Awesome thread, don't know how I managed to miss this until now!

K20 is a long term goal for me, so this is a great inspiration. Mega work.

Quote from: iower on June  8, 2021, 12:50Great work and really interested in the mix of parts you've used? Obviously Accord Type-S engine but is it an EP3 gearbox? Engine mounts the upper gearbox bracket from MWR and stock Toyota chassis side, similar for the engine (drivers) side? FN2 manifold fits over the subframe? Also good to know about the driveshafts that can be sleeved easily as these are another, normally expensive, requirement for the swap!

its a ep3 box with a accord final and has a dc5 LSD
engine  mounts are MAP you use all the stock mounts MRW upper for the k24 . anyone doing this dont buy innovate mounts they a  Sh*!
Fn2 manifold needs cutting off and angled up an i used a stainless flange of ebay £30
drive shaft i will be testing let everyone know the feed back

I've re read your thread and  confirmed my opinion of a job well done, thank you for sharing.
I note that you used Superpro bushes , did you manage to remove the old and refit the new without a press?
With your caliper refurb did you use after market or OE seals?

thanks very much for kind words
i used a press fro the wish bones but all others you dont need a press,
the caliper refurbs are parts from BIG RED used them many times. its not a hard job to do takes longer to clean and paint lol
i am looking at a big brake kit as a future mod
