That's not important.

Have we gotten to the point that swaps are not for speed but for show?

Some swaps are for speed, some are for show, others are simply for "wow" factor, which could probably just be considered for show. Anyone who sees a massive V6 plenum sticking out from the hood of a Civic is probably gonna say wow.

I guess the wow is because someone actually did it. Didn't someone swap a 3Si V6 & AWD into a CSM? I think the idea is right, but the execution with the plenum sticking out is wrong. I guess there are worse things you could do to a car.

Its becoming a pretty common swap. Hasport sells everything you need to make it fit and run.

No that's actually super lame. I'd rather have a K-series.

I agree that that's extremely stupid looking. It's true that a K20 swap is 1) easier and 2) faster and more functional. Besides that's not the first time that swap's been done. Look over at honda-tech.com.

The car is actually extremely clean and tastefully done in my opinion, except for the engine. :lol:
