I think if i was going to do a honda conversion i would do 4x4 turbo with the minitec subframes so you can actually put the power down

Holy shite cut the back out ! That takes a pair.

If it was me on your car it would be a promotive front engine with very little mods!

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Looking forward to this change of direction, the purists will have your head on a pole!

One thing that surprised me recently was seeing one of the spaceframe cars in the allcomers race at brands with a tuned 1800vtec getting dispatched pretty easily by endaf with the 1460 kad engine. Still, be a great road/track motor.

Seriously, I hope you are joking. It's a very nice way to get rid of £5000 though.

Fair play, to be honest I have been thinking of a clubman front and a turbo rover k series up front. 160bho out of the marks and 200bhp with a remap and good torque off to a winner.

This is a shit idea. At least put a K-series in as that'll fit under the front and keep your styling etc.

Vtec engines do fit under a standard front, but it takes a lot of work to get them in there.

It's good to see something a bit different to the norm.

A few but not to many, I would say 20-30 should do it.

Does the gearing work with 10 inch wheels? Or do you have to swap final drives with another box to make first gear usable? Sorry for the noob question...

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet
