    BMW E21, Honda Engine swap is a GO!!

    Honda Engine Getrag260.jpg

    I just picked up my Honda K24a2 from a 2007 TSX. Excited about this project, also have been in contact with KMiata for sourcing the adapter plate, flywheel and release bearing.
    The other things that I will have to have made is the drive line. There is a well known place in my town that makes all sorts of drivelines so I am all good there...the next thing though, is the rear differential...Was told that the R200 differential is the way to go and has the right gearing and can hold a lot of power.

    Been away from the forums because of schooling and work, will make sure to get on here as much as possible for everyone!

    I will be using the E30 Axels, hopefully. Will have to see if they fit on the different differential when I get to that point in the build. Will keep the updates regularly
