i found another one!!!

for those of you who don't know.... i lost my baby last week.... and since there weren't any R's for sale here in so. cali... i was gonna do up a EK hatch and swap everything into it...

or should i buy the 98 stock R.... the only thing is... i'm going from a modded 97 ITR with JDM front end..... to stock... i hate USDM front (no offence anyone) and i don't wanna dish out 3 grand on another front....

Swap everything over to a 96-2000 Civic HB, make it a Civic Type R!

I'd even go as far as trying to fit on a JDM front-end aswell! Motor and everything! This would be very cool!

No, just swap everything over to a 96-97 Civic hatch. Don't venture into OBD II(2) territory. You don't want to do that.

But the motor itself is OBD II already so it would be easier to go that route. Besides, aren't the 96 and up civics OBDII anyways? I would try to put that JDM front end on that hatch, I've seen one and it looks better on an EK IMO.
