i will attempt to remember all that i have spent and all that i have sold
ok so first is the wrecked tsx, that was $2330
the full k20 swap and all misc parts that came with it $2600
the must-need k swap parts( mounts, harness) $1200
thats a total of $6130 total spent
now here is the list of sold parts
b16a swap $950(most of us will have an engine to sell once going the K route)
parts from the tsx( body parts to interior parts) $1105
whole tsx shell $450 + nice rims
thats a total of $2505 sold so far= $3625 net spent
and now i am waiting for someone to buy my k20a2 for roughly $1500 then maybe another $200 for the tsx auto tranny and another $200 for the hood.
$3625- sold k20 @$1500= $2125, then potentially another-$400 =$1725
so there u have it, my breakdown of cost. this is the MINIMUM] required, (at least for me) to get a running k swap, so i dont have kpro, no shiny headers.
i think got lucky finding deals online but if u want to follow my steps, look around on copart.com its an online auto auction website and just look for cars with K's round your area. when i won the bid for my tsx i won it at $1600 but the fees will add up alot which was about $800 worth of fees on top but shit i still got a killer deal with that.
