So I'm going to write a post when I'm done with my swap letting you know all the things noone tells you...or what the companies you buy from dont tell you. Here are some examples for now.

HCP's holes were off by a 1/2 inch...was I suprised...no.


Nowhere in the instructions does it say I need to swap my 95 engine bracket to a 90-93 teg bracket, the mount still needed washers to work after i swapped...


Its not that the HCP mounts dont work...they just are designed badly.

Oh..I dont have a picture, but if you get an engine that had an automatic tranny, the bolts that will hold the flywheel on will be to short...order these ahead of time.

Thanks to Al (torteX) for the help this weekend also...

I had to do the washer trick on my HCPs too...called George and he didnt know why. Also we had to do the same thing on SUMOrex's CRX too, same mounts, same motor. The rear mount is a bit off too on sumorex's too, mine i dont remember having to modify it, but his we had to modify about a 1/2" to the right(looking down at the mount on the subframe), which i think is the same thing u had to do.

I found out that the metal sleeves in the bushings are a little wider than the civic mount bolts.
