k's get low. People just try to protect their investment or they decide to actually race so a slammed ride isn't appropriate

IMO: i think alot of you who have a b series and claim to love the ease of fixing, swapping, building, honestly dont understand. Once you start even a little research, a k series is JUST as simple, alot of people also claim the b series is better, i think alot that say that, are just band wagons, because the k is clearly better! I think money plays a lot of the reason b series "diehards" wont convert! This generation is so "all about now" they are afraid to wait, save, slow down!
Personally saving and funding my k series is fun, gives me the chance to get WHAT i WANT THE FIRST TIME! Also setting higher goals motivates me quite a bit!
All this is just MY OPINION but being a k series fan and realizing its not as expensive as its said to be. I have seen how many b series fans throw the $$$ excuse as there first line of defense! Research!

Very well put.

Im still a d series fan. But for the power to price ratio a k series is the best bet...

that car isnt low in my book, i can tell just from the positioning of his rear lcas.

Function 7. Flip those up and the frame is on the ground

Greg, your car is also not very functional at all, nor could you ever circuit race your car at that height. You even say so yourself, half ass pieces to protect your exhaust, and oil pan, that honestly cant be fun, to any extent, i can understand gettin low for a show or meet, but daily. Thats not practical! Also, for a k swapped car, thats actually pretty low, considering what he has invested.

Good thing you don't drive his car then.

idk if i would say a 1/4 inch strip down the exhaust is really half assing. its a skid plate basically on an exhaust i had made based on being low.

i do say its not practical, but ive only ever broke an o2 sensor before and torn cv boots. and the car actually handles pretty well, with a higher quality tire i wouldnt be against trying to autocross, in only rubs in the rear a little anymore. and ive never not been able to get to where i wanted to, virginia and back in one day with 0 problems. idk why its assumed you have to be slow and cant function, i do mountain runs at school

but anyways my opinion is still not low enough for my taste. its a great looking car and i do like k swaps, just isnt what i prefer. sorry for the off topic

 

[CHILD]

I just wanna see crash! Alex pull off a k swap with get own blood sweat and tears and be a female icon of sorts. Her build now is pretty basic but the way she is going about it makes it awesome, just going ridiculous would be awesome-er lol

Poor Alex. Sorry I mentioned a k-swap . Do yo thang gurly.

Lmao john it's all your fault!

Sent from my civic using a stock engine

 

[crash!]

So.... What you're saying is I can build and build and build a b series that would surpass a somewhat built k series and it still won't be good enough in other peoples eyes?

That's just what I'm hearing. Im not saying that one is necessarily better than the other. Although stock for stock, yes k is superior. Its not money or power I'm out for necessarily, its just what I prefer.

Holy s**t, thanks for the sig lol.

I hear the B vs K debate all the time. Honestly, it comes down to finances in my opinion. Try to get ahold of a FULL k-swap for under $3k. Good luck. I don't want to hear some of you say "OH I CAN GET ONE FOR $1200!" You're full of s**t. I don't care about your "boy who gets dat s**t straight from Japan DAWG. JDM. JDM. JDM. JDM.". K is expensive. They are new engines, in new cars. I remember B's being f**king crazy expensive when I first started tuning (my buddy bought his full b16a2 swap for $2800 in 03, and that was from a buddy of his who shipped it overseas at cost. Ouch.)

B's have years of tried and true research, aftermarket performance, and end-user experience. The K's are just now starting to find their place in the tuner community. Albeit, they ARE more powerful motors out of the get-go (let's not compare the b18c5. That damn thing is expensive and rare as it is), they just haven't had as many people get their hands on them.

I myself am likely going K, but that's because I've had an NA built 12:5:1 b20z that made 200whp, a boosted b18 that made 300+whp, and I've helped my buddies with numerous B builds. They are awesome little motors, and when built right, are damn near bullet proof, but it's time to bring in the newschool, for me anyway. I support Alex' build, and I think her s**t is going to be legit, and will likely stomp on most of you guys (I said MOST.. some of you fools have ridiculous rides), so yeah.. haha.. /endrant

It's nothing about being good enough for anyone but yourself. It's obviously an eye catching build with it going just as you planned it.

its just what I prefer.

I just dish out my opinion.

 

[civicfan111]

I don't always ask for opinions on my build..

But when I do, I think what would child do

Car is looking good crash! I myself am going k in the long run, but I might boost the d for shits durning the summer. I just hate that my frs feels like a rocket ship compared to my civic :/
