YES!!

The swap process has begun! Just recently lifted out the old engine.

Right now I’m in the process to get all parts and researching and what not…

I’m in no real hurry because the car is going to stay in the garage until the end of April so right now I’m the proud driver of an old Toyota Tercel 4WD

Also thanks for all nice comments everybody!

That car is so awesome. After a swap he might be able to get in a magazine.

The needle glow is pretty natural [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I made the gauges myself on white plastic film but with the original gauges behind them so that made the numbers glow in kinda a 3d-effect (doesn’t show very clear in the pic)

The little rings that sit under the bases of the needles are removed so if not helping the glow along the needle I guess it is responsible for the ring around the base... and also the light is turned up all the way [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Yeah and tanks again, I will try to keep you informed on the swap

I am also gonna do the swap...but not till this summer when HASport comes out with their radiator, and wire harness, and latch for the hood. What are you doing about those things? More, what are you doing about the radiator, that seems like one of the bigger hurdles to overcome in the swap, since you arent waiting for the HASport one.
Cheers
Car looks great

I was thinking about using the Civic Type R radiator from the donor car. It should fit better than the RSX one. Another hurdle that not apply to me is the power steering because both the Type R and my car have electric PS so there's no hood clearance problem.
