Project K20a2 Civic Type S in progess (update #3 k20 is in)
well as you may or may not know, my car decided to be a submarine alittle while ago and my d17 hydro-locked. Well today i picked up the heart doner for my car. 2002 RSX Type S with 4,085 miles on it.
Big thanks to csjrishere for getting me the car and making this possible. If you need a car talk to him, trust me on this he's a great guy to deal with.
heres the reason the car was totaled (just needs alittle paint)
This was taken while driving home.
My k20a2, soon to have a home in my car
Already put the seats in and just got the car today
Yes i'm doin the 5 lug conversion
I will keep this thread updated daily with pics of our progress of the installation. Me and my friend are doin it DIY style

For me i'm doin the 5 lug conversion, so front lower control arms, spindles, entire brake assembly. master cylinder (possibly).
Extras im using are the seats (front and rear), rear sway bar (which amazingly is not bent), steering wheel (hoping to get SI bag cover and bag). Everything else i'm gonna sell.
Tell me what you don't like about yourself....

Whos doing the installation for you? I'm guessing DIY. What about the Tranny, pedals etc.. any extra parts you might need for this? Or is every part with the RSX?

Rep Power: 583 you can keep the civic exhaust, but youll need to shorten it so it fits w/ the RSX downpipe. its gotta be like 3" shorter, so its not really a big deal, but its not a bolt on sort of thing.

Thanks for your comments guys. Monday i'm goin to acura to get a key made for the RSX (guys lost it) and to get my key flashed. So the k20 should be breathing by monday, and possibly in the car by mid week
damn thats so fat, im also in the process of getting the engine swapped into my car. Full paint is complete just need to get the car from the paintshop and into my mechanics hand. Good luck on your swap man. i am also going to try to get the 5 lug conversion done...
