I bought my Civic back in 98 with delusions of grandeur, mostly from playing Gran Turismo so damn much. I've slowly been working torwards turning the car into (imo) a respectable ride with my blood, sweat and tears and it's almost to a point where I can sit back and say 'it's finished.'

Aside from the actual purchase of the car I've made the largest investment in it so far... and by far... I bought a JDM Type-R motor.

Steve at HMotorsOnline.com hooked me up; axles, mounts, shift linkage... the whole gamut. I'm really pleased with the purchase from him (or them?) as they initially purchased a front clip so I knew where the car had been, how many miles were (are) on it, etc.

I'll be dropping it in this weekend, I can't wait to see this beauty actually resting in my ride!!!!

Anyway I've got to post some pics, I know you guys have seen these before but with all the Honda love around here I've just got to tell my brethren.

So here goes...

Nicely Wrapped
