So I have had this car sitting around for some time now. I have had for sale on and off many times during that period. You see when i first bought the wagon my intentions where the honda v6 engine. with the 6speed. However i already have a FWD turbo Honda and dont need another! I Pulled the engine and sold it off.

]I have since measured and pondered many swaps and even thought about dumping the chassis all together. How ever I always did come back to two things I wanted from the car. Bike engine and RWD.

I picked up an 2002 R1 and tore it apart. got the engine out with my Father on Easter and that night I had the engine on the bench.
I couldn't help myself but to tear the radiator and header off so i can get it in the engine bay.

Welcome! Very cool project. I almost bought one of those Hondas back in '89...ended up getting a Corolla Alltrac wagon instead (which I drove for 20 years....still kinda wish I had not sold it).

You have my attention! :lurking:
