how much of the 300k are you getting? If you get $70k, you can just buy an NSX.

Re: Best of the best

I'm getting my grandma to put into a certificate of deposit rubix, whatever she'll put in she'll be gettin' back 75% of. We figured she'd be puttin' in about a hundred grand so she should be getting about seventy-five grand per month a year after she puts in it because it has to build up and collect interest. While it sounds strange, i'd rather put a NSX engine in her Accord, I consider it a family heirloom. She's had that car since I was 9 years old, so I guess you could say i'm bit attached to old "Black Beauty" as she calls it.

This presents quite a problem, but isn't that modifiable on an engine? I figure if you can modify an engine from an automatic to a standard, than this shouldn't be much different. Then again it's just a theory

I honestly don't think there would be anything in the world that I could do to make you guys understand how I feel in that car. When i'm driving it, it's like I feel a cloak of security over me, a sense of safety. Yeah I know that the secure feeling would probably be there until I crashed the damn thing and died, but as I said it's difficult to explain. And i'm not toying with it, toying would be letting some half-assed mechanic around here try to soup it up and I sure as hell ain't takin' that chance with it. I just feel if one is going to ride in something that's got a shitload of power, it's best that they ride in something they feel most comfortable and safe in.

Shouldn't you be getting technical in this specific forum instead of getting a shop to do it? Theres not a lot of technical stuff to figure out when you just pay someone to do it for you.

Re: Best of the best

actually, since you have the whole shitoad of money thing backing you, call up hasport, get'em to fab up some k-series mounts for you, have a shop swap a k20 into the car, build the engine and boost it, and i figure that'll be about as fast as you can handle.

The NSX Motor will not fit in your accord with that budget. I don't care how much money your grandma's givin ya, its not enough.

The best motor swap for your accord is in fact, NOT the V6.

Your best option is an H22A or F20B

Re: Best of the best

Or a 2003 accord v6. 240 HP. Slap a turbo on with a lot of head work and engine and bam: 500hp. I'm not trying to diss you but a nsx engine in a accord would cost such a ridiculous amount of money that you might as well buy a porsche 911. Would go a lot faster than you accord.....

BAM! It's just that easy!
You're a fucking moron.

For the money-leeching homo with the V6 96 family sedan, dude, you have no idea how much money you're about to waste on that thing if you actually go through with it.. if you aren't just lying about all this money in the first place.

Even if the car has a lot of hp, who the fuck cares.. it's still going to be a big boring front wheel drive sedan. Sell the Accord and take all that money and buy a rear wheel drive sports car, then go from there. It will cost less in the long run and be 10x more fun. I've been building my fwd Civic and the only thing running through my head all the time is "it sure would be nice to get some grip on launches" or "I'd love to take this turn a bit sideways without the e-brake".. etc etc.

Or, you could save all that money for real life shit like put it in the bank for a down payment on a house later.. Just some shit to think about, instead of being immature and blowing it all on an automobile with hardly any possibilities.
