The main problem I have with the process is they're expecting me to submit a design to get approved, but Im not an engineer (happy to fab things, but plan wasnt to do final welding myself). When I asked engineer, they told me to talk to certifier. Talked to certifier and they want me to go to design approval. Ultimately I don't want to spend $150 to go for design approval for them to laugh me away and stop wasting their time. I have all the enthusiasm for learning, but seemingly no one who's interested to teach

Anyone gone through design approval process with lvvta/TAC? Ol' m8 Julian thinks my cars too modded and wants to put me up against the design approval, but aside from lvvta website not sending the CCM, the Internet seems pretty quiet on it.

Rack in, u joint angles aren't stuffed.... Be it a touch short. Everything rotates and doesn't bind. Tried jazz axles, too long by about 10-20mm both sides, need to trip to pap and conduct some research. Passed pictures and vid to Julian cert man, so we'll see if this is going to the metal recyclers or not soon

Fitting on factory mounts to see where they kinda land. Gearbox mount mostly fits. The mounting to the box bracket needs to be spaced up 20mm at least. Lots left on threads This bracket is reversed 180, used to point outwards, but this solution looks promising for a front mount Engine side looks half OK, needs a little clearancing with Mr hammer, might look for other options though. EG civic half size seems to fit vertically. Outlets ideally need flipping. Top needs to be to the bottom of the picture and bottom needs to be in the middle. Wondering if I can flip an alloy radiator and swap the fill neck... Hole in strut tower temp drilled so I can line up the evuk 7 shock on passenger side. Next up is steering rack, passenger knuckle and maybe drive shafts? Still keen if someone wants to come have a nosey in Wellington, I'm quite over my head here but continuing on regardless Discust below, https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/49007-sirges-1972-honda-n360/

Is there anyone in Wellington who's familiar with the cert process for engine/subframe swap (a bit more than a bolt-in affair) who can come over and point out anything I might need to do before I pay for a certifier to come. Currently the engine etc is mocked up and the idea is to get certifier in to tell me how they want it put back together, but I dont want them to turn up and point out all these dumb things I haven't thought about yet. Figured you lot are smarter and more handsome than me which might help

There's honda / type R track day at Hampton this Thursday actually. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php/?id=100092341151030 Then a Honda drag day and meet at meremere on the 11th November https://facebook.com/events/s/speed-science-honda-drag-battl/1363274627919058/

Forgot to post event link. Word on the street is all the Honda branches in lower north have been notified and are interested in coming. https://www.facebook.com/events/379790071039015/permalink/379790084372347/

Not sure how many rusty Hondas are on this page, but just getting the word out. There's probably more people here with honda generators tbh, OS generator and lawn mower convention??
