I wouldn't be embarrassed by that for a second.

If dudes knew anything about the cars, they would know how much of a PITA/illegality those swaps are.

Plus any dudes just naming off engine names...are not the kind of people I'd want to hang out with.

 

Agreed. One of the aforementioned assured me he could pull off a K20 swap himself, if I wanted...(Right, J's had a tough time with it w/ the JDM version, but this guy in Baltimore has it down.) However, for the innocent people who want to know what's under the hood, it's a little tougher to tell them..."not much".

 

Could just say:

VTEC. iVTEC.
