There is no way that car will be fast enough to justify the sleeper look… 200whp and 2200lbs? That sounds about as fun as an elise in a straight line (not fun)… at least an elise can corner… ---

Yes probably but how many people in wny have a B-series swap? how many people have a k-series swap. I would say there are alote more b-series swap…so i opt to be alittle different. Just the same reason why you brought the Elise, isnt there another car out that was less then the elise that could of satisify your expectation? probably yes. but you picked to be different! Thumbs up to being different! lol ---

even a turboed d16 with vitara pistons will go as fast if not faster for roughly half the cost of this (im not really sure what this is going to end up costing but i know its alot) i like it that you went different but for the money i probably would have stayed d series or maybe swapped to a B series, or even LS/Vtec ---

Ugh, shitty comparison, a d16 turbo build to get 220hp reliably isn’t going to be as cheap as this particular k20a2. Maaaaybe a turbo b18b1 would be a better $ comparison but it’s not going to be as reliable as this k20. Let’s not forget, Dave bought a totalled rsx for a fantastic price and is parting out the whole car except what he needs. I’d much rather pop my hood and see a k20 vs some pos rusty log manifold on a SOHC. ---
