Default disrespect or bad as hell

I have had this idea brewing in my head to keep my 8 and when I get back from bud/s I may take out the rotary and drop in an f20c that is what I am wanting to know is disrespectful or bad as hell. In my experience the 8 handles a little better but doesn't put out like the f20. Or I can sell the 8 and when I get back get an mr2 spyder and drop a k20 in that that would be nasty right? Either way it would be Honda powered woot
so either yay or nay on the s2k 8
or just do the k20 spyder

tune the suspension on an S2K and you've got one of the best handling sports cars made. Swapping engines rarely results in a better handling car. That's usually done for power and bragging rights.

in that case I would just get a cr. I was reading an article on suspention for the s2 out of 10 suspention companies the stock cr took 4th or 3rd on track times. The cars that beat it were the spoon race car and a couple others but the cr was bone stock

CR has great suspension right out of the box. No doubt about that.

You can get the CR suspension and put it into any S2K. Ian Stewart is having great success with his track car doing just that. He hunts and catches many cars with well over twice the HP of the S2K.

Quit beating around the bush and get another s2k. You are already convinced!

that's awesome weight distribution, but holy smokes that's a lot of camber up front.

-.05 Toe in the rear. Many people are doing this, why are you doing it?

gives the car a really good bite when you turn in and plants the car really well when you lay in to it. has worked out great for me.

Im lookin foward to trying out my KWs this coming weekend at sebring, trying to get the car set up for the nasa event the following weekend. you should get a group drive together and come down for a day.
