thanks man, appreciate that.
i understand for other people it may be hard to visualize something that i have in my mind that may not make sense to them. so when it is all finished then everyone can have their own opinion.
Yep. I'll be waiting :)
give me a call as soon as ur kit gets in!!!1
OH NO!
im not saying that the OP is full of 5hit and stuff. i really cant wait to see the whole product, yes its good that nathan is trying to do things that most of us can only dream about (rr kit, k20a and things like that). but as curtis says, we have been waiting for so long!!!!
what is your mod list atm?
sorry nathan if u got the impression in the wrong way

just paint em black i guess....
i have no idea actually, ur idea would be good
i wanted to wrap the roof in black suede b4 but northwest custom said it will look dodgy as the pillars are grey
SUEDE!! ballerr
was only 200 aero
hey, my door frames and the bottom part of the dash is black. can kinda see it in one of my pics, i will take a better shot. i hired a company called uticolor to do this. all the door frames and all under the dash and surrounding the upper cluster in black. all up it was $150, looks stock. they use airbrush's.
get the pillars done as well tim? that would look so hot, i hate this grey interior shit LOL.
yea i see it!
looks nice, maybe if we do all black!
hmmm
yeah so long as it looks like a stock black and not too shiny or anything that's the look im after. grey.. who in their right mind chose that as our interior colour scheme wtf
HONDA OZ!!!
have u seen the JDM FD1 Interior, black, blue,beige, and all different colours!
oh and smart key!
ok, so i was cruising the spoon website today, and i saw something quite intriguing. http://www.spoonsports.us/ProductDet...e=K20+CTR+Swap can this go in the car, not that i am overly interested. and are they street legal? :S, i would honest rather real jdm k20. but i cannot seem to get specs of these engines anywhere

If you were bought the sport it prob would have been cheaper in the long run to install a K20A/K24A.Quote:

www.k20a.org is the place to be.

Forum dedicated to the model civic you own.
I remember reading a DIY on the K-series into this civic on 8thcivic.
Have a look around IF you are serious although I dont think you will be when you realise the cost of such a swap.
If your after an engine you can try wrecking yards, the honda ones. Also a few of the traders on here can get them for you. Especially JDMYard.
I assume this is a K20? because of the displacement... but why does it have 5 gears? It should have 6. Also is the gearbox included or is it engine only? Can't really tell by the info.. Seems like you're describing a car rather a engine.Quote:

to answer the question, it could be anything from a set of aftermarket foglights, to an aftermarket alarm sensor, they may even be empty
