    the question is, WHY?

    You can do it with what you have got, but you will need to fab up the engine mounts.

    hey man good to see you finally joined,

    how do you know for sure that the reason the 18r isnt running right due to ignition, didnt graham build the motor himself, all sorts of stuff could be wrong wit it, could the be sidedrafts are out of tune!! points arent right, etc....i reckon try to get it cheaper and find out 100% wat the problem is!!

    btw, u gna come to the dyno day???

    I believe the x member is wider.

    If you were going for bolt in you would source an RA20 x member from the states.
