the 12-13 fits are a black housing. which would look better on a darker color car.

Exactly, my 2013 sport has the black headlights vs the earlier sport GEs which had chrome. Just recall the base models had a non-chrome housing..guess its gray instead of black.

Ooh I like the Silver GE's TFC sticker... I wonder if it's the same one I had but spaced out?

Yes it fits but we are talking milimeter gaps here.No aftermarket header which i know of fit.i am using FD2R stock headers and custom piping.
i used HAsport mounts.so its fits fine with them.engine is exactly over the exles which is best for handling.i drove once in hills with razor sharp handling.i myself was surprised

That's cool. After doing some research I have a pretty good feeling an FD2 civic swap will be the easiest to swap in. And 95% of the wiring should match up to the GE fits.

I dont even know where to begin trying to do sparkplug/belt maintenance on that motor...do I remove hood/fenders/bumper/cowl? Looks great though and must be a blast to drive.

Same way with FD2. I believe the FD2 has the same power steering as our cars. Where as this motor is out of an 05 or older.

Damn!! My cars suspension is so responsive. It's fun as hell! Now I'm curious to see how it is with the upper chassis bars.

GE is a good chassis. Knew the RSB would put a huge smile on your face.

I've been considering doing the FSB. Too bad you didn't do upgrades one at a time to see which made the biggest impact...the RSB or the collars. They both probably help.
