Nice!
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

i dont know your budget or how much you know about hondas but the engine and box to go for is the integra dc5 about 25 bhp more with factory lsd also no immobiliser if you are running the two ecus but it does come at a higher price,or you could just go full on k24 on k-pro for silly power   s:D :D s:D    s:D :D s:D    s:D :D s:D  ,will be watching this with interest
     oh there is a big thread about  mr2 k20 swapping on k20a.org the honda boys showing the mr2 some love lol

I don't really have a budget tbh, it costs what it costs... However I don't want to waste money just for an extra few hp.. If I wanted big power I'd stick a forged mk2 rev3 turbo lump in there like Lee has but I've already got 2 mk2 turbos, one running 300whp   s:) :) s:)  
I've had/driven many different roadsters with different engines and powers and 200hp is perfect for it IMO.... Especially as it is now the wifes car   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

I've already got the donor car   s8) 8) s8)   Paid just under £1200 for it and I should pull some of it back on the interior, wheels, aftermarket bits, etc

Vin, I can't remember what you said was your option for the manifold when we spoke, but I may have a cheap over-the-top alternative availalble if it works out. Give me a couple weeks......

Lol. That Starlet isn't mine it belongs to Nathan who owns Mrtwos.... Doesn't look like much at the moment but he's doing a full resto on it, and putting a very special rare engine in it  s:) :) s:)

Mine passed its mot.... Obviously the 13 miles in between mot's didn't take its toll on anything   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Oh, and I think that thing on the roof is a rear diffuser off something

Trust me, the picture does it much justice and a refurbed cam cover hides a hundred sins  s:) :) s:)

The space that I rent is right next to harvested fields and the crop dust never stops when the wind picks up!

I should do a build thread at some stage, as it has been a real up and down year with getting it out and running, but I'm getting there!
