Originally I was looking for a GSR in Japan to do a transplant, thinking it would be cheaper to get a motor from out there. Not being able to find one, my friend Katsu Ariizumi found one somewhere on the net. After talking to the seller, Katsu found out that he crashed his type-r and had no insurance. The guy sold it to me for $1800, so Katsu in Japan picked it up for me, had it fully stripped to nothing, had it all put in a crate and sent here. After knowing the stuff was on it's way, I bought a 95 civic dx. As soon as it arrived, I had it sent immediately to Beleray, where Ashok did the install. Everything went smooth except for the wiring harness at the brain. Ashok and I spent a while splicing wires together. The next thing to do is to get the rest of the suspension/control arms, and wheels from the type-r onto the civic.
