hey now i can respect ones opinion…when say stock lookin i dont mean factory original type stock, just that it doesnt look half assed like others ive seen, it looks like the car came like that…everything fits properly, and doesnt look out of place, and i will agree i dont normally like body kits , however i choice this one for its looks as well as its function, it actually improves on the aerodynamics, along with the complete under car shielding. goin 145mph , it doesnt feel as unstable as it did without…form and function was what i was goin for ---

the reason im doin this project is because i gotta work with what i got and 2nd, not alot of people waste there time on this generation accord or any of them for that matter, my time is worthless, soo i figured id do it just for shits n giggles to see if i can pul it off…it just seems like a better use of my time… ---

Your right I cant afford the preformance, but at least I dont kid myself into thinking I can. 😉 ---

thanx i appreciate it now to find an intake manifold…actually now that i think about it the jdm accords as well as preludes came with an h22, …hmmmm and i think they readily swap out with each other…that might be a more logical route. ---

Yes much more aftermarket support for that motor, and H22 swapped accords are always stout setups. ---

thats funny ive actually seen the swap performed, they call it the g23 swap, since the block castings are so similar, they put the h22 head on the f23 bottom head, with sum gasket mods, and a few other thi ng, it seemed to work out…tho he still needs to tune it to see what it can realy do, the first dyno runs werent that impressive, but id think it would be better in the long run to do a complete motor swap, even tho swapin heads maybe more cost effective…ultimatly i would like to that i have a reliable motor, rather than one that its a 50/50 chance it wil run ok, im refering to the fact that vtec head swaps or n e head swaps run the risk of leaks or other general problems…car buildin is fun ---
