Build what you want but spending 8k to get a car that will get whooped buy anything with over 200Hp is just lame anyway you look at it. I realize you probably don't like hearing the critics but learn to deal with it. A civic with a K series is still slow in my book. It's a Civic, I doubt your upside down on it. Sell it, and get a black SI with some black rims with a chrome lip, and dump a couple of grand into it. Viola, you have a faster "Knight Rider"! Trust me, I have done more engine swaps than you want to know and it's not something to do just because you have a hair up your ass to be "different". I hope all goes well, but please let us know how it feels to drive a poorly designed RSX when you are done. Because that is about what you will end up with.
