That's so funny, I was just looking at that post the other day and was eying the suspension and possibly that motor. How coincidental.

you should've had him do the v6 swap. It probably would've costed the same, and think of the torque curve

The V-6 swap is still heavily in R&D. By the time you bought the V-6, 5 speed trans, Tim's custom wiring harness and computer. Then had Tim design and build the custom mounts, bell housing adapter, drive shaft, and custom clutch assembly you would be way over my budget. I do think it would be cool though.

No doubt Tim is the right man for the job, but that is a lot of down time and money.

but think of the torque curve. over 200 lb ft and 300 hp... that thing would be a monster!

Back up and running good as new thanks to Tim.

I got a ride in the V6 civic today when I picked up the car, Words can't describe what a beast that thing is.

Not driving the car for two months really makes you appreciate it even more when you get it back.
