I just found this on CL... and all the sudden my Civic needs a new engine and trans.

http://duluth.craigslist.org/cto/4465755122…

about a 80hp boost, an extra gear and sweet 5x100 hubs, and nicer seats.. all for 800 bucks.

well yeah but initial cost. heck it almost be worth it for just the seats. Also there's a bunch of other RSX parts I wouldn't need that I could sell to cover the rest of the cast. and the 200 I could scrap it w/o engine and trans for.

Its an unusual saying that means the same as "you're doomed ".
Ive heard it from mexicans, they say "Ya te cargo el payaso."

RSX hubs are 5x114.3, just in case you do go for it and start wheel shopping.

hondas are built like legos. Ever play with legos as a kid?

Go for it.

That is weird but I guess other Hondas use 114.3 like 4 bolt accords. thanks for the tip.

Haha yeah there is some a EP3 (2002-2004 Si) parts I would need, and of coarse there's K series engine and trans mounts, but I'd have almost everything I would need.

I'm sure enough Si's have been stolen and stripped on CL and Ebay that you could find all the parts you need in under an hour.

yup its the quickly cheddar expenditure I'm worried about. I've been doing research since I found the ad and I'm both more confident that I can do it and 100% sure I can't afford to.

Part the rest of the car out to make your money back and scrap the remains. Easiest way to cover the cost.

It's going to be pretty expensive, difficult, and you should totally do it. K20 is the future of Honda swaps.

FOR ONLY $800?!?!!?!?!! HOLY HELL! SNAP THAT UP! Seats, $300, wheels, $300, sell other random parts for $200 and you are already break even

GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT

K-series swaps are now common, engine mounts and wiring adapters are commercially available

I'm not kidding, strip it and sell it even if you don't transplant to your car, that engine/trans combo often goes for $2000-6000, worth your time to resell I'd think
