[BiGbEn]

i think i just jizzed in my pants

[haveaparty]

almost hav the engine out of the s2000. is alot harder then it looks. ive spent like 7 hours trying already and finnaly hav it to the point where its floating in the breeze. but cant pull it out the top cause it hits on the reo bar and cant drop it out the bottom with completly removing the sub frame. but since i dont want to grind anything off so i can still sell the shell ill hav to drop the subframe down and bolt it back up so it can roll agen

engine out of the panel van





enigne out of the s2000






chilling out, waiting to be worked on

[haveaparty]

so didnt get to work on it for like over a month but last couple weekend ive made some progress. i wont post up all the pics cause that will take ages, but i fitted the motor while lowereing the crossmember 2 inces so i didnt hav to cut outthing out besides the crossmemebr itself. but i didnt like lowering it that much so i cut the tunnel out and now its only lowered 1 inch and the bonnet just clears by about 5 or so millimeters.

so i had to cut the crossmember up to clear the sump, cut out way to much so will do another one later down the track




made mounts out of 2 left hand engine brackets from a 4a and standard 4a rubber mounts




took a while to work out where the center was but i found it eventually

[haveaparty]

as i sed before i cut the tunnel out so i didnt hav to lower it so much






ended up cutting it all the way back so i could het the shifter in a level position




still looks awesome

[haveaparty]

had double that clearance before i raised the crossmember back up a touch





thats pretty much eveything up to date, next thing on the list is to make a gearbox crossmember

nice work this is a real unique conversion cant wait to see a video when its done to hear the noice out of the ae wagon

[haveaparty]

cheers man. i want to make 2 exhausts for this. one for the street and one for the track that exits infront of the rear wheel with no mufflers so its stupid loud lol

[Moppitt]

Seeing how tight it is for space, its definitely a good thing you didn't go for the K24 then. They are something like 20mm taller in the block and thats space you really dont have...

Great to see the progress!

[briney]

sweet conversion. are you going to close up the crossmember where you cut it ? if you plate over the holes it will give it some strength back.

[haveaparty]

yeah gunna weld it all up to look nice. im goin to do another one tho, one that isnt cut back so much and neater mounts. but this will do for now.

havnt done anything since i cut the tunnel. next on the list tho is to make a gearbox crossmember
