I have been trying to get parts here in Europe at a reasonable price........impossible when you factor in customs duties and taxes!!!
I am afraid that I will probably have to go for the SR20DET swap for the car to make sense, does anyone have the details of how much has to be cut/fabricated please?
Regards, Julian

What are you trying to do? SR swaps can be a $20k exercise and parts are also getting rarer, so it's not necessarily a cheap or easy option. But the result can be great especially as part of a full build project as you will end up doing brakes and the rear end at least
Do you have a 1600 or 2000? Running or not?

Here is Richard's website in the Netherlands, I'd contact him for parts:
