Today is the day that the project starts. Parked the 95 Civic Coupe in the garage lifted it up and removed wheels, front and rear bumper, side skirts, and hood.
Didn't have the cash for the B18C so ordered the B16A2.
It's not coming off the rack till everything is done. Don't think it will touch pavement till next spring.
Need to do the swap, get the turbo, intercooler, cam, rear disc brakes, suspension all swapped over to new stuff. Only thing I am stuck on is what to do about the body. Don't want to rice it out with some kit but I want it to look clean. Removing the door guard strips from the doors, fenders, and rear quarter panels and fillin the gap and smoothing it over. Don't know if I am going to a carbon fiber hood or a fiberglass hood yet either.
In the end the color will be a light light grey, all grill vents will be black, riding on some gunmetal wheels and black interior.
