Re: 2000 Civic SiR EM1 project- Vogue Silver
OK, after dealing with all kinds of fun stuff, my car has finally been finished at the bodyshop, and my bills are paid!
Today's update has three improvements i wish to share. First, the seats. They are from a 2001 Integra LS, and came out of a show car with virtually no use, so they are in 100% perfect condition, cost $100
Next, went in the new oem floormats, nothing to put in, but wow, they really improve the interior!
Last, a oem "leather" armrest from a 2000 model (Canadian only) Acura EL. It matches the SiR interior perfectly! enjoy.....................

News update
It's getting warmer again, and the snow melted away again, hope it stays that way, lol
I picked up a new/used ITR tranny. It is a JDM spec 1998 Integra Type R which features the famous 4.785 final drive and of coarse factory LSD.
To improve upon that, i know the 3rd gear was a little notchy in 3rd during quick shifts, so all the gears/syncro's were replaced with brand new parts, new seals, and best part, swapped in an LS 5th gear for longer hauls

Got a new timing belt into today
Here is some interesting information many people would be interested in. Honda timing belts (and many others) are made by a well known company called "Gates"
Some people may have head of both Power Enterprise, and Greddy Timing belts. These are heavy duty for performance engines which are 300% stronger than stock. Well, Gates makes them too. I found it way cheaper to buy the direct brand name and save some bucks

Honeywell makes the ones you buy from north american dealerships (made in Canada IIRC), the ones that come on the new vehicles come from japan and are made by a company who's name escapes me at the moment.

Sure, i can help with the shifter...you have 2 options:
- get "any" 94-01 Integra set of shift rods, it will bolt right into you car, no mods!!
- check out this link-http://www.superhonda.com/forum/f94/diy-integra-gsr-shifter-into-civic-176204/

Re: 2000 Civic SiR EM1 project- Vogue Silver
Ohh ya i was looking at that site. So its a straight bolt on? because the picture is showing different lengths on either side. And what would i have to do because the inside part ( bearing? i really dont kno the proper name) of the shifter isnt included since i got it off my bros type R when he switched a shifter. Would an oem EM1 one work? And did you have a problem because the cat and heat shield was in the way when you were removing the bolts?
Thanks
Thanks

^^ If you have any model of civic and want to use an integra shifter, you need to modify it like in the link
If you don't want to modify anything, buy a pair of integra shift rods
I had no issues with fitment switching over to the integra setup
