I got the car back in 2001 after getting into a serious accident with my ek4 civic.
Didn't do anything major to the car the 1st few years saving up for the big stuff later on. I had a ricer stage that thankfully didn't last too long and I made mistakes along the way and wasted time and money but overall its been a fun experience.

Very very nice, one hell of a ride.

Re: (1llmatic)
 
the swap was pretty expensive at the time (July 2004). There was very little used parts at the time so i had to buy alot of things brand new from acura and honda. I honestly couldn't tell you how much i spent in total...It was very hectic since the shop was trying to get the car done for the big show that year. They completed the swap in 4 days working night and day. The big parts were:

I lucked out with the motor...I got a 2002 JDM K20a Motor for $6000CAD with only 3000km on it. Hasport mounts at the time were $1000CAD. Everything else is kinda hazy but i was dropping alot of doe expecting to spend alot. If I had to guess I think i spent over $10000 in parts alone keeping in mind i did the AT to MT conversion as well and i bought all those parts NEW from honda and acura.

Yeah the engine bay needs a good scrub...this is what happens when u drive everyday in the winter...i haven't had the time and the car will be in the shop for a while but once everything is done it will get a good cleaning.

i'm hoping to re-paint the car this winter.

this summer i have about $9000 in parts to get some more power out of it.

Going to be changing to HKS FCON PRO for management as well.

When everything is complete I will show u the final product and results.

Thanks for all the props.
