Okay, I'm pretty close to getting my eg shell and need some info.....I've got someone to do the install, but I still need to find a reliable, low km motor to throw in.....preferably a b16b, b18c, or h22.......Now, I've heard some bad things about lucky star and some other random shops......can anyone shed some light on this subject?

Thanks.

Thanks for the link Supershyguy......unfortunately, they don't mention which engines they carry on their website....

Shlammed, I did a search but didn't really come up with much......just wondering where you people got your engines from??

I've tried searching and it takes forever to weed through it all just for one shop name. I think a lot of the places may not have websites with inventory and prices. Check the phonebook / yellow pages and do some calling around.

Lucky star...Tiger...etc etc...

see if you can get a compression test done before you buy the engine.

I got my sohc ZC from luckystar. I had no problems with the engine.

Where did you find your shell man? I'm looking for the same thing right now, EG hatch.

imported_zc_hatch

big japanese...is that the place off finch? if so i hope you aren't having any problems because one time i went there and saw one of the guys crash a forklift into a bunch of motors.

imported_zc_hatch

yeah the only prob i have is a bad bearing in the alternator...
works good other than that

I found it in my buildings parking lot.......hasn't been driven in about 3 years......not too sure about the year, as the lady and I really haven't gotten into any details yet, but it's an eg coupe, dx, with 81,000km's on it... All original, and I'm pretty sure she was the only owner, so you know she didn't beat the **** out of it......

Thanks for all the info to those who chimed in.......the search still continues.
