Honda tuning mag

Who else in here saw the new honda Tuning mag? To all of those who said that a K20 swap could never happen[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] they seem to be popping up every where now, at least if you have the cash. Still too expensive for my bank acount. Anyway when I saw someone as reputable as Hasport has done it, it got me wondering why people used the reason " it will never happen, because the K20 and the D17 spin in opposite directions" as a reason why it would never be done. What difference does that make. The wheels would still move forward in 1st - 5th (or 6th as the case may be) and backward in reverse so where is the arguement there?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] Anyway I was just happy to see it had been done. As one last little piece of good news, supposedly Hasport is working on mounts to allow the use of the B-series engine in our cars. Sweet!!!!!!!!

I know that it has been posted and I saw the pictures of houstons civic in here ( by the way his swap was
ghetto) No disrespect he proved that it could be done, but the pictures of the hasport civic are sweet and the swap is clean and safe.

No one said it couldnt happen. I said it was worthless. Why do the swap when 02+ Sis are going for under 15K new in some areas?

Honda guru, the main reasons I would do the swap if I had the money are:
1) RSX engine 200hp, Si engine 160hp
2) New Si hatch is butt ugly.

you said "K20 swap" you never specified which one. And if you are going for looks I would chose a 7th gen coupe or the fugly hatch. im talking about price and practacility. (please excesuse my drunkenm spellings)
