Sounds like a good plan :thumbs:

If you want uber fun, throw in a h22 from a prelude into a DX (lightest) EG.... low 14s easy, high 13s if you're good. Less hassle than tuning a B-series, and much more torque :)

unlucky mate, u don't seem to be having much luck at the min.

Have a go yourself if your confident but remeber you'll have to do the cambelt as well the HD and being a BM 6 can't imagine it being an easy job.

good luck mate

yup, an independent will charge about £550 for it, bm around £7-800 i think.
