Well update this thread if you get a chance and let us know how it's going. I have a 95 Civic Coupe myself but I am holding off on the K swap for it due to smog related issues here in Cali.

I'll just build up my B-series to whup on K's anyway! hehe!

Hella good job on the rebuild. Congrats! I like green rims on the NHBP but I think I would have gone a different direction on style.

Looking good, I'm always amazed at resurrections like this. Bodywork scares me.

Is that a K24? Or just a K20 from an RSX?

That is looking good, keep the thread alive with updates like these!

Wow, you are not messing around! I do have a question for you concerning the A/C system, gauges etc. Are you going to incorporate A/C into your swap or not?

Have you run into any problems so far with this swap? Did you have to alter anything on the frame?

thanks, yea iam try to be done soon cuz i love my fit and miss driving it, not gona be running ac rite now, i have most parts needed to run ac, just not gona mess with it till it warms up, hasport making my harness, and if you stay drive by wire then you get to keep ur stock gauges , ive had to notch the frame rail for tranny to clear, but it was reinforced so no big deal there, just timely cuz this is first time ive messed with the fit chasis and just trying to make everything as functional as possible, ill be droping it off this weekend to have custom header and 3 inch exhaust made with cat and muffler so it will pass inspection, kpro should be here first of next week so wont be too much longer, there an event in myrtel beach sc called winter cruise at end of feb, my goal is to have it at that event and should be running in 2- 3 weeks so gives me 2-3 weeks to workout whatever small details are left
