With all the K-series swaps that'll be going on in the near future with 06+ civics, I wonder if it isn't too bad of an idea to swap an r-series motor (the 140hp vtec engine in the standard 06 Civic model) into a Fit. I was an EK/hybrid owner (97 HX with B18C1) and used it as my daily driver for 4 years and about 130k miles. I loved every on-ramp and stop light. The 115hp to 180hp jump was quite a treat, and it would seem that I'd get just as much of a kick out of 140hp in my Fit. Plus it made the car worth that much more when I sold it. (got $4000 for it and the odo read 309k)
Granted this will not happen any time in the next 3 years as I want to get at least 100k out of the current drivetrain (yeah, I drive that much) but who knows there might be an 06 DX with a trashed rear-end with my name on it.
Whatcha think?
