Mine will barely get used so a bit of vibration I can live with. I have driven mine once in the wet and even with 200bhp it lost traction in 3rd haha. We’ll both be needing good tyres!

Had a bit of a late one at the workshop, got the engine sitting nicely! Front cross member notched, I will be removing more under he oil filter so it can be easily accessed. Then again plating back up for strength.   Cheers For info, the Mahle OC 295 oil filter is about half the height and will give you loads more clearance to the crossmember.   |

Following this for progress because researching compatible starter motors got me looking at other Honda models.
I struggle to replace like for like parts so fitting an engine from a completely different car and manufacturer just amazes me. I’d never attempt a conversion myself but always interested to see what goes into it in case I ever commission the work on for someone else to do.

The minty wagon is looking awesome! So a small update with no pics: I have obtained a 46k miles APX 1.8t engine (same as BAM 1.8t, 225 from an audi TT) with a lovely TD05 bolted to it  so should be good for some decent power once I put some rods in it. I will dig the civic out again once I get my T4 finished Cheers |
