look its my car....the gunmetal one

great build i'll come down again tomorrow at your work to see how its getting along................again

SIred91 · 01-06-2008, 11:26 PM

Nice man..But I would have saved the new car and swapped the grey one.

Good on ya, either way though!

reynardmauricio · 01-07-2008, 07:08 AM

i didn't wanna redo my old one. it had a fully built 99spec itr motor, so i really didn't want to rip it apart and dump much more money into it cuz it was nice the way it was but i just wanted an even minter shell than what i had. all the new parts i was saving for the grey one are now going to go on my new one which only has about 111k on it. anyway, here some pics of my old car (which is now JhorickJFL's)...

wiZCo · 01-07-2008, 08:24 AM

Looking good!

Anybody know if this swap has been done on a RHD yet?

Is this a true EF8 or a conversion?

APEX CRX · 01-07-2008, 08:31 AM

nice build, good luck

GSX 4G63T · 01-07-2008, 01:04 PM

That is super clean and you have lots of money. i wish I had $9000 and did a K20 INTEGRA Swap

Looking at your old car, I'm pretty confident this is going to turn out NICE. Keep up the good work!

theres one out in the uk and one in croatia i think.

gotta use the ek rear mount. and some washers on the b/d timing belt side mount.
If the car came factory equipped with a bseries.

reynardmauricio · 01-07-2008, 09:47 PM

yes, it's a real rhd ef8. and there are a handful of rhd k20's but most of them being overseas. this proposes the same problems on my car like the mounts not fitting properly b/c the frame rails are different, the tranny mount being too wide etc.

my biggest problem was sourcing out a manual rack for a rhd but i've already got one straight from honda primo. it came complete with tie rods and all (thanx chris). i'm also converting from cable clutch to hydraulic with a wilwood clutch master cylinder.
