Type R Club of America

So as you can see in the first picture of this thread, there were no RTA on the caR. The seller got it rolling with a 4 lug Civic rear setup to get it home, so finally it was time to make the swap. Also now that the caR is running, It was a bit easier to turn it around on the lift. Out with the old....

Awesome!!! Which ECU are you running? Did you put the engine together or was it a full longblock? This engine thats in it right now is my pride and joy. I have had this motor in 5 different cars. Its a '96 spec JDM-R. Has NEVER been opened. I first had it in an EJ coupe Civic way back when. It is, ...
