ahem....turn your camera to the side and they won't take pictures that are turned.... :p

 

Looks like fun. How much of the rsx random parts are going to find their way into your civic? I am assuming more then just the k will eventually be installed?

-the front struts , tie rod ends and spindles. using my civic front LCA's.

-power steering line , brake booster vacuum line , misc crap like that. PS resevoir

-entire RSX wiring harness , from driver/passenger seat forward. so all dash , access. , interior , everything but taillights , rear harness. i have to find which wire is for what in rear harness of RSX , and my civic , and cut the plugs off my civic rear harness , and the RSX one , and splice the rsx plugs on(they are different) , so it will be plug and play.

-if it will fit , RSX heater box and blower assembly(for AUTO climate control option , hehe , im greedy i know)

-whole strut , spindle , rear discs conversion in back.

-the entire dash and steering column.

-im not sure about the wiring for the sunroof yet , as the civic is 2 stage moonroof , the rsx is 1 stage sunroof. the switches are different. but my switch mounts in the rsx dash so ;). might have to isolate that wiring if it doesnt work just putting the right switch on. i havent looked at scematics yet.

not sure about wiper motor controls , as rsx has rear wiper , and adjustable intermittent wipers. im thinking im just gonna run my controls , and isolate that wiring as well.

-was already talking to honda , 17 bucks to program my keys to the ecu.

 

if someone comes across black airbags for the steering wheel and dash for an rsx without costing me my first born child , let me know , lol. more to come.

Man, Move to the US lol. So we can take our cars to you. :) Interior's going to look sexy when the dash gets fitted.

 

You have that backwards. I would much rather move my ass to canuck-land and get the hell out of here.
