Swaps never work out cheap people who do bigmods like engines into lower models do out of love for the car and modding O and it's not a ronda it's Honda it's the rover that is part Honda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyekye09 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 O and it's not a ronda it's Honda it's the rover that is part Honda x2 yep these peeps that think rover had the chassis first what happened when mg/rover folded mr honda and his techs were first into the factory to remove all THERE tooling....... ronda cheeky knob yeah thats why my turbo build is now on its second year and probs wonts be finished any time soon i got quoted one price that kept going up and up.....

garyvtec Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 yea i got quoted 300 from street racer but iv heard that the work isnt great and was told not to trust them and go to type two honda as he builds the best cars over here but he quoted 1500 i nearly fainted when he said it. so i think im gonna focus on getting it looking right now and then do a swap when the bank alows it im gutted. selling my itr wheels aswell so i can get a set of rotas instead. and still trying to find cheap ebay coilovers but no joy as of yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
