I didn't see axles in your list. Do you have a cat, the length from the header back is different for gsr and civic. If you are making custom then no problem. It's really a straight forward swap. As if you were taking out your old motor and putting it back in. With different axels, computer, and a wire or two for vtec.

you will need the GSR axles. I'm pretty sure you will also need the gsr shift rods.
