Thats why honda engines have the gearbox on the left hand side, they run the opposite way to right hand boxed engines:thumb:

Aaaah that would explain it then lol never really gave that much thought actually come to think of it!

not seen owt that different realy as spud said suzuki 1300 16v are common with the rally boys

Was there not a Nova in the projects section fitted with a CRX engine or similar a few years ago, I'm pretty sure the engine was "bolted in" and that was the end of that project.

That'd be the one mentioned I believe, I've not seen 2 or more.

Aye they do rotate anti-clockwise. Didn't a guy have a D16 running in a Nova? I'm sure he put up some crap pics then I found more and a video of it driving. :/

Gonna be interesting to see these pics. lol

Until proved otherwise, I am in the non believer corner.

is there not a cosworth powered one
