im getting it from a guy down in cali. in modesto actually. i was trying to go pick it up sometime but it looks like i wont have any time and i might have to have him just ship it up here. im gonna be going tdy on sunday for 3 weeks then i got efmb when i get back so im gonna be pretty busy. im gonna see what im gonna do. im actually gonna call the guy tomorrow when im off to discuss it.
gahh! i dont know what to do. should i get this or just wait save money finish my interior, and exterior then get the swap later. i htink im just gonna waste money. i dont really need it
i can understand what you mean man, you wanna go fast now but really dont want to spend the money on something you are gonna end up getting rid of later.
my suggestion to you is if you are going to buy all these parts now just start over with a new project when you get back i.e. ek setup or a dc setup or even something off the wall different like rwd maybe, i mean its not a matter of not having the money later. just hate to see you waste your money on something you could have put forth on your intended project.
i was lookin at your list of parts and you have "missing link and e-manage". in my honest opinion i wouldnt even bother with either of those 2. i would either sell the e-manage and missing link and get hondata or some other form of tuning. i had the missing link on my turbo da9 and it sucked. missing links are for half ass jobs, and with the setup that you are about to get you dont want to half ass anything. take it from me do it right the first time or spend alot of time fixing what you could have done right in the beginning. aint that right lamont
if you think that you are gonna go k-series when you get back then why waste time boosting you motor that you have now. that 3200 that you are about to spend could be used on your future swap or maybe after the swap tuning(believe me it is not cheap). i just think that it is a bad idea. i say save the money, you are getting depoyed so you are gonna stack some cheese. i mean who knows while you are gone something new may come out that catches your eye. save the money and wait until you return and good luck on whatever you decide.

thanks guys, im actually not gonna boost it because it would be a waste of money. so right now im just gonna fix up the civic so once i get back its ready for the swap. gotta fix up my exterior, some new interior. then some more suspension work. then swap it when i get back.

sound like a sound plan, build up that suspension and start auto x'ing. then when you swap you will somewhat know what your cars capabilities are.
alright, thats what im gonna stick to. with suspension i already got tein ss but im looking at getting a new sway bar for the front and getting a sway bar for the rear (i dont have a stock rear sway). maybe a rear upper strut. what else should i be looking at?
as far as suspension for an em i coundnt really tell you, but i assume it wouldnt differ from any other, ill do some research and get back to you so you dont buy any unnecessary parts.
progressive actually makes a rear sway bar kit, that also includes a lower tie bar. i havnt looked for it in a while i forgot pricing on it.
i wanted to get the nt01's but i heard it rains alot up here in WA and i dont think those would do so good on wet roads. right now i just have some yokohama paradaspec2. i would need something that would do good on dry road and still be able to keep me on the road in the wet.
bushings would work. i have the motor mount inserts from energy suspension. so ill look into that.
dont get the progressive the will cause clunking noise and rip your rear crossmember i know which one you are talking about there is a post on h-tech about them. http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1594836 well i cant find the thread with the results from the progressive sway lower tie combo tearing the rear substructure but i know its there i just gotta search more. i recommend getting separate units if available because sway bars move completely different than a tie bar would causing the substructure to tear or elongate the mounting holes.
example: sway bars are torsional as in they counter act the lateral rotation of the vehicle
tie bars counter act flexing in the substructure in and out movement of the lower structure of the vehicle.
