Damn man, i wish i could afford that k-swapped Si you have. Someone would only be paying 500 more dollars for a damn Si shell AND the installation. My problem is i already have a car payment(03 Rsx Type S) and would need someone to take those payments over. O well, i will get one eventually, Again Awesome price for the si man.
EDIT: Just looked at your other thread. 8950 for the whole damn car. AND it still hasnt sold. WTF, if i didnt already have my car, no questions. That would have been sold lol. I know people say that alot on here but Im not a bullshitter. You are GIVING the car way.

Good guy, get off his back...he's right these swaps can get expensive..but like he said you can get luck and find the swaps and parts cheaper...labor on the other hand is not all that important if you know what your doing....I DID A KSWAP in a EG two days ago and it wasn't as hard as people make it out to be...but on the other hand that's because I know a lot about what im doing and i had a welder on hand and all the nessasary help...for all the techs out there...this swap is 100% worth the sweat and blood put in...but like he said its not a swap that can be knocked out like that if you don't have money. GL WITH EVERYTHING!

Well, this guy is right, if you are going to take out the labor involved and do it yourself, shop around for used parts, use the cheapest stuff available, and have a fire extinguisher on hand at all times. Anything can be done cheaper if you have the connections. You got a friend at Hasport? You're good. You got a kid who just wrecked his car? You're great. You bought a k pro on ebay? You're stupid....
Now, i got 3 swaps at my shop, one in a car and 2 wrecked rsx type s...(got one in this week with 60k miles). I didn't pay $4500 for the wrecks, so that's how i do this cheaper. Remember i can sell or use the bodyparts of the car ... leather seats, wheels, airbags, doors, rear hatch all fetch really good money. The wrecked car also comes with stock shift linkage (that's a little change saved).
So Mr. Sandos is correct is saying you can do this swap cheaper. I'm sure he's got all the connections to do it. and i'm sure he own's a k swapped car, a shop, makes lots of money and gets all the girlies.....right?

9k for the whole swap to be done???
This swap is soooooo easy guys, hate to mess with this guys FS thread, but that motor and all his goodies should be no more than 5.5grand with all thats listed. He didnt even include fuel goods for the swap. So whats that? 3.5k plus a tranny for him to install it?
This swap like i said is really easy to install, the wiring harness is so easy to install(at least R crew) you solder in 5 wires to the stock civic engine harness, and then connect the plugs from the stock OEM motor harness form the k20 motor to the jumper harness. Its either 2 or 3. Then throw in the motor, setup the fuel lines to your fuel rail and plug in the ECU to the jumper harness/engine harness dangling at the stock ECU location, start up the car and go!
Only thing thats sorta a bitch is drilling our the stock pass. mount and putting in 2 holes. Other than that this swap is all plug and play.
Edit: Also i am just saying this to protect those that are uninformed, I am a moderator at K20a.org and i have had this swap done to my old car, since early 2005. People used to ask what shop did it, LOL no one has any idea how easy it is.
