I got my EG6 front cut from Justjap 2 years ago. It came with everything and all the panels and brakes and the engine was in really good condition. I've had my car for 2 years now and havent had a single problem at all. I definately recommend them. Some of my friends got them from other places and ended up with stuffed up gearbox and the other one ended up with engine light turning on all the time.

fark, b18c for 6.5k and gearbox for 1.5k, so all up a conversion will cost u around 9k. thats farked.

hmm im not so sure about honbits their quite pricey.i called up about a week or 2 ago enquiring about a b16a2 halfcut and was told 3800.. so i asked is this installed? ahaha answer no so yea $3800 4 a b16a2 halfcut personally i think this is quite dear

has any of these traders (or any at all) given you a definitive price on full conversion for any full b series engines? if so, what price?

**spothe** · 20-10-2005 04:04 PM

hey so when u get a replacement engine, what happens to the odometer???

do you add the K's that the replacement engine has with the K's that you already done or do you only take the K's that the engine did?

**barefootbonzai** · 20-10-2005 05:05 PM

never trust the odometer

When you fit a new engine, the odometer stays the same. An odometer is an indication of how far the CAR has travelled, not the engine. If I fit a brand new engine from Honda, I doubt the RTA or anyone would believe the car has travelled 0,000,000Km's. I have heard that the NSW RTA logs how many Km's is on your Pink Slip Odometer reading, to stop people winding back the clock / vehicle re-birthing.

If you get a front cut, you can be pretty sure of how many Km's the new motor has travelled (Except for the boat trip to Australia, LOL)
