Walter, glad to hear you are ok man!

As for the mounts in an EK, you can just use the b16 mounts out of a CTR or any other EK civic with a b16 in it. they will all bolt right up!

Glad to hear that your alright Walter :y.

But what did you learn from the crash? Was it to much speed into the curve? to much braking at the wrong time or something else.

A few years ago I used to crash all the time but I made sure to figure out what I did wrong and learn from it.

It sounds like you did some really good driving in the middle of the crash though to avoid the ravine.
The last wreck I had on a back road took me completely by suprise. I was doing about 80 mph in a short straight away that had a gentle right at the end of it. I had been driving the car as hard as i could for about twenty minutes already so decided I was just going to slow down an just chill the rest of the way home.

So somewhere in my head I forget what I'm doing and hit the brakes just a little to hard going into that really gentle right, And the next thing I know the back tires break loose and the car is trying to swap ends on me.

I have a grass bank on the right side of the road and drop off into a creek and larg sycamore trees on the left. I could tell that if I let off the brakes and tried to turn into the slide i was probably going into the creak abd unto those really big trees.

So I just held the brakes so they would slow me down as much as possible and hit the bank on the right. The car flipped over on it's top but somehow stayed on the road It was just crazy I was upside down
Sliding down the middle of the road looking out the windshield watching the dotted yellow lines go by.
The the car spund around and flipped back over on it's wheels and I didn't have a scratch on me my eyes were just burning from the powder of the airbag.

i learned that i must not to run with a stock hatch.. :) and yes.. i did avoid the ravine.. my "ex-" hatch had the rear suspension a lil bad.. and the brakes are really crap if you want to race to the limit..

good thing that the hatch did not has airbag.. if not.. likely it would can to damage my face.. :l

oh..i see.. your accident were very serious..

i hope to get a new hatch and swap it.. and im thinking in to weld a extra bars in the chasis.. , and the first things i will buy are good suspension and a good brakes.. likely upgrade brakes ... ITR brakes or Accord brakes (i had on the point of to buy a set but..)
