Re: CSX Type S-Civic Type R Conversion

sorry guys still haven't gotten the conversion put on yet. ran into abit of a snag with funds. the house is kinda priority right now with renovations. so all my parts are sitting in the basement collecting dust. I will actually be installing some cusco parts this weekend and will post pics. Also carbon trunk and JDM Type R spoiler end pieces are getting painted this week so i will post pics of that too.

Here are some updated pics taken from our honda meet on May 31/09:

rockin Volk RE30's 18x8.5 w/245/35/18's all the way around

hhhmmm MUGEN

Volk RE30's are my favorite.

Damn I wished I was crapping money.

Wish you best with your build.

Re: CSX Type S-Civic Type R Conversion

installed a couple interior pieces:

OEM JDM CTR Push Button Start
OEM JDM CTR Push Button Start Panel
OEM JDM CTR Hazard Button

stock buttons

install process had to make my own harness for the push start button and integrate a relay

and the final product

push start button works great, i can start the car just like stock or with the start button. I have to find out how to make it so i have to use the button all the time.

Cut yellow ignition wire = button start, no key start
Splice yellow ignition wire = button start and key start

I had the S2K push start button installed on my FG1, I T-tapped it, just in case the switch goes out.

added a couple more suspension upgrades

Cusco 3pt Rear Lower Tie Bar
Cusco 23mm Rear Sway Bar & Bushings

this is what it looks like underneath with the cover on, shitty cause nobody will see the lower tie bar after i put it on anyways

I will look into a how to make it HAVE to use the start button at ALL times. Hey quick question.. how did you make that harness so you can plug it in? This is the only thing stopping me from installing mine. Any tips can be helpful. In the meantime I will search for a wiring diagram for you.
