I was planing to do a swap earlier this year, but ran into finacial difficulties. So I will hopefully be getting one early next year.
Lets just say it'll be a 1.8L DOHC VTEC. 
As for not liking the Mugens, I dunno, I don't understand how someone who doesn't even know the difference between real, and replica can even judge. LOL Whatever, I didn't buy them to have everyone like them.

Who gives a f**k? Don't get pissed off because I don't like your rims. My opinion is my opinion. Whether or not I can tell the difference between real Mugen rims and Rota replicas is irrelevant. To me, they're ugly as f**k, it's as simple as that.JDM_EK3 said:
Apparently I've ruffled your feathers or else you would've let it go at my first comment and just played it off as a simple matter of opinion, rather than berating my apparent inability to distinguish the difference between authentic Mugen rims and their Rota replicas.
I have 15" Konig Greenlights. Hey, would'ya look at that? They kinda resemble Mugen MF10s... but I wouldn't expect anyone to call them that, nor would I give a f**k if they called em knockoffs... big whooopdie doo...

ok. car looks nice. very clean. but i'll leave now and get away from the e-discussion of rims...
As a sortof middle of the road here, I appreciate the rarity and "ooo" factor of the mugen rims, but sometimes those rims get hyped up. GL with the engine swap, I know funds are hard to come by sometimes. And youre not foolin anybody with that "axleback." I know its only a canister because you want a different engine, but you dont have to dress it up.
Everything else is seriously great, the suspension especially. How do you like that broadway mirror? Does it actually help you see better?

JCV2000: Nah man it seriously is an axelback muffler made by Type ONE Racing. 2.3" piping if I'm not mistaken. I plan to purchase the Type ONE Racing B Pipe sometime this year.
turbo95eg6: Kind of, I was on there for maybe a week. :p
nd4sped: Nobody said you had to like them. As I said I never purchased them for people to like. I think they blend nicely with the overall car. I'm glad you think there expensive, when there really in all honesty not that bad. That's what makes them Mugen, and not Rota.
Man this forum is fun, almost as bad as Honda-Tech. LOL

Personally I like your car....but I think your a idiot...Never said I had to like them either....I would like to have a set of MF 8's if they wrent $500+ each..Spending that much for rims is f**king stupid. .......My OZ Superleggera's are half that price and weigh about the same and mine are 17's. Plus if you came on here to argue...Then leave....otherwise stop being a d**k head and enjoy the stay.JDM_EK3 said:
nd4sped: So lets get this straight. I'm an idiot because I want to spend MY money, on rims I wanted to purchase? You enjoy your 17" OZs which you can purchase a set of 4 off of eBay for under $500 USD. I personally enjoy my nearly mint oldschool Mugen RNRs that flow nicely with the rest of my car. Not only do you look like an idiot, as does your little photoshopping buddy for making a huge deal out of someone elses rims, but you just contradicted yourself. You stated earlier that Mugen rims were only $390, but yet they mysteriously raised in value over night to $500. So make up your mind, as I would rather spend the extra money to own something genuine, then something made in Taiwan.
Thats kindof a dumb thing to say. I mean, whats the difference btw a stock oil cap and spoon oil cap? Stock cap plain and common, spoon expensive and rare (to actually see on a car). Neither has any real performance aspect right? Well whats the f**king difference btw rota and mugen rims? Neither has ANY REAL PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE. The weight difference is so slight theres no possible chance for you to notice, and its not like the rotas are of poor quality. So...RiceBoy said:Yeah... this coming from a dumbass that paid $70 on a Spoon OIL CAP.
