Waiting for my fuel pump, CAI, and brake caliper to come in, and then she'll be off to the body shop to be repainted and finish up fixing the body damage I thought better left to the professionals.

I've still got this jumbled mess of wires to tape up and loom up inside the car too.

And all of my interior is still in pieces and out of the car, and will be that way until the car gets repainted... now if only I could decide on a final color to paint it.

hurray 4 progress....i guess as soon as u get ur car back from being painted u'll change ur avatar

Looks great!!! All you have to do now is take off some of those stickers on the windshield.

haha... haven't even thought about my avatar.... I'm just trying to figure out what color I want to paint it right now... can't decide between white, blue, purple... or two tone tahitian green and purple.

So many choices :uhoh:

Looks good man, i cant wait till i can post pics of my soon to be swap

Are your lights the projector halo lights? If they are, how do you like them? Do they seem brighter than the stock headlights?

Good luck with your swap! By far the hardest part I had was actually getting the engine lowered in the bay, and mounts in place.... everything else like wiring and all that good stuff was actually pretty easy!

Oh... and I'm really leaning towards this color... any opinions?

Killa_CRX - Hey you never replied to the email about telling me where to disconnect the wiring from the inside of the engine bay...remember, you were going to do that part of the harness for me and I'd agree to pay you.

No, I got rid of the halo projectors... I Didn't like they way they were assembled... they appeared way too 'cheap' to me.

As for the wiring harness... I'm not sure which email you're talking about... last email I got from you regaurds something about the intake manifold but nothing about wiring.

looks good man
keep up the good work

you should have painted it first so you can paint the engine bay too. my brother had his old civic the same green on the engine bay and blue on the outside. didnt look too good.

I'm going to do the engine bay myself in black later... is not a concern to me, now that I know what I'm doing and how to pop the engine in and out whenever I need to or want to.

Yeah man your car is coming along really nice, and those lights look real nice on your car. Keep up the good work.

i like that blue....go for the 2000 SI blue or M3 blue

Lookin' great so far, can't wait to see more!

How does it feel with the new engine?

Very sweet!! Nice progress mate.
