Yoda, toYOta and honDA. Can't wait to see some progress!
Hey all, got this on its way to my place
wat it looks like
ready for transport
V-TEC yo
Plans are to strip it out of the s2000 shell and drop it into an e7
wat ive been told about the car,
2003 s2000
60000 on the clock
shell is rusted and thats why its getting parted out
ive done about 3 months of hard research on this build and pretty much know how to go about it, but as usual u always come across problems but ill work them out as they arise.
Things i need to do:
Strip engine, gearbox, and complete loom from honda
clean engine and gearbox up, make it look nice and tidy
purchase a cleanish e7
modify crossmember to fit oil pan
decide how i want to mount it (yes i know JSP makes bolt in kits but i emailed him 2 months ago and still no repy)
there are a few different ways to mount it
make necessary modifications to body and chassis
wire it up and get it running
remove it all again
seam weld engine bay/ weld up any holes i decide i dont need/want
spray engine bay
final fitment of engine and gearbox
wire with a hidden loom as much as possible
install a fuel cell in the boot
repair rust/ damage on body of car
respray shell
Ill decide about diffs and suspension/ breaks after i get it running
Still trying to decide wat i wanna call it. nothing honda and toyota combined makes a good name that i can think of, feel free to post wat u think would be a cool nickname for the car.
thats all for now, hopefully can pick the car up wednesday or so, will post more then.
comments more then welcome

Paint it a dark olive green!
What are the suspension plans?
Moar details!!
Awesome! I love it how you have the Motor already and are still finding a car for it!
F20C swap will be so cool!
Suspension I'll worry about later down the track. I just wanna get it in the car and driving. Wat moar details do u wanna know.
Hopefully won't take to long. Once I buy nuther e7 most of my funds will be gone haha. But ive got welders I can borrow an the skill to weld and plenty of steel already to fab things up. So there's no extra cost there. Once I get the engine running in the s2000 shell (should only need to connet a battery up) I'll start pulling it out of the honda. Once I get an e7 I'll dummy fit the engine to see how much I need to mod my tunnel and fire wall. It can be done with zero modification or can cut it all out and make a new one. I'll decide that wen it comes to the time

I'm already anxious waiting for progress pics hahahaha. Will be mad!!! Please tell me it's gonna be street registered until popo catch on?
what are you doing with the crossmember?
yes i want it on the street and hopefully the popo dont catch on haha.
the crossmember needs to be cut to make room for the oil pan on the engine, once i weld plate steel in the cut area to make it complete agen it will be strong. havnt seen or heard of it breaking or not being strong enough.
