try to source an unmodified engine harness off ebay or the dealership. even if you pay a lot for it, you're still making out on a cheap k-series. you could part out the body panels from the rsx to help cover the cost.

i would part out the RSX for all its worth, minus the engine and tranny, and use the money to get untouched wiring and mounts etc to do the swap in your civic.

Agreed. An unmodifided, or unbroken harness is the way to go. Other have completely rebuilt their harness, but they have a lot of time on their hands. When your done with your swap, something will probably be wrong because you missed 1 16 gauge wire.....good luck tearing it all down and finding it.

I would contact Rywire or Hybrid Racing. They have the best customer service hand down.

There really isn't all that much you can use from the rsx into the civic. It will still all have to be custom.

I think it would be cool to fix the rsx since its the only one around there.
