That's a very loaded question!

Lots of updates. Unfortunately the lude is sat outside with a worn clutch and the rust mite are feasting on the rear arches.
It will sit there for another month until I help it with a lethal injection and R.I.P time :cry: Emotional times for both of us.

There will be some parts available d2 coilovers, uprated rear Arb, buckets, steering wheel, chassis (actually very solid just slightly rusting on arches) just had new rear wheel bearings fitted.

I have bought this and collecting tomorrow for those with forum access:

The 2.2 VTEC and LSD will not be available as it is going into the civic :D
Just deciding now to go H2B (not liking that the bonnet doesn't shut or h22 conversion. I spoke to Hond-r and rich at auto works, apart from them being busy the costs are quite high so I'm going to homebrew it with my local mechanic (extremely competent) and it means I get to project manage, source parts and be more involved in the build as he let's me work with him in the workshop.

The plan is to source the best quality parts, billet mounts, quality drive shafts, new exedy clutch, do some maintenance, cam belt, water pump etc but keep engine standard for now.

I got a feeling your 'race' car might just waste me but it won't be through lack of trying :)

It looks as though EK with the H2B conversion the bonnet shuts perfectly :) Its just the DA, EG, EF & DC that suffer. Hmmm I'm liking the idea of ditching cable shifting and there just happens to be a 33k miles B series gearbox at my disposal....

Good luck with the project but i do not rate exeddy clutches.
Ive seen lots of these fail after a very short life after a little stick.
Just a bit of advice.

It's better than it being broken though guys, right?

:think: this might be the first time I've seen a lude advertised for sale as a track car? (shag racing one doesn't count...)
