Re: rsx dash questions and wiring..

it's not the same chassis. it's the same platform. the dash, however, may actually bolt up, but you might get some gaps. wiring is fairly complicated unless you get the new dash harness to go with it. im not sure what other details it entails, but thats quite the project on your hands.

Re: rsx dash questions and wiring..

is it possible? Yes.

is it a crap load of work? yes?

Since its em2 might be little bit less work.

but check out this guy.

he's putting a rsx dash into a integra. Should give you an idea of how much work would be involved

Re: rsx dash questions and wiring..

i think there are like two people on here that have swapped the rsx-s dash into an em2. i remember a guy trying to get paypal donations for the wiring schematics or something.

as for the k-swap, there are tons of threads on this. xproductions could probably tell you everything you need to know.

Re: rsx dash questions and wiring..

actually the door panels are pretty similar.. reason for doing it because i havnt seen it personally for myself in a em2 second i love the way it looks and third you can beat a 500 dollar dash for 150 bucks lol..

Re: rsx dash questions and wiring..
