1) The bottom line is this - the K series is NOWHERE near as practical - no matter how much money you make. Will it get there? Sure. But that time is not right now - we still need a million more ricers to crash their RSXs and Acuras The ONLY people that think the K makes sense financially are the people that are building one and eating Ramen Noodles everyday. TOday you can build a K Killer for MUCH less than it takes to source and build a K-swapped car - PERIOD.

2) Even though I said the above, BUILD WHAT THE FUCK you want to build. As long as you build it for you who cares - I've been called stupid for building and "all-motor" B18B (when it's not even an ALL-MOTOR setup - it was built as a nitrous car from the jump) but I haven't lost to 1 VTEC car yet since getting my gearing dialed in (yes there are plenty on this board that will smack my ass if I'm off the gas).

3) The K series guys feel that they have to defend their purchase/direction when in reality they don't. I don't know why we get into this shit. You don't have to defend Hondas - you don't have to defend the direction you take - just roll with it.

4) Stop bench-racing on a setup that hasn't even hit the rollers yet. Sometimes saying less is more bc you get to save face later. Even though you may make more power on the rollers if you sit down with Jones then that more power/torque could be your curse as you are spinning and he is winning. There is only so much traction to be had FWD --- I'd much rather just reduce the weight of the car than to keep searching for TQ - but what do I know, I've only been doing this shit for 16 years.

Happy hunting.
