actually there are 3 engine swaps: 2zz, whatever the camry v6 is, and the k20. you can even boost the stock engine and make a good amount of power from it, without harming it too much.
and i have found out that there is a guy, Che, who makes exact replica PPE parts i believe, or some pretty reputable performance brand, and they are high quality for about a third of the price. i am actually leaning towards this car again because there are many options for it, and it can be a fun little car. still an upgrade from my prelude.
I appreciate everyones opinions. im going to keep doing some research
