Here is the finished product,

first atempt but armrest wouldnt close,

so opted to go with the second on down in the armrest. and both are removable so not to damage the armrest at all. Wrapped the bottom one with duck tape so it would not slide around. and Lid closes with no problem and drink do not move around.

Rain all day so i worked on some small things that needed done on the car, You could turn radio on without the key in the car, was simple fix removed the radio and both power wires was run to the constant hot. Kept the memory to constant and the other to the ignition. Put the sun visors back in the car.

Personally I'd drop a b16a3 with a b18 tranny. Lighter engine and you can rebuild the motor. I have a friend with that setup in his eg it's pretty quick. It's personal preference if you want a stop light car or a highway car and b16 is stop light. Btw I like the new Rex looks better than the first one haha

Yeah the b16 is cheaper and doesn't weigh as much. And can be rebuilt enough to where it push the same horses as that engine you were looking at. I found a b16a3 motor that im planning on putting in my crx for 1400. But that's just for the motor. So for around 2000$ I would have a complete swap
