yea but when the swap costs close to 5 grand, you can buy a gst or gsx for that price

thank you mr salts.

It's not your average drop in honda swap. Everything electrical has to be re-ran, old mounts have to be cut off, and new ones welded on in totally different spots. Plus things have to be relocated. You have to get the mounts just right or else you will face axle binding issues. I looked into converting a 99 gs as my daily to a 4g63t monster. Not worth it imo

u cant find clean gsx's for 5k. idk about gst's. and on top of all that. motor mounts are bolted on. u dont have to weld anything. and if u do itd only be one. it probably wouldnt be worth the money in the end but its not soo crazy.

and ya everyone went with the b series cuz its a DOHC motor. the d series is so simple in the end of the honda run, the b could make more eventually with the right mods

I think the wagovans look pretty slick when done right but the fact that it's far from being a "pussy-magnet" in a stock fashion keeps me away from them.

if wagovans were decent, i would have heard about them before tonight, not saying that i am up to date with all tuning activity but they are hideous in my eyes
