Pete's 1995 Harvard Blue EG Civic

I'm not sure if an FK2 engine in an EG chassis would even be possible but would certainly tick the sh*ts and giggles box :D

K20 swap still seems to be the weapon of choice and would be easier to source (although finding a good one is the key)

damn you all for throwing engine combinations and ideas at me :)

If we're getting crazy with suggestions, then what about the L15B7 (the turbo lump from the 10th gen Si in the states)? 180hp/200lbft standard, there's a Hondata reflash available already taking it to 207/214. Smaller than the FK lumps (for obvious reasons), probably smaller than the K20 (turbo and intercooler notwithstanding). Could be fun.

Wants a grand for the gearbox which you would need, and no mention of ECU. That's before thinking about mounts which would a pain.

I saw a YouTube vid from the owner of Hasport, he's thinking of putting in the new 1.5 turbo engine (L15b7) in an old D-series chassis. He says it is a tall engine so would need to test fit, but it should go. If that's the case, you should be able to get mounts off the shelf for it pretty easily soon.

That is a stunning little car, i'd happily own and drive that. You could embarrass some serious money with that in the traffic light grand prix!
 
Good shout/spot Karl, lovely little build that.

A really clean Kswap is the route I would go down if an engine swap does happen, leaning far more towards the K rather than the also popular B series swaps.

Stevie at Grinspeed would definitely be the first call I'd make too.

The only thing stopping me is that the original engine has only covered 30k and is ridiculously clean, if it was really aged and spewing oil everywhere it would actually be an easier decision to do the swap.

Post engine swap the question would then be to keep it as a complete sleeper or modify the rest of the car and throw serious money at it.
Chris mentioned in an earlier post about having it as a sleeper which is appealing and would cost a lot less.
 
I'd go for a mix of both Pete. Sleeper looks with just some nice wheels and slightly lowered, but then the K Swap under the bonnet to scare a few people ;)

Haha, already got 3 cars on the drive - think the neighbours would ask if I was setting up a dealership if another one rocked up :D

Managed to get some really rubbish photos of a few of the bits that are hopefully going to get sorted tomorrow, might even have the car back on Tuesday evening which is quicker than I had expected.

Please tell me they had a child with them (and not just someone who calls them "Daddy"), otherwise the unbroken stereotype remains (and this should be posted i to the "You park like a cnut" thread too).
 
lol unable to confirm the presence of said child.

have to admit I presumed they had parked there to give themselves some extra space but obviously could be wrong.

not the colour/wheel colour I would automatically choose but was a stunning car, interior looking lovely, loads of carbon fibre splashed about
 
Got the car back last night and really happy with how it's turned out.

absolutely covered in dust including in all the sills so back to the drawing board with another deep clean but will get some pictures up post wash and polish.

22 year old EG now has less dents in it than my 3 series haha
 
A few photos from the Midlands Breakfast Club meet held last Sunday.

Definitely worth a trip out if you are within a fair distance of the Shrewsbury/Oswestry border, held every 2-3 months, free entry and a couple of bits onsite for the kids so can be a real family morning out.

Great to see a load of different manufacturers and models all in one place and I got a lot of nice comments about the EG from some of the enthusiasts which made the recent work carried out worth while.

I think the crowd stealing car of the day had to go to the McLaren though, stunning motor and brake discs looked to be about 16" :D
