You didn’t mention what generation you’re talking about, but based on “a more popular 2.5 swap”, I’d guess this is about NC.
From what I’ve read, putting the 2.5 is a no-brainer: very easy swap with nice improvements in torque and power in the whole RPM range. It’s obvious why it is so popular among the people.
Now, can you put K24 in? Well, everything is possible, but it’ll probably be much much more complicated. My vote is that you use that engine to play with it to learn stuff and/or sell it, and then you get the 2.5 and do like 98% of other swappers did.
Anyway, if you’ve driven multiple cars, which one(s) have you loved the most?
I’ve just sold my (well not mine anymore :')) NB Miata this morning.
I had it for three years and it’s the car that “started it all” for me:
I met one guy whom I barely knew who also had an NB Miata, then the other one, who also had a friend with a Miata, and yadda yadda yadda, we now have an unofficial Miata club, we regularly go on drives, we hang out, help each other with car repairs, etc.
My girlfriend and I went on so many road trips and enjoyed every minute of it.
This car also re-ignited my passion for cars, so thanks to it, at some point I also bought my childhood-dream car: EF Civic (and I’ve sold it a year later; even though it was my childhood dream, it was pale compared to the NB).
Today I’ve sold my NB, but I will always remember it and all the good times in it.
(But don’t worry, I’m still driving a Miata — NC2 :))
As alot of us are new here and wanting to drum up content. Post you current ride. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/4a4077fe-1abc-43b7-8c1c-c9a892f03d24.jpeg
Just pretty much all the car subs. I think that accounted for half my browsing.
Same here.
That's why I created !cartalk.
Since we are still a small community, I thought that we could have one community that covers several car-related subreddits.
But currently, I'm the only poster there. Please change that :)

Thoughts on a K24A4 swap?
I know KPowerIndustries has a K24A2 kit - I found a really cheap k24a4 junkyard engine for $200, 170k miles on it....

For the folks who have driven multiple cars, which was your favorite?
Like the title says, tell the community which car you’ve had that was the one you loved most. I’ll kick it off....
What are you driving.

Subreddits you are going to miss?
I'm going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.
Welcome reddit refugees!
