Just want an EK or very good EG rolling shell as I have an engine, box and loom, I'm not bothered about interior but would prefer to have a dash of some sort. Ideally in the East Anglia region. Big ask I know but, if you don't ask... Cheers Rob

I'm costing up a similar project - did you do this in the end and what level of hell was it?

Doh! Just seen this http://www.ek9.org/forum/engine/48362-b16b-into-eg-esi-auto.html

Its just a cost analysis thing at the moment, theres no EK4 VTi models around near me at the moment, and I feel the need to get something done on this project after a year of no money.

Cheers Crissy, plain forgot about pedal box. Joe - sorry the car, local to me is a 97 Civic 1.6i ES 3dr Auto, seems to be in nice condition and is relatively local to me. Loom I'm not worried about as I'm currently making a custom one

It was some entertaining racing, well worth visiting next season.

It's way past time for me to put my B16B in a car of some sort - I'd hoped to get a VTi but they're thin on the ground. I have done some searching on the forum but haven't found anything that addresses this: What's needed mechanically to replace an auto with a B16B? I doubt the engine mounts...

Unfortunately the Hondas didn't stand much chance against the likes of the VWs prepared to an outstanding level like this one:

Saw these delights in Luxenbourg last week

Can you give us a close up of the pistons and squish bands on the cylinders that didnt have a valve break off inside it? I'd love to see the extent of the detonation damage caused by that!

If the CTR driver hadn't thrown his car up over the concrete apexes each he'd not have lost his advantage over the hatchi.

What price did they quote? Are you going to need to make any further changes to the valve train?

Ever thought of using Cat Cams? If you don't like the profiles they offer you can spec custom profiles. Failing that I'd give Endyn Bump Sticks a looking at.

The race engine company my mate works for use JE Pistons, they do various Honda already, so they know the specs and you can request custom changes. I'm told that the prices are "reasonable"...

I see you're in the club as my mate David Blades, not seen him in too long a time.

I think you're going to need to talk to a specialist insurer. They're going to want to hear you talk about brake and suspension upgrades as well as the engine. As for the DVLA, last time I did one, I updated the log book and sent it off with the new engine number.

What's happening to your pistons?

I know Bren and the people behind K-Sport (at least in the UK) they genuinely believe in their products an use them on their own cars. Sure they're never going to compare to shocks like Nitron, but they done compare in price either - and are we really good enough drivers to be able to say that...

From what I've read on Endyn's pages making 300bhp is a case of getting the engine to rev safely to 10,500rpm... quite what magic cams allow him to make torque up there god alone knows.

When I lost my job, I sold up everything I had and went travelling overland in Africa, six months turned into 10 months and I do not regret a single thing about it. In the years after you return you can buy back all the stuff you sold, but you might find that you don't need so much of it after...
