you can not reuse anything really except maybe your exhaust and parts of the engine harness
or do a k20 swap in it!
Save your money, get a car with real power, something in RWD configuration.

So I have to share this story. I own a 85 ford thunderbird elan. I didn't pick this car by choice and Ive been wanting to sell it or trade it. Since I happen to have access to an engine, I was considering finding a high miled civic that the body was still intact. That way I can drop in the low miled engine and have a decent ride for cheap. Well, after a little searching I found a small car lot that had a 98 civic EX with 180k miles on it. The interior was dirty but not shredded, and the hood and front passenger fender had dents but no rust on the body. The car has the same engine that I was looking to drop into it so it was going to be a fun project for someone as noobish as myself.
So I called the owner of the lot and explained that im looking to trade and ask him what he wants for the car. He tells me 3 grand. I told him that was a little high. He seemed interested in the trade and told me he would meet me in person to talk about it. However, when we met he instead preceded to act very angry, and told me he was offended that I said that his car wasn't worth 3 grand and what makes me think my car is worth more (which I never said it was). He was acting so crazy I had to just leave.

DC5-S transmissions are expensive. That is if you can find one. AFAIK, they're not exactly a dime a dozen like D and B-series parts are.
And "fast" is subjective. To me, a k24/6spd isn't fast at all.

You can't swap a b series anything into a 7th gen period!
wrong. ^^^ its been done quite a few times, its just not a simple drop in swap

It's not legal for one and two it's cheaper and more practical to do a k. The only b series 7th gen I've seen is a show car for skunk2 or aem or something
Man, location is everything!...... where I live there is no emissions, you arn't supose to pass inspection without a catylitic converter, but the people are that lieniant that you can get away with anything! I could drop a turbo deisel into a miata ( I wouldnt do that, but it's just for a comparison) and still pass no problem!
