well,I am very particular about building my car the right way. there is no way I would take a used motor that i know absolutely nothing about drop it in my car. I would take it apart,clean it up an replace any worn parts before hand. therefore,why go through buying another motor swap for $3k,rebuilding everything with hi-po parts $1-2k,turbo or SC $3-4K,tranny work $1k,stronger axels $1k. It would be cheaper and more reasonable to keep and build up my existing 1.6 vtec which I already have, I've owned since new,and the car is already set-up for that motor. I won't be out there smokin type-r's but I don't race my car,its a show car and would just like for it to move alittle faster and have the motor work done to show off at cars shows.
