It took my mechanic and a friend about 6 hours to remove the engine, wiring harness and ECU.

Unhappy

Ok so I donated my engine to crower for research and the wait begins....
So my Vic is down for a while... .. ... so I decide to take of my 4 wheels and put the car on blocks, while taking off one of my front wheels, 1 of the wheel studs breaks ........ ... .. .. .
So what do i do now????????
Oh BTW Eddie I will settle with you (your fee) soon, just as soon as I recover from spending $503 to do the shipping..

You can go buy those at honda I think they are like 7dollars. You can't really put them on though, you must take them to a machinist. You can take it back to honda and claim that they messed up but then again you can't move the car. So your best bet is to buy the studs and take it to a machinist or mechanic to put them together. Happened to me but that was because Tiresplus messed up. i took the car back and they fixed it.

Well the only updates I know now is that the wait continues...... (remember it's gonna take some time) but crower currently offers billet rods for the D17 now. I think it's like $677. for a set.

Correct me if I'm wrong folks but you will get nothin from a billet rod. It's just a stronger connecting Rod to be able to handle more Revs, boost etc.... (In other words it's just used to make a stronger bottom end)

Kezay sent his engine to crower so that they can perform R&D on a D17 and then he gets it back in 6 months fully built. Sometime after he gets it back Crower releases internals (other than rods) for the D17?

Exactly....... as Ershall said I sent my engine to crower to do R&D but I suspect that crower will release the parts as they develop them rather than release all the parts at once in late 2004... for example I think that they are starting immediately to do R&D for 5 different stages camshafts which I feel they will release as soon as their finished. And then develop the other products e.g. pistons etc... after. Please don't take my word for it this is just my suspisions

Eddie if you could add to this post (help out a fellow 7th gen answer some questions bout this project... )

why dont we all just put our money into buying big mugen and spoon sports stickers to make our car look fast... lol jk
but seriously i doubt they would do that because the money we would have to put into it to even compare to like an rsx type s would be insane plus then theres not much more we could probably do where as if we just bot a type s in the first place we could spend close to the same money and compete with s2000's

dont get me wrong id put a good 4 g's into my internals (im taking donations now lol )

I hope this is just what the other owners of previous gen civics thought and went thru. "man my engine sucks" or stuff like that, I guess all we have to do is wait.
