I'm a great reader.
I have a question. When you swap motors, will you be painting your bay also? Or leaving it black?

The screws are metric Size 8 I believe, and I found washers that fit it perfect (The box says Size 12)..and as for the lip..I'm not sure.The only people that I know that makes copies of my lip is seibon, and it comes in CF or Fiberglass.

I'm so proud of you. lol
I think I might just leave the bay black,for now.I like black cause it hides alot..well, that only applies under the hood.

Re: (xtoplinex)
New update!
I'm starting to work on the swap thanks to my 2 friends.And so far we pretty much disconnected everything..and the motor is ready to fall out,So hopefully we'll finish the rest of the swap on Thursday cause I going to be really busy this week..so hopefully things go well.
I also bought a new Dual-Bend S2 Short Shifter...cause those long throws are killing me.
And since I'm not going to be driving my civic around, I decided to ride around in my Weekend warrior.ohhhh sparkle, sparkle
I'm going to be dropping her 1" more sometime next week..

If you're going to leave it black. At least put a crazy *** pearl in it, so it doesn't look so stockish. Just my $00.02.

Re: (xtoplinex)
Got all the pictures fixed!!!
Well, I can't put in the motor in today.. but I managed to get me a stock B16 header for the low right now (I'm going to be getting either a ITR,Vibrant, or TODA Header in the near future.)..and painted that in high temp header paint (lets see how long that last) And I also decided to paint the whole block including the tranny in high temp silver paint...And I must say,I'm very happy with the results...I know the GSR Valve cover looks gross..But I'm going to be getting a B16 Valve cover in wrinkle red, and with the moon cut already. So here is how everything turned out.

Thank you sir! The gabs are doin' the job.
Ohhh and I forgot to mention.... It's working again now.
While the motor was out I decided to put on a new AEM Fuel rail with a AEM fuel pressure regulator (Cause the motor didn't come with the stock one.) So now it's adjustable at least. Ohh and yeah, I'll be painting the VC ASAP!!
(Here is some crappy night pictures I'll be posting up some better ones 2morrow.)
At the moment my exhaust sounds like PURE CRAP!!! It's waaaayyy too loud for my likings...So I'll be passing by the muffler shop to add a resonator or something..I'll keep you guys posted.
