Unfortunately on their website they say the k20 is in the civic and the civic type R...they must mean the Si and Type R because it comes ina 160hp version.

Rep Power: 559 why would they need anymore power? that thing is already second only to the enzo as far as the time. when it comes to power, i think that thing is pretty well stocked.

Rep Power: 559 now, if you would have said "imagine that thing w/ a stroked 2.0 miata motor w/ a flyin' miata stage 3 ubercharger on it" you would have had something there.....lol

car has a 600bhp per ton and people are saying it needs more power? 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and your saying it needs more power.
All i have to do is make my car lose 1.5 tons and supercharge it and my car can be that fast

Rep Power: 315 well not sure how you would do the 13b in there seeing how the 13b is setup for an FR layout.. the only thing that would work or be feisible is a transversly mounted 4.9L northstar v8

Rep Power: 304 ^^^ woah hold on a second. I highly doubt that the Ariel is FWD like the CTR. The engine is lifted from a civic, but the rest is all custom build. Much like the lotus uses the celica gt-s engine.

Rep Power: 315 who said anything about being fwd... i just said the motor had to be transversely mounted... the 13b is longitudinally mounted... the northstar v8 is not

Rep Power: 559 this is becoming retarded fast. you cant put a v8 in a car like that, it would totally fu(k up the balance of the car. w/ a v8 it will be so rear heavy that you probably wouldnt be able to drive it, and all that "hp" wouldnt even matter.
