The 5-lug swap is going to be the giant flashing neon "steal me" sign.

If I picked that up, I'd probably trade it for someone's stockers and cash.

To me, I'd rather own something boring than put up with the hassle and worrying of owning a modified Honda.

So.... I decided to keep my current daily driver and not get rid of my BMW for the K swap EK

Even though the maintenance is going to continue to kill me with my current DD, I could not come to grips with selling my euro car for literally a fraction of the original MSRP in our current market.


So to all those that expressed interest in the car, it's now availbe again on the market. You can send me a P.M for the seller's info. The car is located in Ventura, California which is only a hour & a half from L.A, and approx. 5 1/2 hours away from the San Fransico Bay Area.

I'm sorry but its probably a good thing. U want to come outside and see u car not an empty driveway. My friend got his old civic stolen 2wice and he had alarm and kill switch plus some other thing on it. Most likely the cut the alarm and towed it. PPL would do anything to get those cars. My suggestion get an oldschool SE-R and drop a newer SR20 in it.

Yeah lol that 5 lug conversion is a real eye looker. Especially if you know about Hondas. Considering a lot of EK Type R wannabes still have the 4 lug lol. Other than that i don't think its flashing steal me. Its flashing daily drive me and occasionally go fast. Just like a Evolution.
