I do not want to sell the car because I have invested too much. If someone is serious enough, PM me. Just to give you an idea of how much, the sale price is set at $22,000.00.

What am i looking for in trade? An S2000, however I am open to all offers though (luxury, 4 doors), feel free to PM or email me with what you have.

This is going to be a long post, but rightfully so as I want you guys to understand the amount of work and money it took to built this car the right way. Ive been looking for a new car to start as a project, I just finished this one from the winter that just passed. I want to get back into Audis as I love my B5 A4, but I want something newer.

Open to all trades, trades + cash, just please PLEASE make it reasonable. No lowballing, there is no rush in selling/trading this car. I paid cash for every part (which I will list for you guys).

We all know parts dont really add to a value of a car, unless youre an enthusiast and you appreciate what those mods are.

Especially if they are tastefully done.

Let me give you the details about my car. I pieced everything together just last winter. My goal was to build a 1) fast 2) reliable daily driver for work. I havent had a Honda in years, so I scooped up a DC2 (just like the 1st car I ever owned). Here are the specs:

1994 Acura Integra Chassis -- I picked this shell up off a friend. Cost me literally $700, someone tried swapped in a B18A1 setup (yes, cable tranny) and couldnt get it to work. Idiots. I pulled everything out of this car, the body was straight and thats all I needed. Everything in this car was ripped out: the seats, carpet, headliner. This car was gutted and then prepped for paint. It was painted a custom color similar to Phantom Gray, but with flake. The roof was painted VW R32 Black Magic Pearl, as was the OEM Type R Spoiler. The body looks stunning.

-OEM Type R Spoiler ($100)
-OEM 98+ Front bumper w/ headlights ($200)
-OEM 98+ Rear bumper ($100)
-OEM side skirts ($300)
-OEM USDM Type R front seats ($600)
-OEM USDM Type R cluster ($250)
-OEM USDM red stitched shift boot ($25)
-Red carpetting (similar to JDM CTR carpetting) looks amazing =] ($200)

The car itself came up clean on Carfax, however the title was lost sometime ago. In Rhode Island, any car older than 8 years can be registered on previous registration and bill of sale, so I was able to register it no problem.

In December, I contacted Trick Engineering (trickengineering.com to see their work). They are one of the most meticulous and skilled car shops on the east coast. Period. I paid a real pretty penny for them to install and tune the following:

2007 Civic Si K20Z3 (bought in NY state from a kid who wrecked his Civic sideways--how i dont know ) Approx. 5k on the motor to this day. ($4000)
2002-2004 RSX Type S engine & charge harness ($400)
Hybrid Mounts ($550)
2004 RSX Type S ECU ($300)
RSX Type S Axels ($400)
Karcepts Mounting Kit ($160)
Buddy Club DC5 Shifter Box ($135)
Karcepts AC & PS Removal Kit ($200)
Karcepts RBC IM Adapter ($70)
Hybrid Racing Conversion Harness ($350)


Power mods:
R*Crew Race Header ($650)
KTeller 3" Exhaust Pipe Kit ($400)
Apex'i WS2 3" Muffler ($150)

Blueprint Stage 3 Cams ($700)
Blueprint Stage 3 Valvetrain Upgrade ($300)
Aeromotive FPR ($150)
BDL Fuel Rail ($100)
Acura RDX 440cc Injectors ($100)
K20tuned -9an Stainless Steel Fuel Lines ($150)
BDL 70mm Throttle Body ($350)
K20tuned Custom DC2 RBC 3" CAI ($150)
Clutchmasters Stage 4 Clutch w/ 8lb Flywheel ($800)
KPro ($1000)
Skunk2 6 Speed Shift Knob ($50) =P

...and finally, the suspension.

99 Civic Si wheels ($200)
Falken Ziex 912's ($200)
Koni Yellows & Ground Control Coilovers ($1000)
JDM Type R 23mm Rear Swap w/ Beaks Kit ($150)
DC Rear Strut Bar ($150)

Edit -> Viper alarm system ($500) and A Pioneer/Type-R component speaker/400watt amp setup to boot ($1200).

I know I am missing a few parts here and there, but thats pretty much a rough estimate. ~$17520 spent in parts alone, give or take. Receipts are on hand to show proof of purchase, and 98% of all these parts are **brand new**.


After all said and done, the bill at TE Automotive came to $6800. So it cost me $22620 to build a K20 swapped Integra.

Is it worth it?

The car makes one of the best powerbands for a N/A Honda. It is a unique swap because not many people know how to swap over the newer drive-by-wire Honda
motors yet. Here are the numbers:

-250whp/170wtq
-Car is built to rev to 10,000 RPMs safely, if need be.
-Factory block, if you do internals + compression will make over 280whp N/A. Or sell the cams and go turbo.
-Its not a new car, but Ive made it into a new machine. I know what the engine has been through, everything is almost new. Never abused, I dont even race it. I hardly hit VTEC because all I do is go to work (40 highway miles round trip). I dont have to tell you how nice a 6 speed is for gas mileage.

Everything was installed by reputable professionals.

Ill try and get some pics up, Im slightly busy for the next few days getting ready for my trip to Key West next week. Ill try and upload the dyno graph so you can see what youre getting into. I will PM the VIN of the chassis and the k20 engine to anyone that asks.

Contact me at graffiti1003@hotmail.com and mark.c.misiak@citizensbank.com ... send an email to both, one is personal email the other is work.


Edit > VSS works perfect. Tach and speedo work like factory parts. The K20Z3 swap is limited and rare, and this car is one of the few that have pulled it off using all the factory parts.

Dakota Digital converter... Tach/Speedo all work 100% fine. This is a rare swap, and even more rare to use the factory K30Z3 tranny housing and VSS.

I posted this thread orginally as a feeler, but yes youre absolutely right. Thank you for the help.

That price is just an example of how much work and money was put into the car. Im not looking for any money back, so thats why i listed it as that much. Because only that price would make any sense of me selling the car for cash.

Show me your trades!

$23000 not including body work and paint. I dont care how it works, if someone doesnt have a car to trade, they can pay me that price. There is no official market value for a k swapped car. They require tons of money and precision. You cant really blue book a value, so whos to say what theyre "supposed" to go for?

If you dont like it, too [freak]ing bad. Keep your comments to yourself, or at least TRY and show me a car cleaner, faster, or more reliable. 250 whp N/A, this thing destroys any k swapped car for sale, and all parts have less than 1000 miles on them. Even the motor has 5k total on it. You cant beat it.

Looking to trade for an evo, sti, anything clean. I can also throw in cash if the car is nice enough.

Pics up in the next few days just got back in from keywest.

Actually his parts list is comparable to mine, except he did a turbo setup on a B-series, whereas I have a naturally aspirated K swap.

If he asked for more I wouldnt be surprised, except maybe hes desperate for money and Im not.

He priced it to sell faster, im in no rush I dont need the money. I just get bored with cars really fast.

Edit > "im selling it becuase im looking to get a car thats a bit more low key and since im going back to school in fall as a full time student i could REALLY use the cash.. "

If you guys dont stop posting this nonsense im reporting you.
