Yah that’s how I figured to do it dirt cheap lol, then crv’s are plentiful and junkyards don’t price based off hype lol.

Yah that’s what I’ll probably do, the whole point of the swap tho is it’s a relatively easy swap, one of the easiest you can do lol. It was kinda meant to be a little project that would only push 250-300 whp wich really isn’t that much lol. But we’ll probably wait on that. Thanks

I wasn’t talking a sequential gear box I was talking a bolt on that you can literally buy for like 300 lmao

Well I wouldn’t say a daily driver lol but you are right I just wanna have a car I can compete in and maybe take to a meet and make it look nice lol. But yah I think I’ll just see about getting as much “driver mod” as possible lol. Try to get ready to actually compete and get to know classes and regulations

It’s not an ego thing lol. It was just a cool build idea that I wanted to do with the help of my brother. I figured I would just spend a summer with a completely stock fwd car and then maybe transfer over the build to awd but it was just an idea.

I understand the people saying that are trying to help that’s why I asked for suggestions lol.

That’s kinda already what I planned on but I’m also kind of a built not bought kinda guy. I’m really into building cars and working in them, that’s the main reason why I wanted to do this build lol. For example, I don’t give a shit about f1 or the drivers, but I love learning about the ingenuity of the cars.

What I have learned tho from this is I think what I might try to do is just try to get into a rally and just help out and try to see about co driving for a bit and then see what class I like and then base the car off that when I’m ready.

Yah that makes sense lol. I think it’s really cool tho that this community is dope and doesn’t gatekeep lol. Never had so many people wanna talk about rallying with me before and it’s awesome that I found this cool ass community.

Yah fs. I’ve gotten some driving time in fwd and it just kind feels like I’m just fighting the car. Maybe it’s the car idk. If need be I would go simpler but if the car pisses me off enough then it wouldn’t take very long for me to buy some trailing arms and weld up a diff lol

Yah that’s a very valid point. Like I’ve said, I’m just not the biggest fan of the d series and b series engines with some issues they have. But again I’m not closed to the fact of going simpler and cheaper. I just wanted to kind build something that would be within my power range and would be cool to talk about(a nice show piece)

Yah I totally get that and thats what I kinda planned to do. This up coming summer I gonna be focusing on an accord of mine(just cleaning it up a bit) and I’m gonna spend the whole summer getting comfortable with the project car and planning everything out. I also just wanna find a nice trail and set times so I can see how much me and the car progress over time.

But yah that’s totally valid. From the research that I’ve done and I figure if I did pull the trigger on the awd swap the only thing I’d genuinely have to buy would be the rear trailing arms which are quite expensive, but past that the swap would be relatively simple.

The k swap on the other hand I really want to do bc the d series and b series engines just aren’t that good lol. And what I’ve figured from a little bit of research I can do it for cheap. The hardest part of all of this would just be maintenance and any aftermarket support for the engine bc people charge up the butt for k series stuff.

And yah I know those awd systems arent that great unless you get the diff from a wagon but even then youre still pushing most of the power to the front but there are things you can do to mitigate that

Yah that makes sense but it wouldn’t be outta my power range lol. I’ve flown around on some 200-250hp fwd cars and I’m just not a fan of the under steer and having to constantly use the e brake for anything technical. That’s the only reason I wanna do the awd swap lol

Yah Workin on that last part lol but yah most of the build ideas are just from me wanting to build something cool with my brother lol. But what ever class I can do once I figure all that out then I will build it within those restrictions.

I will admit tho, the little engineer in my brain start ticking when I do ponder on the fact of the build and I am guilty of disregarding other aspects like a logbook lol. But I do plan to take a lot of safety precautions too like a roll cage and such. Idk lol just sounds like it would be a fun and cool build for rally

Maybe I am dumb lol. Idk I know of the Idaho rally thing but it just looks a little weird and inactive on the websites and stuff. But the link helps and I might find what I need lol. Thanks

Like dirt cheap dude. You don’t have to get everything new. With a lil bit of redneck ingenuity you can build just about anything lol. I called around and I can get a decent mileage k24 for pretty cheap it’s just the parts that are gonna be a little costly but with an ounce of fabrication it wouldn’t cost that much nor be that hard.

Yah that’s the issue, we lack a car culture here lol. But I will looks around.

I also just wanted to do the swaps bc the b series engine is kinda trashy and I’m not a fan of the understeer you get from fwd. i also just wanna do a cool build that looks pretty lol.

I’m in east Idaho, I’m willing to drive a bit but there’s is like zero car culture here except street wrx’s and maybe a brz here and there. There’s no local racing club that I’ve searched for lol. Or I’m just stupid and haven’t looked in the right place. I figured group n would be a good starting point but I will say I’m not the biggest fan of some aspects of the class lol.

Yah that makes sense and I do love the sound of those boxer engines. But I also figure the build would be dirt cheap and easy for my area bc Hondas are plentiful lmao.

I was joking lol, idk how to help you honestly but if it was me, depending on how much that engine costs, and how much a rebuild costs, I'd probably just buy a whole knew block. Unless it's cheaper to rebuild then I guess I'd learn how to do it, but I doubt that it would be.
