dude I think you should have just bought an original rsx vehicle off of craigslist , it would have saved you serious money. but to answer your question if the engine swap was done succesful than yes it is safe to drive

Most cars that have been modified won't last much, considering that they are most likely pushed to the limit with higher than safe rpm.

This is a fair price to pay for a car that is totally souped up. But the problem that you need to deal with is that anyone that spends that kind of money on those kind of modifications has driven the heck out of the car. People don't spend that kind of money to drive their grandma to church. If they have done those kind of modifications to it, you don't know for a fact if they haven't rolled back the odometer. Plus, you still have the 4 bolt axles and weak calipers from an LS Integra. I think that you might want to look at a newer RSX instead.

Sounds good, tegs are sick, and a teg with a k is even sicker! I would check out the company that did the swap to see what kind of work they do, and test drive the car and check it out real well. And after you buy, don't expect to not have any problems, most cars with swaps have something wrong with them.If it's all good, then that's a good deal. Teg's weigh a good bit lighter than RSX's. Plus, it's got a type-r motor, which gives you 20 more hp than a stock rsx type-s.
