Default A few lame shots, my first honda, my first swap(ej1)

Hey H-T.
So I picked up the motor late last week. I got a good start at things on the weekend and pulled the old well worked D series. Dropped the new heart in the same day.
The wiring was the biggest challenge which is the usual case, but it all went pretty smoothly. Started right up first try, and its not throwing any codes just yet
Its a 99\00 jdm B18C-R, GSR Trans with optional LSD, and the JDM optional 4-1 header,2.5 collector
I didn't get to many shots of the old coming out, or new going in, I was to excited to slow my work, but heres a few shots. some better ones coming soon enough.

Updated:
I went and got my exhaust done the Monday after all the work happened. I'm running a 2.5 magnaflow cat(for now), ITR midpipe, and a Midas $79 special straight through design 2.25'', "performance" muffler according to the box, and the Midas mech. lol(he was trying to sell me the 4 inch fart can the whole time though)
it looks stock and it got the flat black treatment. I'm really happy with it, its nice and quiet at cruising, normal driving speeds, WOT and anywhere in vtec it sounds loud enough, and has a nice throaty sound that i am enjoying. nothing over the top though and low key.
As well i just had a filter stuck on the TB because i had nothing else to fit for the first week or so. A couple days ago the AEM cai for an ITR that i got at a good price showed up, so i was bored and got a few more shots.

Big thanks again to the guys at TEKNOTIK (eric and nick)for hookin' me up and being so helpful. THANKS GUYS!

Update 2: I made a quick video, its mostly a compilation of all the better pictures taken over the last few months before the Canadian winter showed up. Amongst the pictures there is a small cluster shot clip, its nothing really spectacular but something to keep me occupied while she hibernates.

The dirty muff
