Thanks, glad you like it.

Yes Marlin are now pushing the 1.6 VTEC, but there was two main reasons I went the k route.

(i) Myself and some friends have some experience of the K-series, and as alot of this project is going to be a learning curve I thought I might try and simplify a bit.

(ii) The cost of the Honda route which ever way I cut it was at least £1k more.

Therefore I decided to start out with a 1.6k and them possibly upgrade at some later date if I decide I need to, when my finances will have recovered and I have more experience under my belt.
