Before you do any of that, head to the hybrid forum, and they can probably help you out.
Sorry to hear about your car.

you don't think an eg hatch would be just as susceptible to theft? GL either way.

a poor man's type-r engine is a P72 block (gs-r/type R block), a PR3 head (b16/b18c5 head), high compression pistons, type-r cams, etc...

if this is your first swap, i'd recommend having a friend who's done a swap help you.
