I'm about to purchase a parts car(1999 auto 1.6L) to help revert my current car into a stock daily driver.
I have a heavily modified 2002 LX-T [2.0L and 5-speed transmission].
All of the parts on my car (engine, trans, turbo, suspension) are going into my 1999 roll caged chassis (which used to have a 1.6L manual).
All of the parts from the parts car are going into my daily.
So, in the end, I'll have a race car (with my 2.0L engine + 5-speed trans + turbo kit + trans) and a stock 2002 1.6L protege DD.
My questions are :
-Does anyone know if the sub-frames are the same between the chassis'?
-Are there any major differences in the suspension of both years (a-arms strut towers, etc)?
-Anything else that may prevent me from swapping a 1.6L into my 2.0L chassis?
