I've finally got my Type-R motor!
I bought my Civic back in 98 with delusions of grandeur, mostly from playing Gran Turismo so damn much. I've slowly been working torwards turning the car into (imo) a respectable ride with my blood, sweat and tears and it's almost to a point where I can sit back and say 'it's finished.'
Aside from the actual purchase of the car I've made the largest investment in it so far... and by far... I bought a JDM Type-R motor.
Steve at HMotorsOnline.com hooked me up; axles, mounts, shift linkage... the whole gamut. I'm really pleased with the purchase from him (or them?) as they initially purchased a front clip so I knew where the car had been, how many miles were (are) on it, etc.
I'll be dropping it in this weekend, I can't wait to see this beauty actually resting in my ride!!!!
Anyway I've got to post some pics, I know you guys have seen these before but with all the Honda love around here I've just got to tell my brethren.
So here goes...

Pics of the car...
I guess it's the aliasing from the resizing of the original pic but my rims look like **** in this last pic.
I'm going to try to do some time lapse movies of us installing the motor this weekend. I'll have more pictures up afterwards.

in the first pic it looks like a scary animal is about to emerge from its cocoon.
