Default Si motor Swap

Im doing my first swap from a D15B2 to a D16A6.And we'll see how this goes.
Day1:

first things first get some of those extras off

Next are the axle nuts.. and the locks on them were a Bitch..Broke on on my Craftsman on it

Forgot to take pics but took off the stock springs. and there gonna stay off till i get my new APR coilovers on Wed.

next took off the axles from the tranny

Day2:
My camera was dead but i got pics from when the motor was all the way out





More To Come Later

Yesterday it rained so instead of doing my motor i went to the junk yard.
I got a rear garnish, injectors and wires to do my MPFI.


Here's the rear garnish before and after:

Today I took the head and tranny off my a6 and made sure the pistons and clutch were still good. The guy I got it from was a Ricer and didn't know **** about motors,
i mean he thought there was a bad piston and there wasn't **** wrong with it LOL. Here's some pics the head and pressure plate, which were both in great shape.






Then I put everything back together and set it under my car for now till I install it tomorrow. But here are some pics of the a6 block for all you waiting to see it.

Can't wait to do this to my CRX Hf... Just looking for a D16A6 at a decent price - you used to be able to pick them up around here for $150-$200 - now they are bringing $4-500 (or they have a rod sticking out the side).
