after seeing the swap that hondawerx did, I'm pretty anxious to see more people prove how much potential our cars have...........possibly even doing a similar swap, but with a different engine(still researching to see if it would work)

so far


Engine from JDMHONDAPARTS.com -> 6500 + shipping
swap package from hondawerx -> he haven't got back to me
HA Engine Mount -> 650 + shipping
Installation labor -> unknow
Five silver JDM Type-R rims -> 2250 + shipping
Integra Type-R Suspension -> unknow
othershit i missed -> unknow

within the next couple weeks, i will be checking with some shops in sarasota, there is an A-Z (formally the Z shop) gonna see how much they charge.. we'll see

first of all, i don't have the skills for that

second, i think it will take more than a week, since i can't really get all the parts to arrive in sync all on time

third, i DO have a job i need to go to... i guess it could be a possibility for the summer, but then i also have school

NEW WAY AUTO over here in Cocoa.

Talk to Junior. He has already done the swap. He does all kinds of swaps you wouldn't think of. He averages 2 swaps a week almost. This is where I get all my parts. He is the one who is going to be doing my type r swap. He can get the whole front end of a rsx type r for 6500. I mean the hubs, tranny, motor, axels, ecu, fenders, and everything. Almost as if they cut the front of the car. It will take him a week or two. I can't wait.


Later, Phil

Importgal,

Obviously you havn't seen my car. There is a shop in Cocoa that has already done the swap. There are the ones who helped me out with my turbo setup. Are you from Orlando or Melbourne? Have you seen me around. A purple civic.

C-way, do what you think is best, I was just tryng to help.


Later, Phil

Dude, no one has seen your car since the Hondaland show a year ago, only what you tell us about it.
Come one let it out man.
What? Did you swap a Civic to FORD (Fix Or Repair Daily) [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
You are going to miss Spring Brake if you didn't register ahead of time.
But we are going to meet in Daytona prior to it.
I'm looking forward to see your car.

C-way you better not be hosing us, cause you are always complaining about not having any money and your paint guns take all your income.

wasn't trying to, i really had plans for it, i am getting all the prices and input from others, all i need is that personal loan. my parents are against me taking out the loan right now, i am going to let it settle for a couple months (still gotta pay for the paintball gun) and i'll try and talk to them again. regardless they want me to or not, i am getting that frickin' loan for the swap
