I get a ton of s**t about this car.....i love it, and its all that matters.

When i finaly was ready to start my project, i had one thing on my mind...K series.

Then my brother introduced to this guy Don
Don owns his own shop called RPM Systems, and does all his own in house fab work......to a point.
You can find him at J32a.com, he really knows his s**t about these J series.

Don told me that there is a new swap coming, so i listend to what he had to say. Now i never meet this guy befor, so i gave my keys over to him and started to pray.

I really wanted to do the work myself, this wireing was to far over my head.
And to top it off, this was my 1st swap.
So everything was new to me.

So, lets get to the point, i wanted to do a CTR converison to my hatch.
Then the V6 came into play, and everything went out the window.


I have to give some Very big shout out to some people who helped with this swap.

[splat]

Thanks guys.
Tell you the truth, she has been on the road a little over a year now.
Ill be posting those pic up soon.



Some upclose pic of my Skunk2 suspension.
We had to put some washers on for a little while untill my 5mm wheel spacers came in.








I know, this oil filter looks like its hanging to low, i think we might move it.

























Some pic of where the exhaust is, and where it would line up with my new Apexi N1.

We went ahead and did the shifter,first we sliced off the lip where the stock shifter poped out of, just to see where we had to cut the floor.
We thought we were going to have to cut a hole in the floor like what they do for a K swap, but the shifter fits like a H22, nice and very little room under the center console.


Test fit with 99 civic cup holders


Test fit with cover and boot.






So then we cut another hole to feed the cables through the floor to the trans.....i almost cryed.



Befor we put the shifter down we also made a plate to cover the hole where the stock shifter came from.




Shofter goes back on and bolted down, and cables feed through.




After we hooked up the cables to the tran's we went ahead to hook up the cable to the throttle body............but the cable was way way to long, so we had to custom make our bracket =)
If you can see in this pic of the befor then the after.



The befor






The after



Yes, now she can move on her own, but i still have one code to get rid of, so shes not done yet, just a small step.

After that we tested fited the Apexi N1.





Shes not hooked up yet, i have a used S2000 cat that we will use, so a little more moding will have to be done.

Pass side....note the alternator.......way to close to headlight, well....its going to be kissing it, we have to grind a little out of my CTR lights =(




Here is the driver side.....note the fan on how close my other headlight will miss it.
Way to close.




Here you see the rad next to the block....

[splat]

Here is the FAL fan next to the trans....almost giving here a kiss.




Almost giving the rad a kiss.


Relocated the stock fuel filter, we were going to run with a aftermarket one, but after some tests, we found the OEM was the best.




New tires




I know...pic sucks, but the car was traped in the back, ill get some better pic up next week.


Little test fit, i know ...i know, the hazzard switch is on the wrong side


Another bad pic, i was trying to get my CTR door pan, e-brake delete, and e-bake handle.

[splat]

As you can se the rebar of the CTR dosnt touch the rear bumprer, so if i get hit in the rear end.......its going to hurt, bad.



CTR door panels on with power windows and locks.



CTR headlights on???? just test fiting.



The exhaust is touching the bumper cover a bit, nothing a little triming cant fix, but on the plus side, the CTR lip fits nice.



Rear bumper on.



Test fiting the front end on, making sure everything fits well, and clears.





Note, the 2 screw drivers holding the front bumper cover on, just to give an idea on how she is going to look like.



Now some bad news, cash is super low, i even had to hit my farther up just to her out the door, the car will be finished by the end of this month.....just no paint, primer only.
And as you can see by one of my drawings, this is the hood we are going to run with, my friend is still hard on with a vent in front, i dont know, i just want to drive her.
