    '98 Hatch: LSV?

    Photos above are how it still looks currently- I've literally done nothing with the car since the front end rebuild, I only really have time here and there to get parts together since I'm in school. I hope to have more progress to show and tell about this winter, though.

    2002 RSX Type S K24z2 swap.

    From what I've read, the k20/k24z series are more work than the k20/k24a series to swap in. The oil filter location is different, as is the exhaust "headifold"- people usually deal with that with a head swap, as I'm not sure what the availability of headers is for your chassis and that head...

    '98 Hatch: LSV?

    '98 Hatch: LSV?

    Crashed it, lol. Hit a barrier on a 95 on ramp in the rain and bent the hell out of two wheels - it still runs and drives. Not sure if there’s any structural damage, but the car is 100% cosmetically. K swap is on hold until I can sort things out

    '98 Hatch: LSV?

    Picking up a rear disc conversion from a teggy on Friday. Gonna get cracking on that soon, hopefully. So far as the swap itself goes, there's a few ways to go about mounts- simplest is going with a k20, keeping the stock subframe, and buying the appropriate mounts. If I want more ground...

    '98 Hatch: LSV?

    New Jersey. If I was able to find a EG that wasn't beat to shit I wouldn't have this issue to deal with- '95 and older don't require inspection. I've found plenty of base model RSX partouts on FB- motor, trans, half shaft, harness, shifter, and cables for 1k or less most of the time- I think...

    '98 Hatch: LSV?

    It took me so long to find.... I'm debating LSV or taking it the K way

    '98 Hatch: LSV?

    Unmolested hatches are a rarity in my area, but one finally popped up for sale with only 100k miles and I snagged it. It's a factory manual coming from the south, so there's virtually no rust. So far as I can tell, for the money within my price range (3k for the swap), my best option is a LsV...

    Civic HX Swap

    Getting back into my swap car search, and was wondering if there's any reason to stay away from the HX trim- I remember reading something about that, but I'm not sure if I'm misremembering it. Planning to do a b-series swap with whatever car I end up getting, and there's a 5 speed '99 HX in my...

    Sold the EK- stripped it and found a rusted out floorboard. The search begins again- for a manual this time.

    Thanks for the advice. I got my uncle (mechanic) on board with this project, and he wants me to go K-series- I'm going to talk with him and get his take on what route I should go down.

    It is what it is- there was a manual out there but the title wasn't clean, and I wasn't dealing with that.

    That's fair. I'll focus on that and try not to get ahead of myself. Plenty of questions will be coming soon, haha

    So it sounds like NA isn't the way to go- cool! It also seems like shooting for 200, maybe 250hp is more reasonable. I wasn't planning to build around the stock engine, so it sounds like a b-series with a turbo is the right move then. I'll look more into it and come back when I have more...
