Default *After Months and Months of trying to sell it's finally gone*

After months and months of trying to sell the R I thought I would never find the right buyer. I had the car on Ebay twice and numerous ads in other places, only to get bogus offers and lowballers everywhere. I built this car with everything I had and not to mention to build a turbo R the right way it costs alot of money. So flaker after flaker I finally found the right buyer.............................Me. I came to the conclusion that the right person was right under my nose. I have had so much fun since I got this car, and met so many cool people. I just didn't want to get rid of the car.

I have been driving my SI and it is complete **** compared to the R. It is totally slow as ***** and not fun at all. I am going to sell off the slow car so I can purchase my house, but I thought to myself there was no way I could go from a 300whp daily driver back to a stock 160whp ITR motor. Hmm what was I to do? Well see for yourself. >>

Whats better than stock Honda power baby! The swap was ordered from Import Auto Salvage and delivered a few weeks ago. All of my turbo stuff and B series motor was sold and helped to pay for this swap. It is very expensive but I know I will have a great daily driver again with some fun power. I am hoping for 215-230whp with boltons which should be easily attainable. Below are the mods that I will have with the swap:

Hasport Billet mounts for K series in DC
Hasport Axles
Hasport wiring harness
PWR RSX Radiator
DC sport TSX header
Return Fuel Setup (Earl Fittings, Braided lines, Aeromotive FPR, FSM Rail)
Exedy Clutch
Carsound Cat
Karcepts shifter kit
Apexi World Sport catback
Greddy Catchcan
ITR 6spd shift ****
Custom PS and A/C Lines (Thats right A/C and PS will be in the car)

I will definitely be trying to get in on some HPDE events and hopefully Expo 6 Stay tuned for a more in depth write up of putting a K series into a DC2R. Thanks to all my ITR Forum friends. You guys were a big influence on me keeping the car. Enjoy some more pics.

Very happy to see that your car is going to a nice home. I am even happier to see that this beast is going to be getting a sick NA powerplant. Definitely keep us updated.

Thanks everyone for the props. This motor costs a grip but it will be totally worth it. I wanted to keep an OEM Type R motor in my R so there was only one thing I was askin and that was. Who has one in the States
