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?

 

No, you should keep the HX for fuel economy. You shouldn't trade for a trade that needs work if yours is running fine.

true...also i dont like sols haha...there nice but a little to small and tight for me....

 

Keep the Hx holmes.

You have Lojack.

 

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.

they handle very well....but keep the hx...i like coupes better

 

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.

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
