Darren's K24 DC2 build


Can't decide on which style of lip to go get for my aero front end, going towards first molding because it sits lower, and the 17s will make it sit higher so will even out.



Also undersealed the drivers side inner wing and arch last night, took a wire brush to all the loose dirt and a wire brush on a grinder to the rust to take it away, sooo much better than last time when i used sand paper. Please note i did rub the rust away i just didnt take a picture of the shiny bare metal.

everyone runs spoon... including me lol
first moulding ftw.

id love to see one of those!
 
My god i have not updated this in a while.

Ok so recently i swapped my K20 and £350 of my hard earned cash for a K24/K20 off a boy down at the borders who was/is a mechanic.

Turns out the crank is sweary worded. I got it home and something just wasnt right so took it apart and the crank needs reground and needs new bearings.

I cant really be bothered posting pictures in order just now as this topic still annoys me.

But now i have a spare k20 that the bottom end has gone on so i have removed the head and am selling the block to a friend for his low comp build and i am keeping the head for a spare, i have put a deposit down on Jacks K24 bottom end and will be using that as he says it has a good crank.

Also i now have lots of bits to fit

5 stud hub swap
Ep3 Front brakes
F7 Rep rear lcas
Hardrace front and rear camber arms inc toe
Spoon Rep mirrors

I basically have everything to get my car rolling again so in the next few weekends i will be doing that and having the engine bay stitch welded ready for paint, now heres some pics of the stuff.

Knackered crank



K24 all stripped down



The two Type R heads built back up to save some space.


and the suspension goodies



hopefully have a better update soon.
 
Coming along nicely darren, shame to hear the 24 bottom end was ****** i can imagine how you would feel, keep going though
 
Thanks man, i suppose i will just keep my eye out for a spare crank to come up and build another one for another project with low comp pistons instead of high comp for a shell that isnt even a honda to piss off the haters lol
 
Had a very long road trip from Motherwell on Sunday. Drove down to see Jack to buy his K24 block as seen as my crank is done on the other one so after i move into a unit and i have more space to breath and move lol.
 
I had lots of weekends in that dc2 you bought.. one of the quickest dc2's I have ever been in. the build looks like its coming on well. Cant wait to see the finished result
