Then after I was done with the car I had parts left over that I wasn't going to use. I listed them on TR and I got a bunch of broke ass people trying to offer me pennies on the dollar (even after I had shit listed for cheap). Took me a few months to sell most of the bigger items, and I gave up trying to sell the smaller items due to not wanting to deal with them anymore. I really don't like most of the people I've met from the Honda community. I'm sure each enthusiast group has it's own set of douche bags, it's just the amount of them in the Honda community was overwhelming in my experience.

Well i'm down to run that Mustang from a stop if you think FWD isn't the way

k swaps are nice but too pricy. take the same money on any b series and make more power and be faster.

You should look into one of those single cam setups.

My engine doesnt cost twice the value of my vehicle.......honda owners have many options...why get a stock K set up and do 13's..when you spend the same money and have a D or B built will alot more potential..I started with an already good platform...I drive my car other than just a straight line...

an evo does cost twice as much as a a regular lancer. but i guess you get a little more than a drivetrain.A built anything will not be as reliable as a factory motor. Some people value the ability to be fast all the time. I never understood why people swap motors into heavy cars (but to each their own). I think it is pretty good for a heavy ass integra & EK. You have basically high 12 second cars that will run forever, get great mpg, and give you no trouble. seems like a pretty good deal to me. You just have to hide it from the thieves.

I was just thinking.....how many swapped 240's do we have running around Tampa? probably thousands. I don't recall ever seeing one run faster than a mid 12 at the track. I know really fast ones are here locally (3-4 come to mind).We probably have 12 million swapped civics in Tampa as well, most are 14 second cars. I have seen a couple evos run in the mid-high 11's locally and saw a video of the ryu guy run 10's (sic). Then We have the old school DSM guys who's cars were/are insane: Bucci's old car (sic),Miguel's car(sic) Jerry's car which is probably the coolest/most potent car i have ever seen in my entire life. So why am I rambling... I guess i am wondering what is so bad with a 12.7 second time slip? Seems pretty respectable to me.

YouTube - Mofo Production- S/C'd Stang vs Civic Evo vs Cobra and more.

Didn't you need slicks on your em1 with just a k series and spray?? How is that good? And it looks like the tire/wheel are sticking out from the fender in this video. Worrying about smashing a fender or cutting a slick open while driving home does not look fun IMO.

Man that was quite a while back..I forgot all about that video.

Edit: Heres one that actually has audio
