So close now can't wait to get the engine in.

Alex Knight

Presume you've replaced all you reasonably can whilst the engine is out?

Yes Alex on the tread is a parts list so far. It has had a full overhaul and has a type s oil pump 50 degree vtc gear so future proof.

Wiring tape arrived so finished than. Engine in this week or I will be disappointed 

Once it's rolling I have some paint work to do on my type s civic. Want to give ruby some love also. Want to replicate the pic below

 8) all on my own but it's in ! Is this the first k24 in the uk ? If not let me know

I am under no illusion that was the easy bit ! Now got to work through all the systems and get her running then and only then will I build up the suspension as if she don't run then a huge rethink

Could be mate seen the k20 done but not the 24.
Well done.
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.

So some new parts on the market Mitch auto parts mounts look great and way better than the innovative rubbish. I had made my own and they are ok but these are tried and tested

For reference these two mounts and the gearbox mount he sells I did not need will swap a k20. For k24 you need a different top mount it's from monkey wrench but only £30

I have also put my name down for drive shafts from Mitches also. Brandon is great he done many swaps. Trust me he is the go to for parts

Good on you well I can give you a lot of advice so you don't make the same mistake I did.

What engine have you got ? What gearbox ?

justinread72

So a week off work cracking on with suspension and engine mounts and looking also at plumbing it and fuel lines 
Wiring loom on the way and immobiliser delete


Brake lines coilovers track rod ends lots of new parts. Images tomorrow as it got dark

Now anyone doing a kswap you must use the Mitch auto parts mounts period they are buy far the best fitting and use all the Toyota mounts to looks very stock and also uses a fourth mount unlike innovative rubbish

Alex Knight

Nice work Justin. Keep it up!

So I have raised the shifter and I hate the handbrake on these cars and the centre console the handbrake never works well on the three I have owned so for a while I been wanting to do something and here is my relocated handbrake now foot  brake ! It's Toyota so the light switch is the same and this has so much more adjustments so I hope it works.it's of a Toyota Prius 
I never liked the gear shift position always to low.

Well happy with how it's turned out. And thanks lockdown where are my brake pads as now I am stuck. But will start on wiring. Coolant lines and clutch line is done 


Joesson

No more "handbrake turns" for you then Justin!

Topdownman

Not sure if I am more impressed by the work you have done on the car or the purchasing of the donor cars!

Keep up the good work as I am really looking forward to seeing the end result.

Ok so today the starter solenoid fired for the first time !  8)

Anyone doing a k swap in any car use this harness and in my opinion is better than any specific roadster/spyder k swap harness this was £150 and with immobiliser delete came to £240 also that was next day deliver from Cyprus.

The instructions are good and you get to have engine light oil and alternator lights !

Justin, this is a properly tidy job.

Fantastic that you've done it all on your own, in a small(ish) garage. Great work that man.
