Welcome Big Fella.
If someone here hasn't got the parts catalogue you need, you'll probably find CD based ones on Ebay.
Giid luck with your build.

Welcome to the forum. I picked my kit up last month, been too busy donor stripping to get started yet though. Are you getting a second hand type-r engine? been told there 6.5k new from Honda... 
Terry told me there are a few type r builders. I tried but failed to buy one on ebay last week as I'm rather tempted to drop my VVC k-series in favour of the Honda screamer. There hard to find though as all the elise owners seem to be snapping them up for conversions...

I got a complete engine gearbox ecu wiring loom and ancils for £2115 off an 04 plate 14000 miles this was the cheapest quote i got so had to have it it arrives on monday.
