my motor took a drink with the straw called a CAI in a big puddle that didn't seem so big. Wasn't gonna put the same motor back in when i had the opertunity to make it faster so..... the rest is history as they say.

Bought the '01 Civic because the 7th gen was new and I wanted to be the first to do stuff to it. In 2002 the RSX came out and I want to be one of the first to try this new engine for a swap, so from June - November 02 Hasport and my shop (Landis Automotive) did a cooperative swap in which we helped each other during the 4 month swap period. Finally on November 11 2002 I had one of the first k20 swaps in a car. So, 2003 came along, and it was time to do something new again. Next step was to turbo it. Other k20a swap cars beat me to it, but I'm still in the top 10 I think for a turbo'd k20a swap in a car. To bad it's still not tuned . Anyways, I like to try new things and cars is my hobby. Thats why I do what I do

I did mine because I wanted to go faster, with a platform that I felt would be a better starting ground for modifications. When it was all said and done in October of 2002, I couldn't have made a better choice with the A2!

I just wanted a better platform to make modifications on.I can't wait to get my car done. I'm just waiting on a aeromotive fpr.

Whitevic, I thought you switched out your a2 for an a?

I did, I blew it up, but it was my fault though. Now I'm looking for another 01 civic to put that engine into once it get's brought back from the dead.
