Happy to see you in another S Alex

Obviously do the clutch now it will be easier in the long run.

Gutted to see her in that state! Good luck with the build!


I'm from Northants area too... perhaps we can meet up when your new one is up & running?

Oh this is going to be a fun few weeks building that car up to the spec the silver one was

Looking forward to progress pics!
You're not wrong! Most mods are salvagable though thankfully. Wheels need a repair and the coilovers on the front need replacing as well as a new front lip but the undamaged parts are:

Driveshaft spacers
Rack spacers (I hate this job!)
Rear toe arms
Beaks rear tie bar
Spoon front X brace
Decat
Buddyclub exhaust
polybushed arms (apart from front left)
Veilside V1 boot spoiler
Strakes
probably more but I can't think off the top of my head

While we're on the subject, I don't know what to do with regards to the clutch...whether to get an uprated one or just a standard OEM one? I may add a VTEC Controller and possibly some nitrous at some point so may as well do a job of it in one go to save the effort in the future.

If anyone has any tips on the engine removal also feel free to chip in and post.

Thanks
If you split the engine and box, make sure you slide out the clutch fork, it's a right basket to split If you don't. When you re-fit the engine make sure you realise the clutch is a pull not a push clutch.Good luck with it.

Guys - please note I AM NOT SELLING THE ABOVE ITEMS SO PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THEM! If you read the thread properly as well as the post that I put this list up in I will be SWAPPING them over to my new black S2000.

Mr-pitts, thanks for the heads up on the gearbox and clutch fork, I remember reading that somewhere now that you've mentioned it but couldnt remember where!

AJ - looks like I might be up for that mapping with a VTEC controller after all also with mention of the clutch, I read in the other thread I've posted about OEM or an ACT one...which is the good one to go for? I can't believe how expensive the OEM kit is!

The car will definitely be ready for JAE guys! The plan is to have it all done within a 6 week time frame or faster if possible but the bodywork will be the bit that takes time to we shall see. I'll manage to get everything else done within the next 2 weeks if everything goes according to plan.

Thanks for the comments and input from everyone else I haven't mentioned
