Took the front strut brace and plug cover off too incase they get damaged. I'll be swapping cam covers when Dom or Daz get here as well.

I easily guessed it was a B16B because I saw Daz's add selling one.
Good point about the mapping if you aren't going to be using it much then it will be fine. As long as its not running a stock (as in stock B16B ecu) map it will be fine, B16B's need intake and exhaust and remap to get the best from them.
You should love the B16B, I loved mine loads which is why I kept it for so long, just wait to you rev her out to 9000 in 1st to 4th gear the first time, you'll grin like a looney. Also imo they are the best sounding B series. I still want another B16B powered car sometime in the future. Its easy to get carried away with one though so watch your license.
Just to add, I think you could benifit from an aftermarket intake setup before its mapped, I'd reccommend something like I had or a AEM Hybrid. Notcied a big gain in vtec after switching to cold air intake.
No time I'm afraid, the car is getting picked up tomorrow. I did look into it and been keeping my eye out, but they all seem to be in the USA, and can't justify the cost of buying one new. I quite like my setup, seems to work well but might be a bit skinny for the B16B.
Works fine for a B16A, but the B16B will need to breathe a lot more.
I still have the metal pipe from my old setup if you want it, all you'd have to buy in a 45 degree silicion pipe and you've got a decent cold air intake for little money.

You have the pipe from the t/b to airbox? Could be worth a shout, but your not home are you?
I have the silver pipe with BMC on it and the short metal joiner, you just need the silicon tubing in the photo assuming you already have a suitable filter, if not I have one too but its a bit old. If you want it I'll send it for you for £5 plus postage.
