Default F2D kits no longer available?

I've spent the past couple days looking for the kit and apparently bisimoto no longer sales them. I read a user who posted about doing this plateless but I can't seem to find much information on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently visited his site as well, I think he's been kind of ousted by the Honda crowd. Looks like he mainly works with Porsche's now.

But, Evolution Industries are the ones who made his adapters. SwapShopRacing still sells Evolution kits. They are reputable, I have dealt with them many times.

The user you are looking for is HiProfile. Go check out his build thread.

Bisimoto used his fame to jump ship, I presume he now only sells Honda stuff that he makes obscene moola on like the headers he imports from China. I have no idea how plateless F2D would go, but the biggest issue IMO would be the custom flywheel.

My info has been on plateless H2B/F2B. It can be done with simple hand tools but it a welder certainly makes it easier. Some people think it's ghetto as ****, but I think it's ghetto as **** to need your hood popped or cut. To each his own... The following thread has a lot of the info you seek.

With Evolution's adapters, there is no need to cut or pop your hood. BUT that comes with the sacrifice of a lower oil pan, and improper axle alignment. I don't think plateless looks ghetto if it's done cleanly

Thanks guys, well I guess I'll hang up the h2d idea since the kits are gone.
I was going to buy my brothers EF sedan with a blown motor and wanted to mate an F series to the transmission. Yea not sure what happened with bisimoto they don't have Honda anything anymore

It's not hard to see why he'd jump ship the instant he got contracted work from a few dozen Porsche owners. The younger Honda crowd collectively shot themselves in the foot (or is it now arrow to the knee with you kids?) by reinforcing a certain stereotype which isn't optimal for keeping a shop/vendor in business. Conversely most Porsche people treat shops/vendors in a way that's great for business.

I was actually there at the beginning of the year looking to finally pick up the adapter plate myself. I spoke with Julio and Janet, they pretty much confirmed that they are no longer catering to the Honda crowd because of all the negativity they received in recent years.

Man that sucks. I didn't like his business antics concerning his headers, but dang his other products were great. I was thinking about running a Bisi valvetrain, especially since his is the only one I've seen with nitride coated valves. Oh well.
