well im about to sell my crx and was thinking of picking up a sedan and plan on doing some sort of swap. i think a sedan with a k would be siiiick. it would be hard to find a clean sedan with no rust around here

It would be same as a hatch or rex swap wise. Guess not done by a sedan fan... yet.

You think jumping on two bandwagons at one time is going to make your car unique?

The sedan bandwagon AND the K bandwagon? Nothing special there bro. Sorry to have to break it to you.

I'm just teasing him...

But you guys do realize cars do exist whose owners do not post on the internet, right? Just because it doesn't exist on H-T doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Probably because the K series isn't cost-effective?

I mean come on....6K for like 220-240 hp?

There's better (cheaper, more convenient, less hyped up) ways of getting that kind of power.

When the prices start coming down a little bit on K's you'll see a ton more.

a gutted crx is not quick with a b16, i dont see how a sedan with the same swap could be consired as quick. unless you have other mods.

I heard about a guy on k20a.org that was putting a K20 in a wagon. I've not seen one in either a sedan or wagon yet. The EF wagons/sedans are relatively light but, I'd have a hard time spending $8k+ on a sedan or wagon swap. I'd stick to a hatch or CRX.
