I am building it with a mate. An all NEW one so will be after part numbers if any one has info please let me now :eusa_shifty:

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.

Not heard of anyone else doing a type R version except Marlin. Good luck!!

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... :icon_eek:

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... :cry:

we have gone for a second hand engine due to scary prices for new ones.
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. :eusa_pray:

Dan 7th September 2005 11:38

Thats not a bad price at all. out of interest where did you get it from, and did they have anymore..... :eusa_drool:

BIG_Fella 7th September 2005 11:58
