My civic was bought about two years ago, its an EX Coupe 5 speed stock. It used to be Nighthawk Black Pearl. I bought the factory body kit from honda, and painted the whole car in Arival Pearl Blue. Soon after, I lowered it on H&R lowering springs (knowing that the stock shocks were new).  Then I added the RSX-S sway bars.  Soon realizing after that the stock d17 was not even close to what I needed under the hood, I took a long adventure.  Realizing that turbo'in the stock engine was not going to be worth it in the end I went for the k20 swap.  I wanted everything in the end to be legal and use as many factory parts as I could.  The swap is a k20a2 with the 6 speed transmission.  I put in a Exedy stage 2 clutch.  The hasport mounts really made the swap a lot easier.  It has an SI subframe and radiator.  This swap has the stock rsx cat converter on it, and I made the engine harness myself. The swap has no check engine light, and has been california state reffed.  

Future mods include:
RSX-S 5 lug/disc brake conversion
K-sport full coilovers
06 RSX-S rims, powdercoated white
Jackson Racing supercharger
Buddy club spec B cams

Since I bought the car, I've managed to put on 85000 miles, 50000 of which were with the swapped engine.
