Hi, i just got my hands on a crusty, worn yet rust free 4th gen civic GL twin carb for only £200.

Im looking to rebuild the tired d14a1 yet it seems impossible to find a kit with new seals, bearings, pistons and rings. anyone know where to find one?

it might seem mad not to just put a b16 in it but I havent passed my test yet and insurance will be horrific as it is. Also new drivers and fast unsafe cars dont mix so id want a halfcage and CRX brakes first.

Cheers for the link, i think ill just stick a d16 in it and jet out the carbs.
Also i have come accross an insurance company that should be afffordable with mods, a friend has a engine swapped metro with a whole heap of other mods insured for £600 a year. I worry about all the dopey tossers in two tonne 4x4s on thier phone, it wouldnt take allot in that car to get killed so im going to fit a cage anyway, only £250 for a saftey devices one with door bars.
