Rep Power: 0 You can't put an older model year engine into a newer model year car! Not legally at least.... Your insurance company sure as hell won't insure you....

I'm giving Honda a call today and writing them a letter. We'll see what happens.
I'm also getting prices for a B16A5 and a '98 GSR swap. It's looking reasonable so far, but I haven't gotten firm estimates yet, just guesses.[hr]

its kinda funny how you learn about something in business school and then you see it play out in real life.
havent you wondered why the warrantee is only for 36k miles and then for some "strange" reason your car starts having more and more problems? i know honda is pretty reliable as far as that goes, and i didnt think they did this, but many companies engage in a practice called something like "specified lifecycle engineering" or something like that...i forget the exact buzz word. the parts of the car are designed to break after a certain time. its a shady practice, but it keeps people buying new cars or paying for replacement parts.
perhaps honda isnt as reliable is it once used to be.[hr]

$3000 Sounds like a lot. My mom had the tranny in her 93 Maxima rebuilt and it was a little over 1000. But that was also at 110K. I'm really surprised that auto trannies are blowing in 40K miles. I hope the manuals are lasting longer.

Rep Power: 0 My manual will prolly need a new 2nd gear from all the grinding that goes on due to the crappy recalled bushings! I'm still waiting for my replacements but they are on 'recall'. What a load of BS.

buzz words: planned obsolecence
I've also thought it was weird that "ultra-reliable" Honda's get 36K/3yr. warranties, while "POS" Hyundai's get 100K/10yr. warranties.
I put "ultra-reliable" and "POS" in quotes because Honda's aren't ultra-reliable and Hyundai's aren't POS cars...that's just what people like to think about them.[hr]

Rep Power: 0 you dont have to worry about putting an older motor into a new car. I know lots of people who've done that, ex. 95 Civic with 93 Prelude motor. As long as I can get it smog checked (pay under the table for that).. then i can insure/register it w/o a problem.
