I believe that transmission is from a B16A. http://www.civicforums.com/forums/222-advanced-engine-performance-swaps/338291-b-series-engine-transmission-specifications.html

Exactly. They're even cheaper now. Prices at Hmotors are still super expensive.... Not dissing them, but these cars are 5 years more depreciated and their prices do not reflect that. At least with the CL market - it does. I know this because I just sold my motor this spring, and followed suit...

My last fill up was about $34 http://www.fuelly.com/car/acura/rsx/2002/xpl0d3r/250791

Yep. But you still pay way too much for them at places like this, unfortunately. I found my JDM B18B setup for $1110 years ago, on CL. 35k on it; just needed an ECU, a couple brackets, and axles, and I was set.

While sadly true, you can sometimes find some gems. I bought a transmission off CL once and I highly regret that one. Since he said a cost between 500-1000, I didn't recommend hmotors online... I checked those prices before posting and they were upwards of $2-3k for the motors :shock:

Craigslist or eBay really. Check junkyards and local listings, etc.

Yup, and here I am only doing IT work for the company and getting screwed over because of it haha. I learned how to open an actuator the other day via bluetooth though. Awesome idea but being an IT security major I feel like it can easily be exploited....

I feel the burden from oil too. Price of oil down = lots of our projects are on hold or have been cancelled.. especially some bigger projects in Latin America. The worst part is because of that, no yearly bonus.. that's a couple grand no longer coming by way... boo ... But I save a few cents on...

Craigslist would probably be your best bet. Not sure what cheap but not too cheap means though, lol.

I fully vouch for Swift - I have heard nothing but great things from them. I was actually looking for a Swift spring upgrade for my setup, but such thing does not exist unfortunately. If you're looking to really be slammed correctly, I would look into air lift suspension. Big $$$ though...

Just keep in mind that cutting springs is very dangerous and is not supported or recommended by ClubCivic. We advise against it. https://www.eatondetroitspring.com/cutting-coil-springs/

Don't take his advice on cutting the coils if you value your life.

Did you make sure to remove the old VC gasket completely from both the cover and the head? In your pics I can see some VC gasket left over.

Sucks about the car, but glad you're ok!

If you can find anyone on this site that has done that, I highly commend you lol.

Yes, they will fix your issue. For only a short period of time. They're cheap and junky, and will not last long. If you buy them, you'll be creating another thread in a year asking what to upgrade to. Save your money and get something better.

Vtec** ANY D-series motor lacks power. Save your $$$ because you'll be disappointed throwing money at this motor to make it faster.

:welcome: Blown rear shocks? OEM suspension?

Either way, f**k that guy. Hope he spends some good time in jail.

100% agree! OP, :welcome: to ClubCivic!
