Default swap crew

if anyone remember my other thread don't hestiate to call me a hypocrite h:

But anyways, I just ordered my SiR-I B16a complete changeover with the LSD from hmo. Mounts, linkage, subharness too. Any testimonials as to the difficultly of the swap, experiences, common problems, how much more fun it is? . I need to call up the Acura dealer tommorow which is like and hour and a half away, to get the other little things I need.

I swapped a b16a into a gen2 teg, did a auto to manual conversion. It was pretty easy with the help of my friends. It took us a whole 4 months :chuckles:

I've swapped a SIR-II B16A into a 98 Civic coupe. Wasn't that hard.

It's not that hard, really. Just make sure you wire everything correctly, and you have some mechanical skills.

Yeah ED9 = USDM CRX Si I have an 88.

I just found out I need new front UCA's now that my balljoints are gone.
$300, there goes my tight budget.

I'm glad most people don't tell me it's so hard.
I have a real garage at my disposal too which is nice.
I just hope third doesn't grind, the guy warned me when i opted for the LSD it's more likely it's been beaten on. I also hope the clutch is good, I don't have enough to replace it.
