Something to think about??? What is going to be the future use of the car.... Road, Auto-X, DRag, Boost? Make sure the R motor is what you want...

yeah ive had a long time to think about it

i just want a moderate NA build and starting with the c5 seems the best way

i had a decent h22 phase, but i really dont like how the whole thing fits and works in the civc

cant wait

well... i just got a GSR from Hmotors... and so far ive had a few minor things that you might want to check (which might be obvious). For one... belts, make sure they arent freyed or torn (i had to replace all of mine). Also spark plug wire cover (cosmetic, but i dident get one , steve says he'll hook me up once he gets some in stock). And finaly, i would suggest looking very closely at everything to make sure its all there (my swap was missing the pully from the alternator, we destroyed the old alternator to get the pully off it, and then it dident fit, so i had to order one from the acura dealership which cost 40$ and postponed the swap for a few more days )
