anything unforseen that might really **** me off?

 

I hope you got your ---- together. That's all I'm saying. - Matt

 

good luck, take pics of all the cuts and bruises and video of the swearing. im sure it will be well worth it though.

 

yea sounds awesome... what is it going into?

 

h22 tranny's are cable operated not a shift linkage. You will have to weld up the stock shifter hole and drill holes to mount the prelude shifter. Then you will need to cut a hole about 8" or whatever it is infront of the shifter for the cables... if you dont get this hole in a very accurate spot you're cables will snag.

a magazine i have at home has this swap tech article. PM me if you want me to look in it for an answer for something for you.

 

I pondered that I dea for a while.then I came to the conclusion thst its too much work.Yea you can get a front clip for 1800 plus shipping but its just too much work to put that in a Civic........good luck!

 

I just read that article.. you have to extend a BUNCH of wires. and u have to change move the fuel filter closer to the pass side about 3" to clear the TB.

 

My friend did this swap in an EK, I wish I was there to help and learn a little, but he told me the hardest part was getting the huge engine in the car. He had to cut and bend a lot of stuff jus to get it to barely squeeze in there, breaking off his TPS in the process. It runs nice though, I drove it and I love it. He got Tein full coilovers to help with the understeer. I don't think it's as bad as everyone says it is.

 

step 1, dont be intimidated, its not hard

step 2 double check your work,

step 3 put on some good music

step 4 keep everything organized

step 5 have booze on hand in case of emergency
