Default Changing priorities (and engine)!!

Hi all,

Progress has been unimaginably slow since I bought parts 1 and 2 of this kit, mainly due to house DIY, wedding and a new baby. With different priorities, I'm trying to be realistic about ever getting this project done.

I'd originally planned to go the Type-R route but having read some of the issues around this, I'm thinking I need to stick with a simpler engine.

Trouble is, it's so long since i bought the kit that I forget which bits are Type-R specific. I think it's just the engine mounts and the exhaust. Does that sound right?

And am I correct in thinking a 1.6 or 1.8 K-series is going to be the most straightforward (and cheapest)?

Cheers,
Sconch
