Default road racing an accord. got a free one and was thinking of tracking it.

well, my friend snapped a timing belt and i replaced it and it overheats. so the motor is toast. i was thinking of dropping an h22 adn putting the rest into suspension. what do you huys think? would it be worth it ot should i just build a DD

woudl it be able to hang or is it just another polished turd on the track?

A buddy of mine has been campaigning one for a few years and they're not as bad as you'd think. There was also an H4 Accord that did pretty well (which that guy recently bought to replace his previous one), albeit in the hands of some great drivers. PM me if you want any of his contact information.

I thought the ITR-sized calipers and rotors were on some earlier-than-97 models?

Are the brakes gonna be the only real problems for me or is there anything else.
