I dislike how common Honda swaps are just as much as the next guy, but I can appreciate how good the B-series and K-series engines are and why so many people want to swap one into their car. If you disagree and say these engines are crap, then we'll know that you obviously have never driven a car powered by one.
original post was "i dont know if this is badass or not"

thats my response and im sticking to my answer...

and about that first comment, that shows your ignorance about what people actually do to their cars, specifically j bodies. just because there ****ing woodbridge ricers dont do , or know for that matter, doesnt mean that it doesnt happen. there are swaps for all 3 gen of j's, and i know of a bit in the gta aswell. i suppose your fiesta sees engine swaps all the time.

lmao, who the **** do yuo think you are? really...who?

have you done every little ****ing thing in the world that you know everything about everything. just because i havent done an engine swap (waste of money for pretty much every car, if u wanted the engine, u should have bought the car) doesnt mean i have no knowledge of how and what kinds there are to do.

you people are really ****ing unbelievable. i love how so much of you talk so much like you guys know everything and try to prove everyone. to all of you: get over yourselves. and **** you.

ive done more than lower a jbody and install a new deck, ill tell you that.

waste of money? what are you on crack? classic point of you talking out of your ****in *** about a subject you know nothing about. cars with a certain engine will fetch a huge premium. you can get the same performance, but for significantly less by putting the same motor into a different chassis. this isnt a new concept.

YOU DRIVE A HEAP OF CAVALIER THAT RUNS 16'S AND GOES DOOR TO DOOR WITH MOST ECONOMY CARS IN ITS CLASS. WHY THE **** DID YOU COME ONTO A STREET RACING FORUM IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHEN THE ONLY THING YOU RACE IS YOUR MOUTH? GO DRIVE THAT JUNK OFF A CLIFF WITH YOU IN IT.

Your an idiot.
Its not a waste to do swaps. Consider this. Take a lightweight EF hatch. Swap in a k20. You have spent a total of $10,000. Other option. Buy an RSX. $20,000, or whatever the **** they cost. And its a heavier platform.
Super analytical skill ********.

So by that logic, all these guys swapping in SBC/BBC's into their camaros/older corvettes or anyone that replaces the 302 in a mustang with anything larger/better is wasting their time and is stupid. Or anyone that builds a 3 rotor 20B FC, 2jz mk3, ect. ect.

You are right dude, you are far more knowledgable than anyone else on this forum.

i didnt mean for every car out there, just most on this forum. everyone boasts about their civics, yet they dont have civic engines anymore, type r suspension off an itr, type r dash...what exactly is the car considered now? oh ya, stupid me, a honda civtegra type r

now matter how cool swapping that b18b in your ef or ek or eg or blah blah blah is, its really not.

you guys are quite sad, guess the cool thing around here to to try and prove me wrong on here...bunch of ****, go outside and get a life.
