hey whats up? ive had my hatch for about 4 months and im dying to swap it already. How long did you go with your stock motor and what did you swap in? im 16 and funds for a swap arent exactly that high so im either going with the JDM D15B VTEC or an LS motor. how long did it take you to get your motor?

I ordered the motor 2 months after buying my hatch. I didn't swap it until 2 months after receiving the motor.

Why'd you wait so long to swap if you already had the motor?

WOW you drove on the stock CX motor for 9 years?! I've had my CX for 1 month and I've only driven it twice - once taking it home from the shippers and the second time getting the VIN confirmed at the DMV and I can't wait till I swap it.

i drove my hatch for one day before i put in my first gsr...the only reason i bought the car was to put the motor in it.

2 years, mini me was swapped before i swapped to b series though. head gasket and tranny went. so i bought a wrecked usdm gsr the same year as my civic for $3200 and swapped everything down to interior and brakes and suspension.

i jus picked one up this tuesday, and i might swap it this upcoming weekend. the stock vx motor is too slow for me and i hate the look of that intake manifold its so puny.

I did mine a little backwards. I bought an ITR swap and was gonna put it in my 2000 si but then thought about it and went hatch hunting.

I had a 95 Si at the age of 16. It got stolen all stock two months after I bought it.I the had my Del Sol Si for two years before I got tired of it. Every bolt on and even some headwork Sold that and bought a rolling chassis hatch. I put a 99 USDM B20B4 w/ a 00 JDM ITR tranny in it two weeks after the chassis was bought. Got it registered and rolling on the July 5th, 2003. And I'm 18 and a freshman in college.

ALL THE CARS AND MODS WERE BOUGHT AND DONE BY MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

MissLady

I had my car for about a year, but never really worked on it. I started working on it around 4 months ago and getting ready to do a swap

silverEH2

i drove my cx hatch for 6 monthes and did a d16z6 swap, i was very happy with the motor

allmtr

i just put rims and springs on my car as soon as i got it. then i just saved up for a b16. took me about 6 months before i put it in
