RE: Another Question
ok. the spoon motor guy is a tool who watches too much fast and furious. while spoon motors are great, everyone thinks its the be all, end all of honda motors because of the fast and the furious. now, that said, what kind of racing do you plan on doing? drag, auto-x, road (not street, road courses) racing? do you want to go turbo, super, N2O, or all-motor? let me know, and ill see what i can help you with. oh yeah, the all important question. how much are you planning on spending on the motor, power adders and drivetrain?

I am willing to spend about no more than $4,000 on the motor and transmission swap it self and not really sure about the drive train or any thing else until I get the motor part figured out I will figure out about what else I want done.

Spoon motors are really good motors but they are more for road racing and auto x type events. and you wont find a spoon for less than 4000. try inlinefour.com they sell all b series motors for pretty good prices or you could try totljdm.com they also sell motors but they sell every jdm motor you can think of. hope i helped
