    Aye. The wheels on some were  4x114.3 so some of the honda lego box might fit!

    I'm getting the whole car for £50 so nothing lost just to try really I can break it for a few hundred anyway I'll give it a go see what fits and report back what does and doesn't

    dont think any of them would be to be honest mate

    I was thinking possibly the hub assembly? I'm definitely taking the wheels same ones I had on my deck

  3. Guys I've got a chance of an accord 2.0 auto beast as a kind of donor but not too sure if any of the parts are interchangeable with the civic. 

    Have any of you any info would be much appreciated

    B16a or a2 head will be the one.

     

    If it's been done properly then you should be fine. By properly I mean the pistons should have been changed as the compression ratio when you just swap the head over will be wrong.

    Probably be better building one myself just to be sure but if I'm building an engine it's not gonna be that setup was just thinking about time Vs cash with that but when in doubt do it yourself B)

  5. I've just came across a guy selling an engine with a b16 head on a b18 block has anyone ever had experience with this setup any pros/cons to look out for cause I think I'm buying it ;)

    PS would s80 gearbox go with this setup and possibly a p28 ecu all to go in my ej8

    Yeah, the respray is big bucks on its own, but is always worth it

    Definitely worth it I've seen what I think will be the colour o a Range Rover of all things it's a deep metallic red looks real good in the light although that could all change by the time she's built it could end up canarie yellow :lol:

  7. Thanks for the info I was thinking along those lines but just wasn't 100% sure and yes for the coupe bud. 

     

    As for your braces I'm interested leave it with me I'll see what funds I can raise I'll let you know asap cheers : )

  8. It will be a slow painstaking build as we are going to try and do every part second hand but obviously new with safety matters but everything else turbo setup interior bits brake upgrade suspension will all be used where practical the only real expense I foresee is the respray 

  9. well I'm building again but a little different this time my 8 year old son wants to build a car with me so got a hold of a ratty old coupe it's a mess and needs totally redone lol I'll get some pics for your amusement .

    I've never done a d series before I'm thinking of turbo so advice on which way to go would be appreciated guys .
