WOW this got bad quick.....best advice is dont buy an RB-anything and drive the ka till it blows (which sounds like you will)....in the meantime DO YOUR OWN WORK on ur car that way you know the difference between blinker fluid and brake fluid....a wise man told me that "knowing ur car is not knowing what it is supposed to do, but what it is NOT supposed to do"...

^that is an interesting saying, although I some what disagree. That promotes learning by fucking up, which gets expensive and tiring very quickly.

to the OP - I am sorry for coming off as a dick. Sorry about harping on your grammar and spelling since I guess english is your second language. But, please realize I jumped because there have been way too many of these dreamer threads to put up with. I have very big aspirations for my car, but If I posted what I am going to do eventually, people will be harping on me because it ha taken me 2 years to get where I'm at, and I'm no where near what I want. Get the idea? Anyways, like I've said before, I truely hope you do make me eat my words, keep us updated man and welcome.

^^i thought the same however explained it is this: when working on your car u get to "know" ur car, in's/out's etc....anyone can turn (well most lol) the key and get to driving fill up the gas tank etc....however truly "knowing" your car is not when its on and running but, its when u start hearing a rattle that it's not supposed to make and know (through research and some experience) that it can be valve guides gone bad, loose dp bolts etc...by no means does this mean to dog the shit out the car etc and intentionally see what happens....but this saying promotes working on your car knowing the ins and outs and knowing what ur car is supposed to do and what it isnt supposed to do....ur brakes are supposed to work u know this but when u brake they aren't supposed to squeal and u also know this therfore u roll up the sleeves and get to work...hope now it kinda makes more sense..

to op good luck on ur swap i have an rb25 myself sitting in my garage accumlating parts to swap it in......again do not rice urs like i have mine and K.I.S (keep it simple)

cheers

Major suggestion... And take it from me, Ive been through 3000+$ motor swaps that never got finished...

Drive the car like it is, put some money aside from every check... Do RESEARCH and I mean like hours and hours of it... Find out what motor you want, then to more research and make sure thats what you want... Then when you think thats what you want, do even more... Then look into what it takes to put that motor in... Once you have all this memorized... Do more research to make sure you didnt leave anything out... As you do all that, you should have a good portion of the money set aside.

Then buy the motor you want, and the rest of the items needed. And go ahead.

Haaaaa you can't just get into cars, buy a 240 and then move into swaping out a KA with an RB...it takes time money and courage and BTW there not easy swaps to do either!!!!

I think you might rice out your car, unless your smart!

just keep the motor you have in it for now. blake babied that car and kept it clean, so i think you should do the same. invest your money on other things. say coilovers and matching wheels.
