Started on the clocks. Deleting temp sensor and lights that will no longer be needed and placement of the gauges think it looks ok You cannot view this attachment.

It's a brilliant build Justin. Really impressive and I can't believe how little you've managed to do it for.
As you said earlier, right place right time but k20s are usually known to hit the 9-10k mark and your nowhere near. 

Love how you're not just doing the engine. Full car overhaul. It looks fantastic. It'll be a beauty

Thanks you for your kind words.

Just the immobiliser delete to do but it is now wired all gauges and wiring lights also done. Learnt so much doing the wiring relays soldering and routing enjoyed it and my main aim is to make it nice and tidy also. It will be awesome 

And centre console also started I will make a fibre glass shell and trim it as that's my trade.

Anyone have any experience using rouge seat mounts ?

[Topdownman]

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the centre console.

With no handbrake there, you have quite a bit of space under the console.

So first attempt to start she cranked over and got good oil pressure but have issue with the immobiliser delete long day so will try again in the week

So close !

some small things to do

Wire up rear number plate lights done, abs wires extended and most of all built the console

wired in and fitted the warning lights removed the clock as it's pointless and got some abs carbon plastic and made them fit nice and looks stock.

and the oil pressure gauge and water temp gauge this will have the same carbon effect as the warning lights.

This is awesome, I'm currently doing a k20 swap so its great to see some good quality pictures.

Not posted for a while been busy waiting on stuff seats mainly seats due to lock down but now sorted really wanted to try before I buy. Also got some planted seat mounts and some sparco seats I love them as I am a odd shape wide in the back big legs and as much as I love those buckets I don't fit these are amazing seats well pleased and keep with the Honda theme

List below of all little things I had to do
Clutch and brakes fluids done
Air box done will run it see how it's goes
Re located window switches
Finished off warning lights and centre console
Drive shafts all done local engineering did a great job will see how they go. He makes shafts for motorsport teams and he is like 1 mile from me ! He said break them if you can
Custome dial kit on the way more on them when they arrive

What's left is really the exhaust !

And carbon wrap a few things

Hope that this year we can have a get together!

I could be interested in driveshafts.
My V6 killed one in 2019 and haven't done enough miles since to see how its holding up.
Were they expensive?
Any idea how much torque they could take?

[Topdownman]

Congratulations on the progress.

Clever idea on the window switch relocation. Do they fit straight in or do you have to modify anything?
Did you need to extend the wiring or can you just take them out of where they are in the loom to get them to reach the dash?

This would make a complete custom centre console much more do-able if you dont have to try to integrate the switch holders into it so I am interested!

Loom is fine just a small bit of trimming on the panel but not much with a file and held in with a hot melt gun.

Martin page engineering cost was £80 for a pair they are sleeved. heat fitted he said try break them so I will lol.

Images of drive shafts as requested

I went with insane driveshafts for mine, Probably over kill as i'm staying NA (actually my wife said that)

NA on a 4 pot?
Yes total overkill.
Even V6s don't brake drive shafts NA. Except the 2gr

I do like a good safety margin

Great work 👍 I'm just down the road near Yeovil and am k swapping an MR2 also. Can I ask what you supplied for the driveshafts (I assume just MR2 and Type R shafts) and if you asked for any specific measurements?

[p5ycho]

Wow somw serious work went into this one. Following!

[iower]

Great 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!
