Cars manual! :D Gearbox + flywheel off a d16a9 gear box feels good, just the ratios feel odd? Like there's not enough power going through the box?
So it's running on twin carbs but need to sort the idle issue out. Doesn't idle until up to temp but idle has to be high :( like just above 1000rpm any ideas?
Get some pics up Tomorrow

If you are still looking for a D15 cam Connar, Civic EG LSI's either hatch or coupe are D15 non vtec is UK models. Worth keeping an eye out at the scrappies.

Yeah shouldn't be too long before one pops up. Looking through your thread and the car has come a long way! That momo wheel you had with no horn was again from an EG coupe "Black Magic" my wee bro had one and I have the same steering wheel in my car.
