Default Not Your Average EK Climate Control Swap ...

I recently converted the climate control in my 97 Civic to an Acura 1.6 EL climate control. It was a direct fit, and for the most part plug and play. I did have to trim the vents, and had to re-pin the defroster plug. I have yet to wire up the clock, but it will be tapped into the radio harness once I get a new radio (one in there won't play cd's )







So yeah, I'm excited because I've been waiting on this for a while. Just thought I'd share.

Looks really good. I'm guessing these are a hard find.

I paid $150 shipped for TWO climate controls with all the parts and plugs. One is for a friend.

I paid $170 shipped for the lower DIN and shifter console, but shipping was like $70 of that. It came from Ontario and the box was quite large.
