Your friend just wasted alot of money on headers, cams, super cool ITB's and K-pro for power levels that are considered normal for your $800 HMT kit. Bottom line, the K-swap is not practical pricewise yet

Gimme the *exact same* chassis and swap drivetrains and un-biased driver between them. There are your 10's, Josh. Now, since you are dissing me + the Pinksfest for BOTI, PM greenkey trick. Thanks.

Just a little too pricey right now. As others have mentioned, for the same price you can build a B series that would rape it and still would have gas money left over. I've watched the price climb from $4500 on jhpusa to $6500 last I checked. Ridiculous.

It wont go down. Why sell low when the hype is high. For the 20 year old kid who wants an all motor car that you just bolt on some ---- and go drive it well worth it to them. For the guy makin 30k and livin to live well turbo d will always be the choice

omg if its all motor it'll make peak torque and power off of idle?
Dude its a 250hp car with 200 lbft of torque, for the price paid, thats not impressive to me at all no matter what kind of stippped down tin can you put it into.

Its a pretty labour intensive swap, but if you have everything ready to rock its not to bad
its a tight fit in the EG platform, so i can imagine it being even tighter in a crx.
Ill see if i can get some pics posted of it.
