This ^^^^

Suspension and brakes then B swap. B18/B16 really depends what your goals are, if you want to go na with power go b18c, if you are thinking about forced induction then maybe b18c4. If you just want to have fun then imo a b16 is perfect.
 
Ok I may just go for b16 then I want it for fun to be fair, what kind of suspension you think would be good? Il get all this done before the b swap cheers for input people
 
Personally if i was going to drop a b series in another chassis i would go b18c4.
Reason being it would be decent stock n/a, i could build it up to a high performance n/a, or i could turbo it.
It leaves a lot of options available and its cheap!
 
Set of BC or Meister R coilovers are a nice upgrade but its worth checking your bushes and ball joints etc. replace worn parts before you start upgrading things. Brakes wise a set of ek9 282 calipers/carriers should be good enough for your needs.

What's easier fit? B16 or b18?
 
Anyone know if anyone in or around east sussex would take on doing the convertion?
 
If you have 262mm brakes at the front, just get a rear disc brake conversion. Also get yourself some decent lowering springs/coilovers and a rear anti roll bar, you will not believe the difference the rear anti roll bar makes to an ej9!!

B16a2 conversions aren't too pricey these days and can be done for a decent price. Plenty of info on this around the net.

Main parts are:
Engine loom (obd2a so it matches dash loom)
Engine and gearbox
B16 engine mounts
Driveshafts
Chipped ecu with b16 map
B-series Exhaust manifold
2.5 inch exhaust system
Air intake setup (whales ***** or ek4 airbox are easist to fit into ek's)

I have probably missed a few bits but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Hopefully this helps as wasn't sure how much you knew about conversion!
