First:

Its a K20A3 SWAP into an 01-03 Honda Civic EX AUTOMATIC. its a swap AND an automatic to manual conversion. its not your average B series that takes 1-2 days to do.

Second:
The car was dropped off and sat 3 WEEKS before you made a decision to give us the OK to do the swap. I told you it would take 1-2 weeks to find a DONOR CAR which is what you needed. I AM VERY PICKY about what motors i get. I must know complete history and mileage of engine before purchase. in the event that a motor is bad, i make sure its a reputable company that i can pursue and make sure you have a positive outcome.

Thirdly:
The compicated part of this is that he needes a FRONT CLIP. you did not have the money for a K20A aka DC5 ITR, and you did not have the moeny for a K20A2 RSX TYPE-S, much more readily available and easier to find. we went with a K20A3 civic SI/Base RSX swap. those are MUCH harder to find as they are mostly US cars. i found a TON of automatic swaps, but it took us a few weeks to find the perfect donor car that was a 5 speed, the subframe wasnt bent up, which would have cost you $800 from acura if it was bad, etc. i needed to have axels and wiring harness, EVERYTHING, otherwise it wasnt worth our time.

Fourth:
You needed HASPORT mounts, they weer on backorder for 2 weeks before they were delivered to us, and that is not our fault.

fifth:
the fact that it is taking so long is the fact that there is ALOT OF WIRING. its not plug and play. You are right , we have had more cars come in, and you have to realize you arent the only one in the shop. if you want a personal technician, then that is something we cannot do.


Your car wil be done, it has taken a long time and i apolagize, however , its not like we are sleeping on or neglecting your car. Its takes time to get parts, wiring diagrams , figure out and trouble shoot a swap that not alot of people have done in GA. i have seen ONE other car that had a k20 in it of your chassis.

we are charging you full price because the work load hasnt cahnged.

i dont really think you UNDERSTAND what it takes to do something of this magnitude. we told you all along it was going to take 2 months do to how busy we are and due to the painstaking process of gtting parts here on time.
