i am thinking about selling my Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T (turbo) and getting a Honda Civic for some reason lol but before i buy one i am wondering why i always see people with Civics do motor swaps? is it just for a bigger engine or is their something wrong with the engines that come in them?

Are you serious? Okay, there is nothing wrong with the engine that comes in them, but some people are not happy with the power there stock engine puts out. If that is the case, you can do a swap. For example. You could buy a 98 hatch back, and put the 99/00 si engine in it, (the 99/00 si was only avalible in coupe) This would give you less wieght, and more power.

Exactly bigger engines in lighters cars = faster speeds. Not everyone does it but most of us here like the speed. Also a majority of us didint get our civic to haul grocerys in we bought them to rip them apart and make them original to our own appeal.

I still have my stock D16Y8, and I won't swap it. To me, the engine is the soul of the car; that's what makes it a 97 Civic EX. Change whatever else you want, but don't touch my engine. If I want a DOHC, I'll buy a car that comes with one. Don't worry, Eclipse. The engines are fine for most purposes. I do like speed, but if 125 mph isn't fast enough for you, you may want to look into the swap.
Just my 2 cents.

you are such a fag.
Why swap when you can be pulling these kind of numbers

Not everyone wants to swap and is inclined to. You can get a lot of power out of d-series motors. The B-series have a lot more potential, but I think I would be happy with 400 hp on a SOHC motor.

Are you serious. How does that work. I called him a homosexual, he used the word fag wich is a derogatory term for homosexual. So either he is the one being banned, or the mods show favortism towards homosexuals. Besides, my friend ace$sniper said that this forum is like prison, you have to pick out a weak member and make them your bitch.

WTF? Listen, I'll applogize if he does, but this forum is used to voice our opinions and try and help others. In my opinion, you shouldn't listen to Kafziel, and GScivic7. True the D-series can provide power, but look what you have to go through to get it. It would make much more sense to swap and build from there. Again my opinion.
PS. I have nothing against homosexuals.

^^ he just asked a question, he didnt say he wants to swap he wanted to know WHY we do swaps. Who knows what this guys wants to do with his cars. I doubt he knows all that much if he is asking a question like this. You are now my bitch.

Actually, I answered the the youg lads question. In fact I was the first person to help this eager honda lover. Did you bother to read the entire thread, or did you just decide to play big brother. Besides, I looked at your last project. I wont flame, but I saw it was a Neon.

ok every one lets stop all of this nonscence.
and get the sand out of your pussies. lol
yes many people like to do engine swaps
honda makes great engines and they are very reliable. some people just have more money to spend to put a bigger engine in for more
"potential power"
