale in about a month . Ek is my priority at the moment

the one in the blue one is a 1.6
the one in the silver one is a 1.8 better torque and slighly more power.

the head in the blue one is better flowing so ill fit it to the 1.8 giving it more power
