a rover is basically a 94 civic coupe's front end with a integra rear end.
i'm pretty sure the engine can be swapped BUT i'm not sure if the modified mounts for a 94 civic will work, you're just going to have to look up ROVER swaps online

yup boyz, getting there slowly, my old engine is out, and the type R has engine has arrived too... by the looks of the mounts, i think custom work is required, but while thats underway, im working on the engine itself...

I would think we should welcome his inquiries here. Before reading this I never knew of the UKDM Rover. And now I'm curious to find out how his swap goes. It should be a pretty bad a** ride when it's done.

I'm looking forward to hearing about it, too.

I'm picturing Richard Bucket driving a 200+ HP version of the Honda/Rover that appears in Keeping Up Appearances, and it's an amusing thought.
