i've seen type S go as low $7900. In terms of comfort, i thought it was more comfortable then my em2.

The only way the swap would be legal would be with a 2001 Integra motor...the motor needs to be the same year or new than the car (Correct me if I'm wrong). An LS motor (non-VTEC), is pretty inexpensive, but not really worth the upgrade, so you'd be best off with a GS-R (B18C1, VTEC) if you're seriously considering it ($1200+ longblock). A Type-R motor would be best, but at the cost you're better off with a K. Honestly, unless this is a project and you are a capable fabricator, it's really not realistic unless you're willing to fork out a lot of cash just to be different.

Also, there are no mounts available, and there would probably be a lot of custom wiring needed.

guys im not sure the rsx bandwagon is best. If you're under 25 you cant get realistic insurance on an rsx. My car nearly got written off and I was considering getting an rsx. I woulda prolly got 6grand ish for my civic thats stripping off the mods and the insult of what insurance values my car at and a decent used type s (in canada) would cost me probably 10grand. Now i have tein flex so the suspension would carry over to the rsx. I'd be able to trade my wheels pretty much straight up for a set of 5bolt. Then say I get my rsx-s, im only 18 years old and i have a perfect driving record. My insurance premium would be 450/month compared to my current of about $275. thats an extra 175/month or $2100/year thats assuming they will actually insure me. Insurance pretty much laughed when i told them i was looking at an rsx-s. So im 4grand extra to go up to an rsx +2100/year. My insurance rate wont drop till im at least 21 so thats 3 years. So thats 6300 difference in just insurance + the original 4000. Thats $10300. Im pretty sure i could have a kswap, kpro, and some decent engine mods done to my car for 10300. Given that i kept my car, insurance covered most of my new paint job so my exterior is mint. I have a lipkit and tons of exterior mods and interior. It just seems like a better route to go by kswap in my car. Hell for 10300 i could prolly have a k24 frank swap and decent money towards a supercharger kit or something that puts down serious numbers. Anyways thats just my opinion
