I was reading something one time here on iclub about a guy who raced a k20 swapped civic I think and he had like a stage 2 wrx. Well I guess the wrx smoked the k20 by like two cars? I dunno maybe less but damn.....But hey a civic with a k20 is ballin'

thanks! Hey did you buy that blue paint color for the wheels over at kragen? Been thinking of doing something like that with my stock wheels to practice
yes....veryy veryyy expensive. I've already thrown more then $4k in this car....(paint, conversion, wheels, seats, and a couple of a few other things I haven't installed)
hahah yeah man most of us here can't keep a car stock and ur so right a k20 swap is hella expensive. You can actually buy another car for the price of just the motor. Oh and yeah i've done a lot to this motor to get it running the way it is now. Motor feels really healthy so i'm happy.
I like it...looks nice and clean.
No sense in doing power mods unless you're gonna throw a K20 in and then you jump into a whole big money pit.
Just keep that GSR motor running good and play with the suspension IMHO.
I want a GSR as well to be my DD...but am afraid I will start modding it like crazy too!
