well the driver side mount didn't even sit flush with the frame rail, so that was common sense, and the bottom motor mount was rubbing the steering rack, when we fitted the motor.

Great build thread and good job on the updates. Looks like your project is moving along - I'm staying tuned for more.

I know the car is not moving at the moment, but you aren't going to mount your front wheels the same way are you when completed, right? Looks like right and left are reversed up above. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

AWESOME BUILD!!!

oh so ur the other guy doing the swap, Brian was talking about he was working on a single ecu setup for some guy, which must be you! Well i couldn't wait any longer for Brian to figure out a single ecu setup, so i went with the traditional dual ecu setup, which is a pain in the ass, since you don't get any instructions from hasport or hondata.

I actually fired her up last night, but theres a lot to still fix since hasport didn't really give me the correct harness, so im left with repinning connectors. Not fun when you pay big money, and still have to modify, and troubleshoot.

It is my dream to someday (not in the near future) swap a K20Z3. After working for Honda for two years I have really come to love the performance and sound of the K20Z3 and I also love the versatility of my Fit. So in my opinion it is a perfect combination!

Your build looks fantastic! I can't wait to see more progress and the final results!
