Who ever broke in just trashed the place. The guy who agreed to split rent with me decided to move to Arizona. This is going great and not at all a huge disaster.

I'm making Honda K series swap for RWD cars and want to see why I got this K24A2 for $250?





It's gunked to poo poo and ate something on the inside. Sorry no pics of the shop because it's just poo poo stacked everywhere. I'm still working 58hrs a week (minimum) at work so I don't really do much but sit in the office and think about the mistakes I've made in life.

Better to K a FWD Celica(pick a gen, any gen) than a Corolla, the lost sleeper factor is more than made up for with the massively better rear suspension.

Uh yeah that will work too :)

Anything but the stock motor, and no point putting a 4AGE in it unless you were gonna build a GTS clone or something.

No doubt. Pretty much anything slightly modern will put out more power than the 4AC, and the 4AGE is not terribly cost-effective (especially when it's not not plug-n-play because it's not an EFI GT-S) nor a powerhouse. Plus, finding a RWD 4AGE is slightly difficult, and if you're going to have to mod an engine to get it in there anyway, why bother with stock-ish?

Yeah I've had a few 4AGEs in my long list of cars, none of them RWD, but they were definitely nothing to write home about although better than a carbed single cam. A modern 4cyl swap is a great idea for older RWD cars, hell I've been pretty impressed with the 2.4 2AZFE in my xB, that would make a great donor too I think, but the Honda K seems like the best supported out there right now. Lotta Miata people going with K swaps lately.
