Lookin good. Swaps are fun!! Here's a tip: buy a bulk box of disposable gloves. After helping a friend swap a GSR motor into his civic, my girl wouldnt let me lay a hand on her for a week cause my fingernails were like permenantly stained. Did you go with the H23 instead of H22 because of price? Good luck with the auto/manual swap, I heard it's kinda complicated. You shoulda got that leather interior. . .the outside is already focking beautiful, and now the motors up to par also! Let me know how it goes, I'll be ditchin the F22 as soon as funds permit it. Did your car come with the OEM fogs, or did you but them on? Keep it up. .

Good luck bro. I'll be basing my options on how your swap goes. I'm thinking about going to VTEC.

Wow. Swapping motors and going to a manual?!

I'll be tuning in every night.

OutlawLude · 12-15-2001, 09:57 PM

Cool, And to think I almost got to see it the day before the old POS got yanked!!

VeeTec · 12-16-2001, 02:37 AM

Its going to be a different car one you get the swap finished!

H23Lude · 12-16-2001, 02:49 AM

damn...much props for doing to swap yourself, and especially converting auto to manual. I helped my friend convert his mustang into a manual....it wasnt fun! But the feeling of accomplishment was nice! Good luck man!

...Me too, I am waiting for my Greddy SS Headers to be shipped and my Fidanza Flywheel that I just bought from 99Prelude.
I already have my clutch, ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate & 6 Puck disc...

Edit: FYI: I am swapping in a JDM H22A, 92 Si Ludester is helping me out as with some other members of NY Prelude Tunerz..
