K20a2 EG build up, SLOW progress - lots of pics!
<FONT SIZE="5"><FONT COLOR="lightgreen">Welcome to my 95 Vx / K20a2 build thread</FONT></FONT>
About Fuster_Cluck:
I had a white GSR powered 93 CX a few years back. I did the swap with the help of forums and my father when I needed an extra hand. I changed the timing belt / water pump on my GSR motor. I've done oil changes, tranny & coolant changes, suspension changes on 92-00 Civic's, valve adjustment, and removed a couple motors. This is by far the biggest task I've ever taken on.
Started: January 02, 2007
1st drive: September 15th, 2007.
Completion: When she's at 375+whp
Major props to these 2 guys (SneezinCD5 & pipfrost Would of never made it to the 2007 ATL Nopi Nationals if it weren't for them
pipfrost: My father who took 2weeks away from work and his life at home to help me build this hatchback in 11 days from the ground up. Yes, my dad is AWESOME!!
SneezinCD5: Responsible for laying the midori green paint. Also, helped the few days before the Nationals. A lot of you know him, his work, and reputation behind it all If you don't know him (Jason) or his work....check it out > > HERE!!

Here's what I am starting with:
I took about 20 measurements of the hood to fender, fender to door, rear quarter panel to door, etc.... I want everything back the way it was before removal
Most bolts went back in the thread on the chasis and the rest will be stored like so:
It was tough at times, but I did it all myself. Well, me and buddy Jack....
