yeah I understand what your saying in the civic the motor is on the right side and the tranny is on the left but the k20 or k24 in the rsx or tsx the motor is on the left tranny on the right anyway from what I understand the 2001+ model civics are hard to do a swap in but possible best places to go for info would be www.hasport.com or www.hybrid-racing.com they have tons of info on swaps..
