No problem man, we had a fun drive down there, raining like crazy though. Not to try and hijack your thread or anything, but here's my pics from today.

took out the front seat and put the motor there, much better than spending $75 for gas for the truck lol

also had two wheels that I was dropping off for another guy, then had to pick up a fender

then we hit a red light while we were trying to turn right, we were sitting in a 2 foot puddle, exhaust was completely under water

then it started leaking in, had about an inch of water inside lol

It was a fun drive down there, nice to finally meet you.

**NXRacer** · 12-14-2003, 10:39 PM

**kicker1_solo** · 12-14-2003, 10:40 PM

**pearldrop** · 12-15-2003, 01:46 PM

How did you fit the motor through the door of a 4-door Civic?

**NXRacer** · 12-15-2003, 02:20 PM

its w/out a tranny and exhaust manifold, so it was pretty small. and there was no front seat.

**Justin86** · 12-15-2003, 05:11 PM

yea that is the stock eq holder. Looks like fun guys!
