Chill bud, people use forums to gain information, not to see a bunch of guesswork. There's plenty of miss information out there, guestimating doesn't help that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the K sight weighs less than the stock weight too, those batteries are pretty heavy.

Yeah...pulled that figure out of thin air too...haha.

John has done some misc fab work for me over the years...and I had a fairly long conversation with him about the first k-sight over a year ago. The most difficult part of the swap is in the wiring...which he doesn't do...and takes many many hours to complete.

Keep in mind that he also fabricates a header/exhaust, has custom axles made, custom coilovers from tein, custom subframe, custom engine mounts, custom ecu/wiring setup, s2000 gauge cluster, working ac, working cruise control, working electric power steering etc etc.

I think the most impressive part about this swap is how close to stock the car feels when its completed. It drives like a stock honda, doesn't rattle like a stock honda or act at all like its been swapped or screwed with.

Super clean work by the way, I love this type of thread (cool project, clean work, lots of pics) and can only admire the knowledge and clean work these guys are capable of doing.

That's a pretty sick setup!

Maybe I'll have to convince my mom to sell me her insight...
