well all the bits to stroke it to a 1.8 and 205bhp are about 1k, itb's about 400, cams springs blah blah about 800, then misc bearings shells, then you need management.

Decided against an s3 then? Looks nice anyway, although the integra is definately the looker.

indeed, rocker looks brand new. if its been repainted then you must find out which paint they used

yeah the rocker cover and strut brace are red fleck stuff standard. the rear has a lower brace under the car but none on the strut tops, dc2 has a rear one?



that was my 97 ek9's engine bay, not quite as nice.

can't think if the DC2 has a lower one off the top of my head, i seem to remember it has, the strut-top one was an optional extra, perhaps the same for the EK9?

nah ek9s never came with the top rear ones, you have to cut the boot plastics to fit them.

0-60 in 5.7, its a 1.6 with 185bhp, but the 5.7 figure is debated saying it was a lighter model that set it blah blah, its still bloody quick.
