Makes perfect sense. I understand now the dont reinvent the wheel thing!
I drove over a decade with the 2 litre. Many trackdays, chairty events and fast road. Works great with the std gearbox and cannot have any real complaints to be honest. Problem is wanting power
I know that feeling!
And then there was a long day driving over from Holland to Calais, tunnel to Folkestone and a long touristic route to the pick up point.
The Honda engine, gearbox, mounts, subframe, loom, hondata and toyota gear shifter+cables have arrived.
Time to clean up the garage, get all the tools in order and start wrenching. First need to order more bits and pieces like RCC intake manifold, exhaust, drive shafts, etc.
That’s a decent haul! Will be following this with interest.
970km without the tunnel.
Left at 0315 at night and back home at 2230.
Food in Brighton, tour at analogue automotive, did some more sightseeing.
Have not been in the UK since 2009 it was good but to short.
Think next trip will be to HPE to pick up items I need to order.
