Go eg man. Its way easier to drop into, the engine bay loves K series. Not to mention less weight

What car do you like better? Hybrid and k tuned will have just about everything you need. Both swaps are common in the states

^ :) w0RD!.

Op, while its such an opened ended question on which chassis would be great to do a Kswap.
The more pressing question to ask yourself is how much your willing to spend on doing the coversion. As there is alost of basic options and then a kswap with upgrades.
Cheaper route vs more expensive.

From what i have seen over the years you almost save alot more buying a Honda that has a KSwap in it than doing it on your own.
Older chassis are alot lighter and will prove to be alot of fun in the power to weight department.
But then the older the chassis issues like hood clearance may need to be rectified.
Needless to say there is always kswap being done so you going the right path!.

Please elaborate on why this chassis is a good choice for K swap

em1 ftw! coupes are more structurally stronger as they have a solid rear parcel shelf so no need for any rear x bracing :D

that makes a kswap that much better !

haha depends what your looking for with the kswap. if its for time attack or circuit then EG without a doubt. alot lighter smaller, easier to manuevor trhough. BUt its your car and your swap. Do which ever you prefer.

So he already has a K20 Gen3 CRX?

Why bother swapping to a new chassis? If you find a lighter chassis you're better off just stripping weight off the Gen3 surely.

It's like a SIGMA 5 confidence;

If someone was going to do this, it's likely they'd be known not just to the forums, but specifically to Gee!
