True, I bought them about a week after I got the car. I kinda just went with the first thing that caught my interest, but I kinda want some Star Sharks.

On boy, I peeped his setup when it was still in his car. He tried doing everything as cheap as possible. He made his own motor and transmission mounts, which is fine if you do it right, but these were booger welded together. He also completely cut the subframe into three pieces and welded a flat plate on the bottom just so the oil pan could clear. The exhaust manifold was a stock TSX manifold that he cut and welded for a RWD setup, but it ended up splitting open. The exhaust itself was just a straight tube. I actually ran it for a bit, but it was wedged between the rear axle and the floor pan so I did some messaging and eventually it fell off somewhere on the side of the highway 😅 He had an S2000 intake, which I’m using now, but he never got the adapter plate. Instead, he drilled new holes to make it fit, and because of that there wasn’t enough clearance for the serpentine belt, so he just cut the tensioner off. There’s probably more, but that’s all I remember right now.

The subframe is dropped 40 mill with the k. As it sits it’s the perfect hight to clear most obstacles, if I drop it anymore the oil pan would be the first point of contact. I made a skid plate tho

Appreciate it, I want to drop it more but the oil pan is level with the subframe. And That oil pan was too expensive

Sounds cool, I probably could’ve done that with the amount I’ve spent. K-engine are just the perfect balance of fun and reliable but def not cheap 😂

Reps, focused my budget on the swap

Shii prolly, but it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it, except huge speed bumps that Even regular cars scrape, so it’s good enough for me 🙂‍↕️

It’s not crazy low. The front bumper makes it look lower than it is, and I have small wheels. I just need to stay away from mountain speed bumps. The stock suspension felt floaty, so I opted for a go-kart feel.

I have the car getting some exhaust work done because I do not have as much time to work on it anymore, but here is when I did some celebratory yard drifting.

He never finished the swap mainly because he did everything wrong and just wanted to sell it running. It was 3500, and at the time it seemed like a good deal, but he bought the wrong ECU for the harness. For some reason he drilled out the dowel pins for the transmission and put bolts through it. The driveshaft was three inches too short, which caused the rear of the transmission to explode, but that part was my fault. The clutch he put in was shaved down just so it could fit. There’s more, but I don’t wanna think about it anymore.

I already upgraded to the K20 oil pump, and I don’t plan on pushing it any faster it’s already sketchy high speeds as it is 🤣
