What gear box could you possibley use to make sure you dont have 5 reverse gears SR20s come on in FWD primeras too, there is heaps of stuff! Lol, not quite zep. They're mounted backwards. Normally motors are mounted east/west (number 1 cylinder on the left looking at it from the front), hondas mount them west/east - so your number 1 cylinder is on the right.

It isn't just Honda who do that Muzz. Mitsubishis before pre 96 generally did too. My Galant and Sigma were mounted so the cam belt was on the right hand side of the engine bay - so was your old Diamante. They made the switch to the other side around in the 96 onwards shape cars - ie 95 Diamante, 96 Galant/Legnum, 96 Mirage/Lancer. The FTO switched in 1994 though, yet the GTO still has it on the other side like originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
