awesome! i am going to copy you on your motor swap process... taking out each bolt and putting the same bolts that go to that part in a ziplock bag and labeling the bag... that way i dont lose any bolts, lol.

Well, I think the headache is finally over. While down in Savannah (yesterday / 1 day) I stopped by a muffler shop who had just what I needed :goodjob:

Plenty of clearance for the 3" piping:

I'm going to clean her up nicely:

Shop also gave me the donut gasket. It's not quite wide enough to fit over the DTR flange. I'm going to see if Summit has one that will clear the flange. If not, I'll dremel this one out to make it work:

Without the donut gasket:

Ahhhhhhh, that looks nice:

Hand tightened, YES!!! The 2 spring bolts I have on hand will work :bump:

Got to get new nuts though:

This is with the flange pushed all the way to bottom. Once centered the gap is gone:

These are the springs / bolts I used. Not sure if they are from a D or B series. But, they should do the job:

Now I've got to find a day when I can get this installed, then stop for an alignment, emissions...... then I'll be ready to take on the S/C TSX :yes:
Thanks for looking & up we go :police:

He eventually notices me behind him and down shifts (smoke came from the exhaust as he switched to the far left lane taking off). I also down shifted and just rode his a$$ because there were cars in the other 2 lanes. I couldn't even give it 100% or I would of smacked his rearend. He eventually saw he couldn't leave me and pulled back to the middle lane. I then cruised by as he had a :) on his face. My :) was X10 bigger. Unfortunately I had to get off the exit for the alignment so never got to get side by side. Here is the one pic I snapped of the GT:

Then I made it to the alignment shop and snapped a few pics:

A couple pics I snapped yesterday and used a free online photo editing site to enhance them. May have enhanced the brick wall one a little too much :taun:

Ran the DA w/GSR/Type R head yesterday. Got a few runs on video, but I can't find the camcorder cable or software :gay: So, I ordered a new cable and hopefully will be able to upload the vid using windows movie maker.
Thanks for looking & stay tuned for a lot more to come :police:
dam that mugen si, looks like it has all type of goodies on it... looks better in person..
u think its worth the price now that you have seen it in person?
That mugen civic is sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxy! I didn't know they had released yet. :thinking:
Wow that was amazing. I just spent like 2 hours reading all this. Awsome job on everything and paying attention to detail. even the little things make a big difference. K swap in the EG FTW
that has to be the most complete color swap i have ever seen. one question why go thru all that trouble and not paint the door handle's and mirror's?
Damn i want more haha keep us updated with some more! If i had the money i swear id do this to my DA.
damnit hybrid93hatch you got to that spot to take pics before me!!!! that pic off of 42 in locust grove?
Great job on your project. I've been here at work all day reading all 42 pages of this thread. And now its 4pm. I need to get to work. I need to come check you out. I'm in McDonough and just picked up a 95VX.
