    I would want to get a kit to fit into an EP2 (same parts as in EU), own an EU8 myself with D16V1. Will there be kits for that kind of swap aswell? Planning to own the car for some time, thinking with the idea of K20C1 in it.. It would have the same issue with the relay box... wonder how I could get the driveshafts and suspension + brakes from the new one to fit.. Not to mention the ECU. Would love the idea of old meets new.
