no no no no.. i was just putting out options.. its your ride.. do whats feasible to you.. the KA was feasible to me because they were a dime dozen at one point i had 3 spare motors and gave them away lol.

 

yea i wish i could keep the ka honestly cause i have worked on them for years. i could rip one apart and rebuild it in no time. but i have been lookin for a ka for about 2 months now and can't find one anyone that this over 5 hrs drive for me. which is why i was looking into swaps. i just dont want a swap that will not be the best for a drift car. cause i honestly have no knowledge of sr or rb just some of there stats and sr are more popular.

 

well to be honest.. the swap will put you in a greater bind.. if you cant come by KA's and parts easily, you will have a rougher time with swaps.

 

i dont have a problem finding ka parts its just the motors i have the problem with. cause mine right now has 2 holes in the block. but i see what your saying. i dont know what to do lol. i need to get this thing going somehow, do you know of any good sites that sells ka-de motors rebuilt or anything like that?

 

 

weight makes a huge difference if i recall, people who drag say every hundred pounds you can shave off that is .10 of a second off a 1/4mile time. but i know jackshxt about drag

 

Have you tried Craigslist, Ebay, and Googled it? Shipping is possible too so you don't have to drive to pick it up. 5 hrs isn't that bad of drive though...especially if you have someone to share the driving with or to atleast keep you company. Keep the KA in it. Just my 2 cents.

 

how many events have i done? I usually try to do at least 3 to 4 a year but since my car is down I haven't done any this year yet. I say in all I have prolly hit up 10 events in the last few years only been at it for 3 years started when i was 20.

 

oh and yea i have checked everywhere the only motors i see are the ones that are local pickup. i havent checked in the last week or so but i have been lookin for months.

 

Than there are some lazy sellers out there for sure. I know if I wanted to sell something, I'd do what ever I could for the person... at their expense obviously for shipping. Then again, I'm nice like that. hahaha

 

yea well these days with the economy everyone is out for themselves for the most part and no one wants to lose money from gas or what not. this is the whole reason i am looking into the rb swap. but who knows i gotta make a choice fast though cause i have most of the money for a 25 swap but if i stick with a ka i am puttin my money into other stuff in the car.

 

My question to you...how hard will parts be to find for the RB20 as compared to the Ka?

 

i mean i have no performance shops or anything around here really. parts for ka or rb swap are hard to find and usually have to order offline. so i guess they would be even on finding parts. i wouldn't mind going back to a ka-de but i am having no luck finding one. i am going crazy cause i can't drive it lol. it don't bother me as much as long as something is going on with it. but right now it sits with nothing to do lol.

 

well you will have to do what a large amount of us do... order and then sit on your door step until the part comes lol.

 

Yeah... I am still waiting for my stuff. Ordered it 3 weeks ago.
