Engine = Sick, real sick
Exterior Paint (minus the grill) = Nice
Body Mods = I like... (but if you wanted people to look and comment on just the engine, then those are the pics you should have posted)
Interior= I recognize the effort, but I don't see a clean flow, like having a black glove compartment surrounded by white dash (though I would imagine the glove box being difficult to replace). I am sure being a show car you aren't done, but the interior could look real nice in my opinion if you got rid of the black ( its a strong contrast from the white and bright blue, I think grey like your rims would be a better third color)
My recomendation, is take more pics of your car, specially the trunk/back seat and interior... engine is sick though

Rep Power: 0 i really feel bad how people are reacting to this car. you have to understand that 90% of the people here dont like flashy colors and huge wings and altezza lights. i totally respect the car because i understand how much time and money went into it. oh and if your engine was the stock D17, you would get totally raped lol. try to take the advice of some of the members and make your car look amazing to the eye of all people, even domestic drivers. because they are the ones who will see you in the street and rip you a new butthole.
^^ sorry, all domestic drivers will laugh at the sight of this car. would you like me to start posting in other forums?
fast? ... I doubt this car will see low 11's ... turbo k20 is probably around 4-500 hp ... a lot of domestics are 4-500 hp with boltons, depending what the car is ... with f/i 500 hp is easily attainable with almost any domestic. Put just $5k into a srt4 neon and you get 500 hp

I had know and met quite a few people that drive domestic cars some love it and some hate it. Most really like it espicially the doors. Anyways it really doesn't matter. All I care about is the motor and turbo. If I had it my way I would buy a stock 2004 civic in BLK go with the kaminari wing, gunmetal rims with machined lip, the blacked out lights, keep my hayame coil over system, and tint the windows blk. I would drop the motor in and go. WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS THING OF THAT??

Rep Power: 0 i would say thats awesome man. you can do that to your ride. think about it. it doesnt even cost that much.
repaint the interior = few bucks
remove bodykit and put on stock kit = not that much
paint car normal color = a grand maybe
get rid of wing and get OEM spoiler or m3 lip spoiler.
replace altezza's with stock tails = free
leave the rest, your rims are good and the rest is cool
being one of 7thgen's coolest members = priceless

Don't need a K20 to beat up on SRT's. Can do it with some hard work and a turbo'd SOHC D16. But to hang with modified cars, your still going to need some work. Don't think you can beat every civic out there though. You'll be suprised how many fast ones are poping up everywhere.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah I know, Next year I will be doing full motor work. Bullet proof the block and port polish and upgrade pistons,rods, seals, and gasket. Then with a lower compression ratio I will be able to run about 16-18psi at about 600whp. That is what RPM said they would be able to tune it at and prolly more. But I see probs with civics in 400whp and up. These cars arn't made to take that abuse at least not that long.

HI all, I am JoeDc5 on 2k2 civic, I have finally got to the turbo. I have completed a JDM RSX TYPE-R motor swap and it's now in the process of getting turbo charged. I handed the car to RPM in NY to do this challenging task. their website is www.rpmnyc.com. Here are some pics. Enjoy and let me know what you think. 300-350whp when completed.
