Keep an eye on the oil level at the dipstick, listen out for any pinging or rattling noises from the engine.

Right on,
thats crazy talk...

Just be aware, that if you get one over the other, your shock abosorbers or coilovers wont work.

DC2R/EG6 LCA's = DC2R/EG6 coilovers/suspension.
EG = EG coilovers or suspension.

Im unsure if...

What exactly are you wanting to do to your car???

Cars are quiet advanced. I just finished a 4 year apprenticeship, i still am learning new things every day.

IMO, the best thing you could do if you were this interested in learning about your cars...

I want a captiva blue EG6 SiR-S.

Chance of obtaining one.... Slim to none.

Can only hope rules are changed in the near future which is also a slim chance.

If people were wanting to import a...

Probably would struggle to get a rattle gun and socket onto the caliper bolts..

If you had an oxy welder you could heat the bolt up and it would come out easily.

Thats right.

A ring spanner will be easier to hold on the caliper bolt than a ratchet more than likely. Put the ring on the bolt, hold the ring spanner in position about halfway down the spanner...

If the caliper bolts are seized, these screws are going to be a bitch to remove without ruining the head on them.

I use a ratchet/breaker bar with my jack handle over the ratchet handle to get...

If you were bought the sport it prob would have been cheaper in the long run to install a K20A/K24A.

You need to remove the front fenders.

You will need a jack with something soft on it (to lift and raise the door).

With door open and jack supporting the doors weight, loosen off the hinges...

heater core bolts up to the EG no probs. No modification needed for it.

You do however need to take off the heater hoses which is a pain, especially on a 15 year old car. You will most likely need...

As mentioned above.
The DC2 front seats will fit an EG.

DA9 and DC2 are a different car... I havent tried fitting EG seats to DA9 so i wouldnt know about that one.

I see.
Stupid rules :thumbdwn:

So is this current rule making it impossible to bring EG6's in, even in a few years time?

Anyone know?

Could you get EG6's in now?

Some of them are over 15 years old now.

I got a new OEM honda ball joint for around $70 i think off memory and pressed it in at a workmates house (has a press).

He made up a special press piece for it on the laithe and we still had so...

I meant the engione would be easy enough to pull out of a written off/damaged chassis and thrown back into another. Still alot of money possibly lost as EG shells go from between 3 - 8k approx...

Well if you have a K24A in your car without engineers cert and telling your insurance company then im sure it wont be insured as its not legal.

Also, you could have an agreed value on your car....

Oh, I thought you were after the workshop manual.
