Once the car is back together... then it's time for the alignment and maybe headed to Omar to get some things built / installed in the car.

I liked your choice of reading material on the first page. And what is the paint on your engine bay?

Welp, engine and trans are back together. Time to get the rear camber kit on, CUSCO exhaust bushings on, PIC Performance LCAs, and the Spoon SW-388s on since the rear of the car is jacked up.

Then to move to the center of the hatch and install the Civic Type R shift linkage with Spoon bushings. and maybe have the engine bolted into the chassis tonight...

I also plan to do some thing not sure has been posted on this site... The weight difference in the stock "B" series shift linkage against that of the hollow aluminum Civic Type R shift linkage. I don't expect a significant difference, but it would be neat to see and I will make sure that the linkages are of exact specs. Same shifter and knobs and misc hardware

well you can look into a no play shifter if you really want. Dramatic difference from a stock set up, but idk if its worth 375 shipped tho? There will be minor improvements that will be seen. and acctually have read good things about the set up your going to be running. now they say shifting will be just a bit different and and the throw i think is going to be just a bit shorter as well. i would have to re-read the thread tho.
