ok, lets get this shit straight, im the originater of this thread, 1st of all you guys talk lots of shit! if you want me to break everything down i will. for one, i didn't know i was getting settlement, i wasn't planning on selling my house, but got a nice offer....i bought the civic before i knew about anyhthing...i needed a reliable car cuz my other civic (94 ex) was having problems, and i work 25 miles away, needed something reliable cuz i couldn't afford to miss work anymore, and not to mention something with AC cuz i live in miami. the civic was in my price range, and good on gas (this was when gas was like 3.15 for 87). but now gas is down, i have money and i want some power. i like the way my car looks, that shit looks hot! black on black, wit black 18's polished lip, TEIN springs, its my night rider....so why am i going to just sell the car and get another one, i am happy with my car, i just want some power.

another thing, i didn't ask for your input on why i want to do this swap, i just want to. this is a car that i want to hold on, have fun with and play for awhile. i like having fun toys, and this is one of them. my next toy is a gixxer, but thats off the subject.....the way i see it, i like having shit that not everyone and there moms got. the 5 n 6th gen. civc is too old for me, they nice and all and have lots of potential, but i like somthing alittle newer. and how many people put a Type R into an 05 civic. not many at all, this is something that i find will be fun as shit for me to drive, it'lll be a DD.

this thread was for some advice for what i should do with a K20a swap into my civic, not to just bash why I want to do it. i don't give a fuck if the value goes down, or its just not worth it. i do shit cuz i want to, not because someone says it wont be worth it. most people who put the B16 or B18 swap all know that the car isn't going to be worth all the money they put in, the price tag goes up some, but its not gonna hold the same value of the time and money spent into the car. basically do shit cuz you want to when you want to (or can). at least i'll aprovecha and do it! instead of saying that i want to do something to my car...when the car is completely finished, that shit will be badazfuk, if you think differently, then go fuck yourself, cuz it'll probably be faster than yourz. i only said that i have 8k to put into the car now, not for all and all. another thing, i never said i wasn't going to be doing anything to the suspension, of course with all that motor, there needs be a good suspension...but also, im not gonna be racing, maybe if i can take it to the track, but doubt it.....street racing, ehh not my thing, i not tryin to get arrested, locked up, and fucked over. i can afford speeding tickets but thats it. but i'll sure take you at a light.....this is just something that i like, one of my interests so thats why im doing this. i know i could easily sell the civic and with the 8k go and buy somehting baad as shit, or buy a 5 o 6 gen. and totally build it up, but im not trying to do that, already said, and i would love a integra Type R (one of my faves) but that shit would get stolen so fast down here, its not worth it.

so bottom line is, get off my dick n worry about your shit, not mines. if anyone wants to get back on topic, feel free.....
