wow very clean swap, your gona love it trust me i know I have a question for you i noticed that your keeping ac did you need to have custom lines made, or did you mostly use RSX lines or some civic lines? or maybe a combination of both. I am curently installing ac into my swap and was wondering how yours was set up.

everyone is loving this swap, including me. im on the nuts like a squirl wanting a crunch! hahaha. i hate the anticipation! its such a b!tch aint it!!?? when you finish that swap you should bring it to reno and rape the tracks out here or maybe ill stop by sac and check it out over there since the scene is way better. anyway i cant wait to see the finished product... hopefully you'll post some video's too! GL. the progress is looking great.
Very cool stuff you've got going on there! Not many of us decide to dump that kind of money and effort into our Civics. You'll certainly have somthing special when it's done. Sure hope it turns out really friggin fast & reliable.
Two thumbs up from me for doing the job completely, and not just half-assin' it. I am looking forward to seeing videos and completed pictures.
Thanks PunkingCivic! It been too long It has been a month so far.

I'm not sure how they are going about with the AC lines. I will be stopping by the shop Monday and I will ask them. I'll post how they went about it and post some close up picks of the AC line.

Cool, when are the tracks open in Reno? I'll be hitting Sacramento Raceway about week or two after the swap depending how the car is running after the swap. I'm planning to upgrade to some higher end adjustible coilovers and swaybars and then go to Thunder Hill someday.
The anticipation is killing me also. My Ford Aerostar is now acting up. The AC went out the day after dropping of the Civic at the shop. It needs freon and its the old style AC. It's now over heating and the tie rods were going out and getting worse. Mom and Dad were nice enough to let me use there car for now.
Thanks for the positve feedback everyone. I'll post some more pic on this Monday.

Wow only a month thus far lol not to bad.. the origanal NA swap took 3 months *Granted mine came from japan* but heres my ac lines:
I think we used one off an SI, and then the one of the RSX and just extended it a little.
But all said and done this is all you see:

Blockhead...whenever you decide to go Thunderhill for HPDE, let me know. Lets give those fellas in the evo's, porsches's, and M3 a good run. Stay behind me though...my crx must lead.
I stopped by the shop today. They have the 3 inch Thrust RSx exhaust on. It bolts right up to the RSX cat...but the tip needs to be extended about 6 inches.
They have not completed the AC Lines or power steering yet. Thanks TransformedBG for the pics on the AC Lines.
Thanks everyone for support and I'll keep updating.
