As for "no point in swaping anymore..." not every one wants an rsx Id much rather have a civic ... the 06 civics are sick looking ...
This is right on. He asked about putting a K20 in an 05 Civic. Well, I don't hear much from anybody on here about putting stuff in an 05, cause they're just too new. You know in a couple years, we're all going to look around and see this swap being done all the time.
I think its funny listening to you guys flame Civics. How many of you have dropped a ton of money into YOUR Civic mostly just because you wanted to, and not because it was going to be "worth" it if you went to sell it? This is a Civic board, and he asked about putting a new motor into his Civic, which most of the time you guys would jump all over. You'd recommend this motor or that motor if you didn't like his first choice, then you'd recommend anything you could think of to add to it, no matter what the budget was. Seeing as how this is an 05 and there isn't a whole lot that can be done with it right now, you say its a waste of time/money and tell him to go get a different car.
I say hell yeah, go for the swap. For $8K, and the lack of this being done everyday (for now), you're going to be limited in options, but if for nothing else, do it because its not a B18 in a 1995 Civic!
There's my $.02
