i don't know how you've seen that, because the ABS module is where the battery on the RSX is in my car. There is a empty space by the transmison on the kframe, that is more than likely where the battery is gonna go.

PBfoot, we'll be working on it saturday, so you can come by if you want sometime after 4pm

PS - i stopped by the shop this past saturday, kinda sorta helped work on the car (w/o me you guys would have NEVER gotten those plugs unplugged. lol )...but anyways. the motor is IN. as far as i can tell, all the mounts are in place and all that remains is hooking everything up and replacing some of the stupid little busted stuff like a thermostat cover.

ill leave the rest to hawk since its his car. hehe it looked GOOOOOOOD tho...cant wait to hear it start.

work got held up. But i'm hoping to finish it this week. Car is like 97% done. Just need my friends welder in the shop to mount the battery tray and finish the exhaust, and we have to make the wires for the fuse box.

trust me you will know when the car is done, we've had some time issues, and my friends shop has been quite busy, we should be working on it this saturday, and hopefully finishing it up. There is very little left to do.

yea thats about it.

She wants to start but can't, we think we narrowed it down to the Civic ECU, seems to have gotten fried durring the water incident. My friend knows a guy that has the equipment to flash the RSX ecu to work with my Civic key/immobilizer unit.

So we are hoping for good things to happen. The car is so close to being done i can smell it.

She will hopefully be alive this week, thats all i can say right now.
