I bet if I were funded by someone with deep pockets I could make a better K-swap.. smile.gif

Still like yours, well minus the OBD-2 required emissions test that that year would bring me.

Nice upgrade! I too have been thinking of getting an EP3 or an RSX-S. But I can never get rid of the old girl.

Now all we need is for Wes to get one too and then you can start a website for these!!!!

BTW, I've got a Skunk2 Exhaust that is too loud for me if you're interested.....it's just taking up space in my garage. Make an offer...

Sat in an EP3 today. Loved the shifter orientation! Suprised me, actually, quite comfortable.

Nice pick-up!

horrible k swap. thats the worst K series ever, congrats on the car anyways. it has great potential when that K20A3 is kicked to the curb.

*edit* its a K20A3 not a K20A2 that is in the US EP3.
