> People do it for insurance reasons too. It’s common with my car (RSX) apparently the Type-S is a good bit more expensive to insure so people swap the type-s motor into the base pretty frequently. That way they get the added performance but the insurance company assumes you have the base still and charges for that. I haven’t looked into how long before the money you spend on the swap is paid off with insurance savings though haha.

For someone in the “high risk” insurance demographic (read: 18-25 year old male), probably not all that long.
