K20 swap update

I posted an update, but for some odd reason the thread topic is still buried in the thick recesses of 7thgencivic.com. Oh well here is the link if anybody doesn't feel like doing another search.

maybe we should start another thread about this topic...maybe use this one...because the other is like 20 pages long..and it takes forever to get to the newest post...

Fixed! Guess what it was? I had to uncheck the stay at the top button, even though the thread's time to stay at the top expired. This sucks! It's a bug.

For some reason the original pics in the original thread aren't there anymore. The pics are on a backup CD-R somewhere... I'll post them up sometime later tonight.

Chill dude. This thread topic got buried pretty quickly and it slipped my mind. I don't know who the fvck you are and don't owe you any favors, so please ask (or remind) politely and I will happily oblige. BTW I had to dig through a drawer of about 30 CD-R's to find these pics.

Hmm my acct. says I've ran over 30 reports and has already expired. This is BS since I ordered a 30-day unlimited acct. starting April 19. I've e-mailed them asking what's up. In the meantime, you can try asking somebody on Honda-Tech; there's almost always some guy with an open acct. who's willing to do it for you.

OK it seem you guys got me all wrong on my last post. I am not here to flame or give anybody a hard time. I just wanted htowncivicEX to know that someone was still waiting to see the pics. Thanks for going through the trouble, but I was thinking you had pictures of the engine being put in. Sorry about the misunderstanding. I just really want to see a swap. Have one on me.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG] but no driving

It's cool, don't worry about it...

I'm as eager as anybody to see the completed product... believe me, it's been about three weeks since my car's been in the shop and it kind of sucks to have to bum rides off of your friends all the time. Plus ImportBuilders is really busy and sometimes it's very hard to get a hold of them on the phone, so I usually have to try about 3-4 times a day to speak to Jeff to get an update on the progress.

Originally we thought the thing would be done by the end of next week, but it looks like it might take another week or two more. All we can do now is wait patiently. I'm sure the completed product will definitely be worth it.

Peace...
Aaron

I have thought about getting this done to my car, but I swore that I would only do it once I got my truck, so I would not have the transportation problem. I know how you feel. I wrecked my Mazda just before I got my Honda. The worst 2 months of my life. By the way I heard someone was coming out with engine mount for this swap this summer. How are you getting around it now? Are they building you new ones ro something.

ImportBuilders is just going to custom fabricate whatever we need. It's no biggie.
