Nice once! And not a bad first buy at £1 per bhp ;-)

Did you fabricate your own engine mounts and did you do the driveshafts yourself as well?

Know this feeling all too well as well :lol: ...

yes nathan most of the work has been done by myself. The drive shafts i did the macining but got an expert to glue them together.Engine is JDM H22a, standard 5 speed g/box at the moment.
I have got 'spoon' copy chip for it once I can get it sorted. Am suffering with no Vtec at the moment :cry:

Epic work + rep.

My mate had one of these rovers, a 1.8vvti, it had full leather, a glass targa top, it was emaculate! He recently sold it and could only get £300 for it :shock: they're a lot of car for peanuts. :lol:

Thanx for your comments guys. Glad that you have been supportive. :D
I have really enjoyed doing this conversion and have been at it 2years now. wish there was more time available.I have been asked a few times 'why bother?' my answer has always been 'Why not and because I can'

I will post some more on this when I can :D
