- Tue Apr 24, 2012 4:37 am #302694 hey my name is mike, im 30 i been working on honda's for 14 years now i love them lol cant get away even tho i have tried lol... still go right back to what i love the most, making good power and still getting 35+ mpg :)

anyways i drive a 1992 honda civic cx, i have owned this car since 2004 and she has been through hell and back, shes had over a dozen motors in her and about a dozen transmissions..

i used to be all about the single cam and i have a vast knowledge of them, then i went to building b series and that was fun while it lasted... now im onto h series :) and i love it

right now my car has a usdm h22a1 motor and m2a4 trans its nice just cant quite canyon anymore it has hella understeer :( but its still fun and i have suspension on the car as well, not the nicest but its all tociko blue and neuspeed race springs so its pretty low and i have aftermarket swaybars as well ...

anyway heres some pics of my car and pics of the motor in the car as i just put it in 2 weeks ago so these pics are install pics not finished product...

hope you enjoy :)

i got rid of that muffler it was wayyy to loud and i have a vibrant performance now i love it

and i painted my engine bay before i put the motor in and i did a full wire tuck of the complete engine bay besides the fuse panel and battery

heres a pic of the motor after i got it in finally after 2 days of pain in my butt with small problems like using avid mounts :( and axle bind :( but its all good now :)
