WTF A CIvic engine in a Protege? NOT

This guy claims to have a Honda Civic "ULEV" engine in his Protege. If you look closely at the picture, its not even a Protege's engine bay. The strut tower is completely different. Also, last time I checked, Honda trannies were on the OPPOSITE SIDE of the engine.
RICE.

This is his opening sentence: "This is my brand NEW conversion from a factory beige/tan 1999 Mazda Protege to this Elegant Jet Black 1999 Mazda Protege."
Now, the shot of the engine bay is white, and not even close to being beige or tan, and his car is Black? Also, all third generation Protege's have 4 (FOUR) nuts holding the strut in place, not THREE like on the picture.

What's with the webcam-quality pics? Guess if he's not detail-oriented enough to realize that the vtec is in his friend's car and not his, I shouldn't expect much.
Plus, he spells Skater like: Sk8ter...
Dude, the 8 has the "t" sound in it. It's Sk8er.

Two gauges are made my Autometer and Two more gauges are made by Phantom. I like the Autometer way more than the Phantom because at night the Autometer gives off more color than Phantom does.

That guys is just an idiot. The engine that he is suppost to have in his car is out of a Honda Accord. Granted the engine can fit into a civic engine bay it could possibly fit into a protege engine bay, but there would have to be a TON of mods done to make it work. When you do an engine swap like this you would have to have custom motor mounts, custom wiring harnes, custom axels and tons of the things custome done to make it all fix together right. You would end up spending thousands of dollars, plus finding a shop to do the swap would be pretty hard. They wouldn't want to take on a swap they didn't know if they could complete. Plus if you compare the picture of the engine bay of that car to the engine bay of a actual Protege you can see a number of differences.
