Rep Power: 0 if you're going drag setup, no need for the abs, powersteering or a/c... if you're going touring or roadracing then abs and powersteering is a must.... i wish i had abs...
hasport doesnt have all the parts listed that you need. Believe me, those missing parts set my project back by quite a few weeks. Its just a bunch of little stuff, like there is this little fitting that the RSX-S clutch line screws onto that goes into your clutch master cylinder...the civic fitting is 12mm, the RSX-S one is 10mm. You will need that fitting. Yea, its like that throughout the entire swap. Or, you can just buy my wrecked car, and not have to worry about all those little things cause its all there on my car. Plus TEIN coilovers, rims tires, headlights, grill, short shifter, and so on.
Good aftermarket stuff to buy before the swap is started, is tranny stuff. Everything else you can get to, it will be tight to get to some things, but not as bad as the tranny.

From what i hear (since i dont have the car), all the aftermarket stuff on my car is still in near perfect condition. The only exceptions to that is the rear passenger rim now has some scratches on it, and the rear passenger tire has a hole in it. All the other tires were put on the friday before the accident though. The TEINs, rear lower DC tie bar, rims and tires (for the most part), TYC Black Projectors, Altezza Grill (which isnt painted), short shifter, pedels, shift ****, and the entire motor swap are still in perfect condition. You would be buying about $10,000 worth of aftermarket upgrades, and a car that you can use for extra parts.
The car itself is totalled. The rear passenger side was hit pretty hard, which in turn tweaked the entire car just enough to total it out. Since our cars are a uni-body design...trying to fix it would be pointless.
the person that buys this car could have his new motor in his car and running within a weekend. Its all just pull, and plug in. The wire harness is already modified, the axles are new, everything to get the motor swap done is there...no little suprises.

...no.
You want to give me 5 grand for 10 grand worth of aftermarket parts alone, on a car thats worth $2800? You want to give me less than half what the car is worth? Again i say, no.
This isnt like buying a wrecked RSX-S. Cause with buying a RSX-S you would still have to spend over $2000 to put that motor in your car...thats not counting labor charges. There is no guess work with what you will be buying. This is a working RSX-S motor swap...all the parts are there to make it work in a 7th gen civic. Nothing would have to be bought.

Rep Power: 0 im doing the k20 swap rignt now my car is in 100 differnt pieces down stairs i just need to know how to do the wires on the o2 sensors on my k20 someone help me with the wiring asap thats all i need
do what i did...goto Honda and get the wire diagrams for your civic...then goto Acura, and get teh wire diagrams from the RSX...then compare them, and see what has to be modified.
Its not that hard, you just have to think about it for a little bit.
You should be able to get the copies of the diagrams for free.

Rep Power: 375 ^^^^^^^^^^Question for you, what year RSX did the motor come out of? Cause if it was a 2002, those that have a 2003 civic would not be able to legally able to install your motor into their civic. Just a heads up.
I got my keys done for free from my local Honda dealership.
The RSX-S motor i have came from a 2002. Which, you are right, would be a problem if someone has a 2003 civic in california...in other states i dont think it matters. Atleast it didnt with all my other friends in Texas.
Plus, there are always ways around getting it smog'd...but we cant talk about that here.
