Re:New Civic type-R
Its not like the D was some great motor that deserved praise. They're replacing the B with the K which is a huge step up. I say if improvements can be made than in with the new. IMO all Honda's are ugly as ----. They only become less ugly when we get used to them. The EF is an ugly ------- box, that the EG is an ugly ------- egg on wheels, the EK isn't too bad but it ain't no Enzo, and the whatever the new one is is a ------- minivan.

Well, if all of us on the site had one K series motor, we'd all be living in our cars, and the one K series that we had wouldn't be in pieces while we're playing/tweeking/upgrading it.
The D and the B made honda what it is. If they wanted to bring something better out that would be fine (like a K in the accord or something) but to just axe the D and B is stupid IMO.
W/E, when is your traction bar write up coming. I'm making one foe sho'. (and I'm waiting on you)

Give the K series some time, they'll eventually get cheap, they're just too new. And with the more K-series comming out the GSR motors will become cheaper. And its not like there will ever be a shortage of B and D series motors so who cares that they stopped producing them.
And the traction bar setup will be done hopefully before new years but I'm not making any promises. I got most of the parts at home, my finals are next week and I go home next weekend to get started on it. So hopefully before New Years

The D series today is what the A series was years ago. Eventually we will all look at D's with disgust, buy B series for dirt cheap and pay a few G's on a K series swap.
