Egor back on the road

[robin]

You are of course welcome - and by the looks of it you're making up for lost time

WTF, Craig told me you had put a K back in so where did the Honda come in to it?

Tut, I told you I was putting a Honda in it ... you must be going senile

Egor. The Elise with three engines. Welcome back.

3.5 ... the original 135 head, gearbox and just about everything else was replaced multiple times before the Audi went in

[tut]

Going? Looks like I got there.

And I intend to continue... Until SWMBO reigns it back in again....

Great to see Egor back on the road and now with a man's engine. Look forward to seeing it not break down at a track day!

[robin]

We'll see ... Egor might just have a spanner fetish!

[Dominic]

Good stuff! Look forward to seeing her in action again

[gambler]

Great stuff Robin, I had a drive in Andy's car and the Honda is awesome in an S1.

I think the Donkey may be getting a Honda conversion at some point, it does cut down the racing options though.

Good stuff Robin, hadn't realised it'd been so long since Egor was on the road.

Of my previous 5 trips, 4 had been abandoned due to engine reliability (alternator regulator failure, starter motor pinion, alternator case failure, exhaust manifold failure). I couldn't really see how to prevent these things happening.

Ape had driven this car right?

Congrats another stalwart joins the brethren.

Is the honda kit for the S1 different to the Rover S2? I always thought the rover mechanicals were the same but have been advised otherwise....

If they're different this might be of interest to you Scott?? If the same, step away lol

It really isn't worth the money/effort to go that route unless it's super cheap. Given the vintage of donor cars now, I would suggest buying a running Civic Type R of the one lady owner type and drive it for a month if you can. Then you'll know it's an OK runner (might still fail, but at least it's not bust to start with and not drinking oil, etc.).

The kit I bought wasn't expensive and I suspect the same is true, more or less, whichever route you take.

S2 fitting kit is a little different (shafts, electrics).

If you do go down this route I am trying to pull together an "odds&sods" box that mops up all the little wiring jobs so that you have a proper automotive connector and no relays, etc., to install.

Cheers,
Robin
