This car was not for sale but was parked at a house close to where I live. I left notes to have them call me if they wanted to sell it. They never called. One day, I saw someone in the yard, so I pulled in. He eventually agreed to sell me the car. It only has 42,000 original miles. I don’t ever leave a vehicle I own alone. It started as just a suspension and chassis refresh, but I quickly decided I wanted to redo the whole car. There are only a few bolts left that I haven’t touched. Everything else has been replaced or reconditioned. I did everything myself in my single bay garage except for laying down the paint and clear coat on the engine bay, fabbing the exhaust, and the dyno tune.
Full chassis & suspension replacement:
- Hardened bushings
- TruHart adjustable rear camber arms
- TruHart adjustable rear toe arms
- TruHart lower control arms
- DC Sports front and rear upper strut bars
- Ground Control sleeves with Koni Yellow shocks
- Progress rear subframe brace and rear sway bar
- KTtuned upper control arms
- KTuned lower control arms
- TruHart compliance bushings
- New OEM front sway bar bushings
K swap:
- Partially shaved engine bay
- Tucked chassis
- K20A2 with matching trans
- 65k miles on the drivetrain
- MFactory LSD
- 4.7 final drive
- Skunk2 Ultra Street intake manifold
- Hybrid Racing CAI
- Hybrid Racing fuel lines, rail, FPR
- Radium fuel filter
- Manual steering rack
- HASport mounts
- Deutschwerks 650 injectors
- Deutschwerks DW340 fuel pump hardwired
- CSF K swap full radiator
- Custom made tucked engine harness
- Hybrid racing conversion harness
- PRB ECU with Hondata KPro v4
- Skunk2 Alpha header
- Full 3” v banded exhaust
- Vibrant bottle resonator
- Ktuned turndown muffler
- Hybrid Racing no cut shifter cable inserts, and detent springs
- Acuity cable bushings
Wheels/tires:
1. SSR GTV02s 15x7 +35 on Continental ECS 205/50/15
2. Konig Hypergrams 15x7.5 +35 on Falken Azenis RT660 225/45/15
I have some dash gauges to put in that will be mounted in the radio position. JDI ghost box. I am also having the whole body redone. Dent repair, a few small rust spots needing repaired, and the whole body will be stripped down and painted the same color but in base coat/clear coat. I also have all new OEM trim that will go on after the paint is done.

Great write up Jake. TSP was pretty cool to give you this opportunity. I was able to follow your build from start to finish and I can say this is one of the best “budget” build K swaps I’ve seen. It came out very clean. These pictures don’t do the car full justice in my opinion.
