Got rid of the dated *** head unit that was in the lower audio console, and got a super clean modern unit with customizable back lighting which I've set dead on with my climate controls. Component speakers hidden by OEM panels and even the old AR tweeter grills we're retained. New rear quarter speakers. Custom fitting of OEM block off and storage pocket in lower audio console too.

Next phase will be an amp for the components and to drive a small sub to finish it all off.




Pic makes the head unit lighting look slightly crisper than climate control, but it's not to the eye.

Today I got the car to crank but not start. Started a thread to diagnose the no start challenge.

Yesterday I installed the front sway bar into the Hatchback (DX) before finishing up the under car work of the swap (exhaust header, axles, rear mount, auto shift cable etc). I can't remember if I originally pulled the sway bar from an SI or one of the 94-97 Acura's (think it was an Si hatch). Been holding it for some time. Got the rear sway bar but need a bolt on muffler that has provisions for the rear bar. I think only JDM hatches had rear sways, so none of the USDM exhausts ever plan for it.

Oh right, I think that was true for Canada too. Thanks for that. It's these little details one can easily forget.

Europe had rear sway bar on EG6 and EK4,EK9 model. So it's not only JDM.

Good to know, still doesn't help USDM markets on after market exhaust support. At least stock exhaust in USDM markets accommodates the foreign provided sway bar.

If exhaust is your problem for not having/mounting rear sway bar... I don't know what to say, you don't know what you are missing.

All oem exhaust should clear the factory swaybar though. Even the 13mm rear integra swaybar fit with the old school tanabe exhaust on the eg hb.

Every time I checked the rear sway fitment is was with an aftermarket 2.5" exhaust as I had already swapped to stainless steel, high flow cat and a fart can. My wifes car however is pretty much stock, not sure on the muffler though, I will have to check it.

I had the eg hatchback exhaust on my dc2 integra no issues with the rear swaybar. Seems strange you're having issues.

Yeah don't have the car anymore but it's because they didn't straight pipe it to muffler after control arm, instead they do a U to go over and then goto the muffler. so exhaust goes towards the control arm, bends up to go over the control arm then bends back down to about the same position it was in before control arm to enter the muffler.

I think stock exhaust stays up and straight over the control arm into the top side of the baffled muffler, then the exit of the muffler is the middle of the muffler.

You can see how it bends back down on the muffler at Yonaka's sight for the hatchback exhaust:
