Shlammed question for you. When you put the motor in did you put it n from the top or the bottom? Reason I ask is because I am painting my bay this friday and I'm scared to death of scratching the paint when I the motor drop in. How did you do yours? I'll be dropping an lsv into my EG hatch.

i put mine in from the top. no scratches.

though i dont know how open your bay is. i know when i had a b16 in an EF civic it was a tight fit.

yep. super basic engine setup.

Going to work on that a little, but for now its good.

need to get the suspension worked out (coils on order) and hook up my 23mm rear sway bar.
