Should I make the trade?
I have a 98 Civic Coupe HX that has 109,000 miles with a clean title. My car has SI wheels, lowered on coilovers (Tokico), CTR lip, Lo-Jack, a Z6 tranny, clutch, and flywheel. My friend has a 95 clean title'd Del Sol with an JDM H22 swap that wants to trade me. The swap though has a wiring issue and the car won't engage into vtec. The knock sensor is also not hooked up. Should I make the trade?

i dont know for sure because i heard this from someone else, but h22s in little cars like a sol or hatch dont handle very well. i was told that the weight is too much in the front. i would keep what you have.

Re: (turbociviccoupe)
Yeah, the new mount innovations and h2b allows the motor's weight to be distributed better over/slightly behind or in front, of the axles. Instead of too far in front increasing the cars oversteer bias.

Hatches are NIIIICEE. Save up for a swap.

He doesnt have a hatch. And a SOL definately isnt a hatchback.
HX trim NEVER came in a hatchback model.

The h22 engine and tranny only weigh 25-35 more pounds than a b. It doesn't affect your handling. If you are that concerned move your battery to the trunk.

And/or get a cf hood.
It's not like the h22 is made of steel or anything
