Hey everyone just wanted to share this just in case it helps anyone with their future Kswap.
last week I started with the project. So far so good. I’ll also provide a list of things I brought that I needed to do this swap.
I’ll add some photo and links so you can see the progress.
Before I do let me just get this out now because I know many may ask why didn’t I just sell my car and got an si??? Well for me after much thought on that. It was cheaper doing it this way. but don’t get it wrong A lot of work to make this happen. If I would of sold my car I would of only gotten about $6000-$8000 and if that for my LX. 9th gen civic si are still about $15000 used! I’m actually still saving money and got some goodies too.

Sweet build. That is quite the undertaking. Are you doing si brakes in the rear or what’s the plan there? Instrument cluster?
 
As of right now I’m not, but eventually I will. that’s part of my plans. I’m just trying to get this car swap done. As for the cluster I got the top one Just because it lets you know when vtec engages ( even though I have the ktuner v2 that lets me know) lol and also i wanted to have a red cluster on top and a blue on the bottom. Just to be different.
