I have a 83 civic that I'm swaping a k24 in. I'm puting the dash out of the rsx in it. The car will be wired with the hole rsx harness. I've had the engine in the car I had to notch the frame rail on driver side and now the engine fits good just gata make mounts and axils now and wire it shood be a fun toy win its done

what kind of suspension are you running?

 

I just got some eBay coil overs for a accord under it. they don't really make any aftermarket stuff for this car as I no of. I'd like to find a disk brake conversion for the rear if any body nose what parts to use

 

Cool project! That will be a very fun toy. Any plans for the shifter cables? Are you getting custom axles made? Is the rsx dash going to follow the straight body interior of your Civic? My input would be to forget the Rsx dash, maybe just use the instrument cluster and keep the factory Civic dash.

 

It actually looks prity good in there I had to cut 3in off the passenger side and a lot off the front but fits good now I'll post a pic the shifter will fit back in the console and the cables will go out the old shifter hole axils I'm gana take from both cars cut and weld a pice of pipe over them till I git it running and all the kinks worked out then I'll send them off and have a set made

I'm pretty darn sure GAB and Tein atually made coilover for this civic back in the 80s, and I saw them selling on JP Yahoo Auction.

Looks like it should be a good build. Subscribed. GL on the project.

 

YouTube all your videos because I will be subscribing!!

 

 

This has to be one of theee best builds ive seen. Love old school and the K, priceless! Get it done and post pics!

 

deadly car at its ages and a k24 nice fair play, cant beat old school.

 

^ I agree with his advice. I think it would take away from the "classic" aspect of you build. Either way this thing would be scary fast... resto-mods ftw.

 

Cool project!~
