I have an 05 civic dx manual. I have been planning to put in a jdm k20a, but I won't be able to do it for about two more years because of financial issues(ie i have no money), plus I want to keep my warranty until it runs out in two or so years. I also have a five year loan on the car that is still being paid off by my parents.
So, i was wondering if I could get a few opinions from you guys. Do you think it would be better to do the k20 swap in two years, or just save my money and try to sell my car for a nicer one like an sti or s2000(pending someone buying my car and me having enough to buy a nicer car). I've also heard that the k24 is a good swap.

Swap to a a2 then boost it.

Sell it... buy an STI but not the new shitty looking ones rather the pre 2008 ones. That or just upgrade to the Si come trade in time.
