With all the body work I would want to know if the moldings could even stand up to the extreme elements/vibrations/speed-aero dynamics and all without disintegrating in the process...

I didn't stop work on the body. I bought a new rear bumper and I'm trying to come up with a design that I can make possible and like,. M as for the streangth the body can withstand 124mph and I forgot what else I was going to say

Ok now I remember first thing. This is a big project at least for me. I get tired of working on one side of the car so I jump around (I know bad habit). I started the engine cuz I need to come up with an exhaust to finish the rear bumper. The tone of the exhaust will change after the sc so I feel I need the sc then exhaust then rear bumper etc...

Damn! I am sorry to hear that, file a claim with the shipping company or call the company directly.

now comes the wiring. so far this is the biggest pain in the ass. the wiring diagram for the ecu (also known as Powertrain Control Module pinout numbers) took me about 3 hours to find. the pinout numbers i found are for the 08 accord coupe but they appear to be the same. for anyone who may plan on scing 8th gen accord i'll post everything i used on a new thread

Correction the 08 accord coup has a different pin than the sedan and to my knoladge 06 civic has the same pin out as the 08 accord coup. The differences between the sedan and the coups is minor. The MAF and I think some of the ground are moved. Luckily a guy at my local honda dealer was able to give me a print out of my cars pinout.
