what would something like that cost?
the cost may mean that i have to keep it as a boring grocery getter
that can i get another 200k. but something that doesnt kill me on cost
down the line where i am having to constantly replace the catalytic
converters. i am on the second catalytic converter and the shop says
the current one i have is shot i will have to replace the catalytic
convert and 02 sensors. this model of engine the manifold and catalytic
convert are a single unit which i think was major design flaw. i wish
honda had place the convert inline with the exhaust so when replacement
came i could just toss the convert and get a new one. this is part of
reason i was looking for an engine swap not so much for performance but
lower the total cost if i had to replace converters in the future.
i had more funds i would probably go for the performace upgrade but
then if i had the money i would by and acura!
thanks for the ideas guys i really appreciate the pointers.
