First off, massive shout out to Adam at Speed science https://www.speedscience.co.nz/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA962BBhCzARIsAIpWEL2z87qjykyrShz09EZfNI3U8yFTcYh3UWPvnl9T5LmTRvIINZ6mJmIaAmNeEALw_wc
was a big help with finding me the parts i needed including some hard to find bits at the moment.
and Brian and the gang over at vtec academy for the knowledge bombs in my ear holes... highly recommend checking out vtec academy live for taco Tuesdays.
and of course hasport mounts
I have quit my job to build a YouTube channel (would appreciate a follow if you enjoy the content). https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJaqDTwsTs6Rx3vrAaIrSsA
First major project is my wife's first gen RD1 Honda CRV and like the title says its getting a K Swap.
It's not the first time the RD1 has been on my channel, I have a series on dismantling it for vinyl wrap and refreshing plastic trims.
this is how it started life ... Spanish rose and a bit tired but with the nice oem extras. sun roof, WANG, nudge bar, nurf bars etc
stripped it down
gave it a cut and polish and then attempted vinyl wrapping
For the k swap i needed to upgrade to 5x114.3 hubs, unfortunately i didn't document this as time was an issue but i still have the donor crv that we will be swapping more bits off of soon.
i also had a Honda odyssey i was flipping that ended up being a cvt mechanical write off so i pulled the engine and kept the wheels and new tyres, the rest went to the wreckers.
my wife decided she liked the 18" rims over the stock steel ones i had on the freshly swapped 5x114.3 hubs ...
not bad.. kinda looks like a drug dealer now... but it's temporary as she wants the offroad look, wide steelies a lift and some off road tyres.
i was waiting on some transmission work to be finished on my S2000, so while that's taking up room in the garage it's time to unbox a bunch of goodies from Speed Science and start getting the k24a3 reading for its new home.
If anyone is interested here is a link to the s2000 content and the s2k
