Not quite a first start, more of a restart.
Swapped the A-series engine for a Honda D-Series.
After 2 years and a quick bit of loom building/modification it lives again !
That will be a cracking engine in that car. They go like stink in the old EF civics never mind something with half the weight. Very very strong engine
too. I tried my best to kill mine doing track days and general abuse. The car rotted away before the engine gave up.
