says it's running a k20. i'm sorry... but with all the $$ he's blown on it i still think it's fugly. sure it's low... sure it has an interesting color idea, it might even be a little quick with that k20 in there. but seriously! look at it! neither bumper matches up. the grill is all sorts of screwy. the lights dont sit right... wtf?!?!??!

I think this is a fine example that decent photography can try to make anything look good... Keyword try.

It only looks like that because the fenders are pulled and rolled. Im sure its a work in progress.
Its not going to be a "little" quick, shit is fast with a k20.
I have to say this is off of honda-tech, the car was probably stolen, new vins put on, resprayed. Posting pictures of a nice car on that forum instantly makes you a target. Last year at honda day not only were cars stolen, but a fucking motor was taken out of a car.

You have to take in account the Money:Go fast ratio. Being different's cool if you got deep pockets. Buying a Honda just to swap it doesnt seem like a cost efficient project. Say $2k for a good shape EG coupe, then another say $5500(sunrisejdmmotors.com) for just the motor, then another $1600 for a kit with the spliced harness, mounts, axles, header and dvd instructions. Thats $9100 minus the cost of installation. Then it'll be a good idea to rebuild the motor since only a fool slaps a motor in from a site like that without rebuilding it first. So lets just say $12000 for this swap. You could buy a nice LS1 F-body for that and run fasters time...granted youd break cuz its a chevy. Or take the 12k and use it as a down payment on a Ford Cobra and have tiny payments and fuck bitches and get money all day long. Always ALWAYS account for the money to go fast ratio.
Other than that cars eh. Looks rattle canned

Some people dont think about fast as in going down a straight line with a bunch of red necks in big motored muscle cars. How many times do you think that cars going down the track? My friend has an 04 ep3 Si with a k20z1 out of an 06 rsx type-s with an integra type-r tranny (better ratios and stock LSD). He lost to our other friends 400 whp terminator by 3/4 of a car from a roll. He might make 240 whp max and the car is setup for auto-x and tracking.

If he isnt doing drag racing then why not just save the money and have a slightly built B18 and make the same power. Yeah saying you have a K swapped car is cool but unless you utilize it just save the money and build a dime a dozen B series. Money:go fast

So your saying he should of down graded from a k20a3 to a b18 instead of going with a k20z1?

Yes I am. B18s are like the 302s of Honda. A billion of them and people make alot of parts for them...they just arent as cool as 302s. K20s are like LS1s without the awesomeness, expensive but can make power.
