I"m pretty sure the SW designator was for the Integra SJ chassis. I believe I saw some of that info while looking at those overpriced lighted column lights, which also come from the same car NOT the civic.

Thanks for the confirmation Mallard 
EDIT: doesnt the Integra SJ have an Ek chassis? Integra SJ share the same front with Orthia?

Yep. I agree. That front end is horrid. Complete Isuzu styling, later to be ripped off by Hyundai. What else did you expect the Chinese to do? lmao.

The rear is same as civic for 96-98 and 99-00, but all years come in red/white lens which is highly sought after by most civic owners because it's the real OEM Stanley tails. These Integra SJ also have different rear bumper, without corner mouldings, basically it's a USDM 96-98 bumper for the Integra SJ all years from 96-00.

99-00:

How I spent my weeknights this week:
Wednesday, 6pm:
The bad that I knew of:
7pm, no good news when I opened it up, but nothing that can't be fixed:
8pm:
Dropped the block off at the machine shop on Thursday, waiting to here the post-hone verdict on if I need to bore or not. Spent the evening cleaning stuff. Got the pistons and whatnot lookin real good:
Head is pretty much screwed. Its saveable but by the time I buy new valve guides and do all the work, I might as well find another and freshen it up. I'll still end up with a basically brand new motor for less than I would have spent on a used import or crv motor. Feels good to ttear into one, its been a while.

Sup guys and gals. I haven't posted in a while, finally turbo'd my car! Still need to run coolant lines and a tune but drives fine so far, no leaks yet.
Of course my phone broke during the process, I'll have DSLR pics up tomorrw
