Hey guys, this post is pretty much pure theory, won't be done, won't be thought of being done etc.. due to costs that would be more than silly for this!
Basically i have a 54 plate Civic 1.6 Sport, picked a friend of my gf's brothers up the other week who started chirping "Is it a Type-R??" over and over, to which i sadly had to say no! Being the 15 year old little squirt he kept saying "You shoudl get a Type-R or drop a Type-R engine in here!" to which I said if I was to do either, once finance is settled i'd do the first, naturally, but it did get me thinking, just on a pure speculative note, with mine being the 1.6 5 speed, and the Type-R a 2.0 6 speed, what actual modifications would need doing aside from the obvious engine/gearbox swap? Not even sure it'd be a straight fitting swap, again, this is PURE speculation as the little git just made me wonder what you could do with a none Type-R and a rear ended written off Type-R
Again, just speculation, please no "omg, don't be stupid doing that" Just some mechanical theory is all!
