I'm comfortable enough to assume that I'm deffo getting Dino's engine now. All that is left to do is to drive down to Wales, hand the man a wadge of cash, and in return I get a built ~277bhp H22a 8-) It's not in my possession yet but its now virtually assured. When the engine is out for the swap im going to install the new heater/blower system, replace all the heater hoses in the engine bay while I'm at it.

I have one dilema though, clutches :? At the moment I have an Exedy clutch to put in, bought when all thought I was going to be using was my spare H22a7. Obviously I'm going to be putting in a much better clutch. Do splurge the £300-£400 on a decent paddle clutch now? Or do I install the Exedy and wait untill next year when I plan to fit an LSD & final drive?

On a much less exciting note I bought a towing strap for the front of the car. With my low front lip the OEM towing points are practically inaccessible, towing from them would have ripped my lip off. Luckily I have never been off before.

Ive seen lots of exeddy Honda clutches die a death from three or four races at my mates workshop.
Personally id sell your exeddy on and put those funds towards a copetition stage 4 paddle clutch.

Pretty sure that clutch was snapped up by Dino a while back now, and has a new owner again. :wink:

I have his old ACT now (once I pick it up), I do have my XTD Stage 4 clutch spare. Someone did have first dibs and I was holding it for a while. I could ask him what the deal is if you your interested?

Cheers for the heads up but I have a Fidanza 8lb fly wheel here and I need to get a new clutch as it will be taking serious pinishment :twisted: Also I think I will be getting a 4 puck clutch.
