i just crashed my ITR... i dunno know if they're gonna total it or not... but if they give me enough money for it... i want o swap everything into a EK hatch...
i know a 96 hatch will cost me about 7 g's:
i want to swap my 97 ITR motor & tranny-
all brakes-
5 lug conversion w/rims-
rear suspension (i think the front is shot)-
interior (seats, center console, etc)-
all strut and sway bars-

i need to know quick because i make my decision tomorrow...
i need to do the math and figure out whats the best way to go

if you can... please include what i can't swap in as well

and the costs of everything!!

thanks

 

I would put all your stuff into a 92+ Civic HB. If you get a newer one like 99-200 it'll be perfect to make a Civic Type R. Most of your parts will go in. 5-bolt conversion, brakes, motor, tranny, computer, driveshafts, interior, dash, rims, centre console, etc. Then I would sell the front-end panels and stuff.

 

92-95 hatch makes it easier as far as wiring is concerned.

 

you have probably allready seen this-- but just incase, check out http://www.merritr.com
i think she has wiring diagram, but i cant remeber if its complete.. maybee she can give you some insight as shes done the swap in her car.

 

would my EK hatch be pretty damn fast? enough to take on them damn stangs?

 

Might want to stay w/ the EK's (96-99), as they are OBDII. The wiring should be much easier. Just be sure to get a CX, for minimum weight (although all of your ITR stuff is gonna pack a payload...)

 

a cx?? but i want AC in my car.. it gets hot as hell here in so cali..
