face it, anyone going into cars as a hobby, you'll never ever ever ever get back what you put in, unless its actually a collectable/classic car. Just chalk it up & take the lost if you're going to sell. so before you decide if you want to go K or build a b20/vtec or build any motor, you gotta ask yourself if youre going to be willing to take a loss in what you put in the car when you do decide to sell. If not, its going to take a horribly long time to sell your car. I think if you ARE going to sell, you're better off parting out & selling the shell as stock as you will get more people interested, rather then just tuners.


& BUILT NOT BOUGHT! haha...

K-swap as sexy and nice it is, esp. the ******* tranny, it was just an idea and it's something I can probably do in the following month's. But at the same time I need to grow up sorta and buy a more grown up car, and I wouldn't mind selling my hatch for the right cash offer as stated already.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Im in the same position where I am in need of a more grown up car that is more impressive for work reasons. Ive talked Jeff's ear off about what I should do with my car (thanks for that) and one thing I know for sure I do not want to sell it. The option Im going with is working a little more and start saving earlier so that when the times comes for me to get out into the workforce I going to have something that is more presentable to the corporate world. My hatch is probably gonna be in storage . I know I didnt really answer your question but I just wanted to state an option you can do if you truely do not want to sell your car.

 

yup i sold my hatch for way less then i put into it. i knew it was going to be like that. and when you sell the car....you will regret it. i still do SOMETIMES.... haha i just miss the power of my old ls/vtec the CA18DE isnt cutting it for me. =P

 

ive been wanting to get a different car for a while now, i have an atv that i want to get rid of but i just dont know if i could bring my self to do that. anything that i ride or drive i dont want to get rid of but i still want something better, i like to keep the old and bring in the new all at the same time, maby i just have priority management problems?

That's why I have a 2006 WRX limited that is as loaded as a scooby can get and a mildly lifted 2004 Ranger 4x4. They appear to be a more "mature" choice lol.

nope a/c has to be eliminated. theres no room for it. and i don't think theres a bracket that bolts up to hold the compressor in place.

 

Ive seen it done.. its out there, hiding somewhere deep in the honda-tech archives... custom lines and SOME bracket holds a compressor with 3 bolts i think. then youill have to do wirering... but it can be done with a K swap.

i beg to differ. my bf has built 3 k motors in 3 different hatches. selling 2 for over $10,000. and finally blowing the 3rd, and parting out the good pieces of the motor making his money back. k is in. people will pay for it.</TD></TR></TABLE>

That's cause you bf is 35yrs old with nothing but money to throw away

but if you have a turbo k20 wont you be going fast enough to not even need a/c?

 

hahah this is true.. that car puts down retarded numbers!!!

 

question about that, there has to be absolutly no traction what so ever in that car, cuz i watched a vid of a k24 hatch and oh the hwy from 65 he just burns em through 3rd

Yeah well which ever comes first I'll take the opportunity. Cause I still have Nisei Week Showoff to do on August 18th with Passwordjdm, so if after a little time goes by and no one want's my hatch I'll just keep the damn thing and garage it 24/7. What is "sfwd?"

 

swfd is a drag class he was referring to he could boost his car to run it in that class for same 10k as u would put in the k swap.

lol. i actually didnt mean to burn him.. but now that you point it out, its pretty funny. but i meant to correct him... if shes was down there for a long time, she COULDNT feel what she was looking for ( such as a sist or a growth..). but funny to read though. lol

i find that hard to believe that your going to get the parts that cheap.......just the parts you need to do the swap right is close to 3.5k......motor at the least is if you find a deal and half on the s motor is 3000.....i mean that right there is enought to have a fully built b motor that's boosted. k is not cheap.......k pro alone is 700 to 800 bucks. then the header if you want a good one is another 7 bills.....right there your tippin 2k......its just something i would step back and look at....thats all i'm trying to say.

 

this is just the exp i going to use for the money behind the k swap....
this is the full swap from hmotors. motor and tranny.
http://www.hmotorsonline.com/s...30015
passwordjdm only sell's the shitty version of the k swap and its a long block for 1599.99 which is close to 2k.
