    A friend of mine posted this on bookface and I took a stern Disliking to it. I said MWR sold out. Here's why: there's already a decent amount of K swapped lotus cars. I'm fine with that but for a company that has dealt with the ZZ for so long to do this seems like a sellout move. It'll be good for business but I can see it causing an issue for some people. Idk thoughts?

    My car crew buddies (all Honda big surprise) have been pushing me to do a k swap for a while. I think it's a good but pricey move.

    not really a big issue, a good business needs to expand to make money...BUT if they phase out ZZ family parts n swaps from the site to just honda swaps then it would raise red flags with many.

    The swap is a good move. I just think MWR selling this swap is going to hurt their image some.

    I bought displacement. High strung 4 cylinders don't last long around these parts.

    ZZ owners are cheap for the most part.

    People who own lotus cars have money to invest in better engines. A K Series Honda motor is a lot better than the zz engines.

    More people spend money on Honda motors.
