Default RSX dash conversion....

i was reading through the latest honda tuning mag, and saw a EG hatch with an rsx dash conversion including the center console. has anyone thought about this before? it said it took him 2 and a half months to complete, but man did it look nice. i think itd be a fun project, but i cant have so much downtime for my ride :/.

Anythings possible all depends on time , money and patience. Ive seen DC integra dash's swapped in before ( its all custom and time consuming but it can be done )

personally i wouldnt want it because the dash sits so far back,im sure with your seat in the back position you would be able to lick the dash board.

The rsx dash fits great in an EF. There was a big thread about 6 months ago with someone who had done it, looked great.

Some guy with a red hatch had it, he was the first ED I ever seen with a K motor.

Other than it being a little misproportioned, that looks very nice. I'd rather have the K20 though

It's on the other side of the motor by the firewall.
You are looking at the intake in the front.
K motors are 'backwards'.

Well i'll tell u what. Dropping that motor in a 88-91 4 door civic with a rice muffler and screw on wood wing would be the best sleeper in the world. Theres a guy around here some mexican dude that has an 93 hatch with all tinted windows, no mirrors, no license plates, and a rx7 single Big turbo in it and he does burouts going 80mph with 18's. rear wheel civic, oh yes.
