HELL YES!!! I think I wet my pants back there, Aaron is gonna have to clean his seats. That was freakin bad when the I-VTEC kicks in, it pulls you hard! Good job with the pics. We are and will always be the Elite Group that got to see and ride the Civic Type S. It was crazy.

This is super exciting, I wish more girls knew about cars because I would be such a stud for being one of the few to ever ride in the Legendary Civic

wow.. walking into import builders i felt like i was at a candy store... they had like b16's and h22 engines sitting on the floor... they had turbo b18c5's (type-r) in an integra... that place is crazy... the people working there all looked like seasoned veterans and they definitely did a good job on the swap... there was so much custom work and labor involved in the swap and they all were dedicated, i give import builders their props
i have this real urge to get an engine swap right now... haha...

You can definetly tell when VTEC kicks in. All of the sudden, its just sounds different. Gotta give out props to all the people who helped HTown put in in their also. Alot of people were doubting the validity of this actualy going in.



Damn! Props to you guys! It looks sooo unbelievable. LoL Nyce!
