I have 1k saved for my k20a. Now I need to know what you think would be cheaper or better. Should i get a doner rsx-s and swap seats, engine, blah blah blah.

or should i just order the engine off a website on the internet.

i think they cost about the same...

and can someone explain what a RSX Subframe is.

sometimes a clip is cheaper than getting just the motor by itself. rsx subframe is the part under the motor that holds it up in place.

you should get a doner car, yes it will probablly cost a little bit more, but all the parts are there... also, u get the subframe for sure, if u go on the internet, u have to go thru the hassle of checking if it has the subframe and if not, the hassle of running around to find a suitable one u can use

It's spelled Donor.
I'd wait for a donor so I can do a full interior, 5-lug and engine swap.
5 years gentlemen. In 5 years.

i think i'm gonna do a swap once my warranty runs out, so 2 more years.

look on www.hondaautomotiveparts.com for the civic SI subframe. it costs like 450 or so brand new, so it won't be too bad to purchase by itself, either way.
