I have a vague idea of buying an auto and converting it to manual using the running gear from my car which I've just totalled.

Ok so Thursday wasn't the best day of my life. Managed to total my car on the way to work. It was wet and I got on the gas a bit too early exiting a bend. The back stepped out, car crossed to the...

Honda - I've read your excellent thread a few times - it's what inspired me to re-build this engine really. I think I'll leave the engine with the rings that are on there and see how it...

I'm hoping that as I just stripped the head and have sawn that off, once I pry the head off I'll have a lot of the bolt left to get a grip on and twist out.
