Ek dash removal and adding options questions
I have a 98 civic hatch and i have access to a wrecked 2000 civic si. The car is the same color as my hatch, so i am just going to swap the entire door. I will have to get the harness I am sure for the power windows/locks/mirrors, but is there anything else I will need? Relays?
Also I wanted to swap the dash pad because it is in better shape than mine, but i had trouble getting it out last night. I removed all the apparent bolts, and i got it to move around, but it would not come out.
Another thing, i want to add cruise control, I should be able to get everything off of the si and put it into my hatch right?
Hopefully someone has done this

Re: Ek dash removal and adding options questions (4g4me)
i have added power windows, locks, mirrors, tweets, keyless, oem alarm, etc... to my 99 EK. you will need to swap over everything from behind the dash into your EK if you want to run the 99-00 climate control as it the controls are electric driven not cable driven as with your 96-98 climate control. also, if you do swap everything over you'll need a 99-00 civic engine harness and ECU.
basically you'll be converting your car to 99-00 electronics. don't swap over the doors, that's a ton of work and not worth it when you can just unbolt the regulators from inside the Si doors and put them in your EK doors. do what you want in that respect though....

To get the dash off. You will have to move the right AC tube. Plus there are screws on the right side and left side that are hard to get to.
