Htown will retune the car in Texas...Keep an eye for updates!

Thank you HtowncivicEX (owner the car), Import Builders (for making a dream come true), and all of the people there (just for being there: HtowncivicEX (Aaron), CivicHX01 (Andrew), TopFuel (Jeff), CivicSouldjaEX (Chacho), WD40 (Eric), silver02civic (Enrique), Silla, JK, AK(alex....that's me!), and the rest of you that i forgot to mention...)

Video Clips below. You will need Real Player, or the DIVX codec.
Sorry, the quality isn't great because i recorded them with my 'photo' digital camera. Resolution 320x300pixels.

To Download, Right click>>>Save Target As>>>Select Destination.

Thanks to slow2k1civic for hosting them!

By the way, estimated cost (including engine) from Import Builders for the next swap.... $10,000 or so.

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...

Not only did they estimate a $10,000 price tag, they have a 2 month waiting list before they even touch the car.

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.
