Here is a quick overview of what I've done and still need to do:
1.D15 out and into my pals EJ9
2.Brakeline tuck....Ill never buy from CB again Better buy fro mrywire or any1 else.
I think ill be opening a dispute for my money back.
1. Order took 5 moths.
2.Its the wrong kit.
3. and its a wrong incomplete kit...

3. Wiretuck (50% complete; need to solder where the previous owner had running lights connected and tape it up)
4. reassemble the Gearbox
5. replace the timing chain tensioner
6.Place the Clutch-kit
7. Place the EG subframe and PS steering rack.
8. Connect the EHPS
9. Hang the K20.
10. Drive the hell out of it!
11. Redo the rear fenders correctly!
12. Rotrex!!

Love the dedication and credit to you for going for it, great choice of parts! Those rear arches however are asking for some attention.

Mitch, why no 5 lug if the idea is to make a ek9 replica? You're swapping a k20 so the extra 600 euro's for a 5 lug shouldn't be the big stopper now right?

Yo Zero,

I already said why XD because:
I cant have 5 lug and 282/262 brakes cause of this:
So these will have to do
the replicas and tires costed me almost twice a 5 lug 282/262 swap.

Thanks man doing my best XD

Update:
HR shifter and cables plus the chase bays order still to be shipped...
Club RSX is at the local customs so should be in any day now.

HR shipped the Clutch in advance:

Tested the slicks from a friend of mine:
13" Lenso rims fit perfectly on 262mm brakes:

Yeah just when I thought it cant go wrong now..
Update....
1.Chasebays send me teh correct brakelinetuck kit after they saw they had it wrong and incomplete. (its in kiami now) great customer service!
2. Hybridracing send me a harnass withouth VTEC plugs..send pics to them and emails where i explicitly said:
I NEED VTEC IN MY HARNAS
and where the sales person answered:
IT WILL HAVE VTEC.

their solution was run a single wire for vtec under my "milspec/tucked"harnass....
I wanted my money back asap..
I mean com on..
So HR/CB harness will be send back as oon as I get ROA information.
And I'll order from Wireworx Compared to what i had these guys seem the bes; more options and professional. and rush mode for extra fast production and delivery.
Went for Rywire 1st, since I already have a conversion swap harness from them atm, but they cant deliver in the next 3 weeks.
So this will be it:
K-Series Raychem Milspec Engine Harness - WIREWORX
Didnt like the look of stage 4 look bulkier then stage 3.

So 3-4 weeks more? This time without own transportation....

Greetsz,

Mitch
