lol.
I just sold my STI to get into a Civic LX-S.
dude, if you want a better motor in your car, then buy a better car in the first place.
especially with car prices coming down so much, go buy something else.
if you just want to swap a honda then go buy an EG and have a blast w/ the simplicity of OBD1.

lol come on now tho, in an 08 a b-series... lets be realistic. there is no reason to give this guy bad info. maybe if he was in an EF or EG or EK. but really all i would recommend is 08 lx-T (turbo that bitch) or sell the nice new civic and get yourself in an older body civic and do what ever you want with it :D

If money isn't an issue put a Ferrari motor in the trunk and convert it to rwd...take pics of the process and post it in the build forum! LOL!
Just buy another car...won't be worth it to swap in another motor at this point...

If you have a 06+ LX then put a K20A2 in it for like 2-3 k and run Kpro with a turbo and your looking at a fast *** 8th gen.

Dude, the engine that makes the MOST sense to put in (K20) already comes in the higher trimmed car...
I believe it was said best when they said...

Only a K series or an F series out of an S2000 is legal anyways, well they're the only legal series that makes more power anyways.
Or you could try putting a V6 from an accord or acura in it... hell why not, budget isn't too much of a problem right??

Man, this guy got blasted.
If money isn't an issue, you should import the new CTR from Japan.
Before anything, I would test how much abuse your engine could take. Sometimes you just gotta ask yourself WWBBD (What would Bizzybear do?).
