I absolutely love your car man!! Welcome to FitFreak

Let the haters hate...

 

thanks joining this site is long overdue... I have been looking for a nice fit to replace my current daily

 

Very nice S2K Kevos2k, im going to have to find the Mag to read the article.
BTW welcome to Fitfreaks

 

@Kevos2k - Did you drive the S2K from CO to the Homecoming or was it trailered? Wanted to scrutinize your car but was distracted by the Toyo Model.

 

drove it from CO top down the whole way through snow in Vail and 110* heat through death valley the total mileage was right at 2300... i have about 67XX on the swap right now with no major issues.

At sea level the car was so much fun felt twice as fast after I retuned it I was able to spin my 265 starspecs with ease... made me want to move to cali lol

 

DO IT!

So are you gonna be selling the adaptor plate in the near future?

 

I'm working on putting a whole kit together, Adapter plate,flywheel,mounts, and wiring but its a slow process as of now and wouldn't expect anything for sale till mid next year

 

buy mine! heh

 

if i'm understanding you correctly then you can't lump a rwd k-conversion with a fwd; apples to oranges, much? again, what i said about the monumental cost for a rwd k-conversion was in regard to your "rwd k eg/crx" comment. if i wasn't clear before i hope you understand now.

just to clear the air a bit, i understand [now] why kevos2k went with the k24 as his goal is 300+ NA hp. while that wouldn't be the direction i would have went, i do respect the time, research, and investment he put into building his s2k.

 

that is one nice boosted s2k

 

I can compare the two...they fall under the larger category of "car modification." No matter if you're swapping for a CF hood, new rims, or a complete drivetrain conversion....there will always be people who say "that isn't worth the cost." Others won't even think twice about the price. Being different/innovating/being the first is a great motivator.

Some will say the average cost to K-swap (~$8,000) is monumental....to others it's merely the price of admission. Personally, I would love a RWD, K24 EG or EK civic...no matter the cost (time/money) to build it...it would be worth it to me....to me...again - to me....it would be worth it.

TBH, I don't really even remember what the argument was about. Cost is subjective (millionaire vs. high school kid) and arguing about something subjective is pointless. The take home message is - going fast is expensive. You have to pay to K...

 

lol, there you have it. two people on different sides of the spectrum: built vs. bought. you want a k24 rwd eg whereas i'd rather have a 370z. are either of us wrong? i wouldn't think so. at least we can both agree that it's one clean s2k..

good times.

 

The only thing boosting this car is a NA K

 

 

i...j...i need to sell my teg. and buy a rt4wd wagovan...and make it a rwd k24. now. anyone want a 300hp da?? lol sick build, very impressive.

 

Pics of your DA?

 

lol i'll make another thread with it, its nowhere near done yet so shes really beat looking, but yeah i'll link up when i make the thread, not going to threadjack

 

There is a really nice built DA in the same issue of Honda Tuning.

 

hmmm maybe they put the other engine in one of those old British roadsters or something like that, I'm just guessing
