#296361 Hi Im Nick,
South West, UK

I have just purchased a EG4 listed as spares or repares, the previous owner has said the car has a head gasket problem, i bought this car mainly for the shell as it has had a new paint job a couple months ago :thumb:
My plans are loose the d15b2 and swap in a B16A2 from the Ek4 Civic

below are a few pics of what i bought:

Got it back to my house, Cleaned it and stripped the rear

Image

Desided it needed a lick of paint :D

Image

Next i started on swap, Removed front bumper, splash guards and lights:

Image

Next the radiator and intake:

Image

Pulled the drive shaft and removed the header:

After making sure everything was disconnected from the engine, harnesses, grounds etc i made up a little cart for the engine to sit on and began to drop the motor though the bottom of the car.

What i want to do next is paint the bay, Also any advice with what i intend to do next would be much appreciated :)

#299838 Hey you should be able to use the MB6 ECU though might need a conversion harness for it to plug and play.

All other parts are right though double check pcd on the MB wheels as I have a 1.6 aerodeck family car which is 4x100 so might be the same on the MB6.
