#209454 Hey, i'm Shane. I'm new here. I tried looking for a JDM B18c but couldn't so I found a cheap B16a from a EK in japan

Engine-
d15b7

Suspension-
Beaks lower tie-bar

Interior-
SiR cup holders
SiR centre arm rest/glovebox

Exterior-
Mugen front lip
SiR fog lights (yellow)
15 inch lenso rims

So after 3 weeks of of the car just sitting there on jack stands, finally got the engine out. Not bad for someone who's not from a mechanical background

Dropping in the B16 tomorrow, then change over the loom etc... fun..

#209456 First, nice Hatch :thumb:

If you drove a skyline, then I'd say you need more than a mini-me swap since you're used to some power :twisted:

How much are you looking to spend (what can you afford?)

Also, how expensive is fuel down there, just curious?

#211831 Came across this on ebay, so decided to buy it.
It's a B16a halfcut from an JDM EK Civic with only 84,000kms! $3000 Epic win!

It should be a straight fit, right? Any problems I might run into?

#211832 looking good!

here in Holland Fuel 98 = 1,57 Euro (US $2,01) a litre
1 Gallon = 3,7 Litre. Soo, 1 gallon fuel = US $7,44
