Feasability study: 4-door Si conversion

my friend is going to be going back to Iraq and wants to sell me his 2002 Si for dirt cheap, I want to buy it of course but I already have a 01 LX sedan...what I want to know is, is it possible to put all the good stuff from the Si into my sedan, like engine, suspension, tranny, especially the rally shifter, and all that to have the ultimate sleeper. I don't mind doing the work, but I'm not that into heavy frame mods or anything like that...Any info/suggestions are welcome!

(Admins: I don't really know which catagory this should go in, so feel free to move it if necessary)

keep the engine and all the stuff for the swap, then sell the rest of the car.

it'll probably be cheaper just to buy the si engine unless your friend is going to sell you his si for less than $1500

Best advice you'll ever get


Unless you're really die-hard on that Sleeper look


Even then, get some steelies for the Si, paint it primer and put a cracked bodykit on it. Then you'll be the ultimate sleeper!

yeah i would just buy the Si, I mean really their not all that unless you put somehtign more under the hood. I would use it as just a racer for the weekends. Tint the windows 5%, gut the interior, supercharger. You got yourself a nice little 13 second car.

well if you think about it, the sedan and coupe are on the same chassis and share pretty much everything. Besides the outside being a 2 door as opposed to 4 door. So ya it will slide in like two in the pink
