K20a Doner or Internet

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.

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.
