I hate Honda myself, and I think the sound of farting in a jar blows, but if you like 4 bangers, the new WRX Sti's are great vehicles. Ls1 fbodies are cheap balls to the wall speed; you can pick some up for about 12k with low miles. Bolt ons will net a solid 12 second car. You can make it handle well easily as well with basic suspension parts. Want a project? 80s RX7 V8 swap. Some vendors make kits for them. Old school Datsun Z with 350 small block, or whatever you can fit in there. What I myself would like to do down the road is get a beater car for everyday driving, and a "toy" to work on for the side......any project you wish. A sleeper civic wouldn't be bad. Who cares if "a lot" of people are doing it. Hell, all I see on the streets is rice anyways, slowass cars for the most part. A swap might not be that common, depending what you choose or what you want to put it in.

there are alot of swaps in our area(orlando, oviedo is right next to it) but they are tough on street racing, we have a track 15 mins away. i would also love an old Z to swap a big block in.
