i have currently moved to Okinawa japan from Shreveport, la and have a few questions about my 99 accord wagon i picked up here. the car has a H23A DOHC VTEC motor and runs very well. i want to do a few cosmetic upgrades to the car like a black grill and maybe some projection headlight housings, but its hard to find stuff specifically for a wagon. my question is are the 2 door coupe and 4 door front end parts interchangeably with a wagon? im almost positive the sedan has the same front end, but i don't know if the coupe is the same. also, i would like to put an intake on the car. what intakes will work with this motor from other models or motors? here are a couple of pics....

 

That my good man, is very nice car!

 

thank you

 

getting a lot of views and no feed back....

 

We have such boring Honda's stateside.. Awesome wagon dude, jelly.



In all honesty I would leave the car exactly how it is. You won't really gain anything from adding an intake system; Perhaps a nice exhaust and a good 4-1 header would benefit you nicely. I also wouldn't buy cheap-o projectors, I would retrofit your OEM headlights and install Projector Globes into them. They look far cleaner and will probably increase the value of the vehicle over all. In the end make sure your engine is completely taken care of and all of the routine maintenance items are covered because you won't get good "performance" out of an engine with fouled spark plugs and old oil.

 

lol, thanks! main reason i was wanting a intake is to hear the classic intake sound these engines make. the oe headlights in these are already HID, but i thought they would look better with protectors. most likely will just leave them alone. value isnt a big concern here either, i only paied $1500 for the car! the steal of a century! car only has 91,000km on it (56,500 miles)! im gonna do a good tune up on it and flush the fluids. still havent made up my mind if im gonna keep if for the rest of my 4 year tour or go ahead and spring for a 89-92 GTR to ship back to the states. i have a 02 SS camaro i left in storage with a H/C/I and bolt ons build that would look nice with a GTR sitting next to it. here is a video of my camaro....

 

so im still wondering what intake will work on this car off another model. would a 4th gen prelude h22 intake work in the accord or does it need to be accord specific? if i were to get one for an accord, would one for a different engine work on this one (H23A DOHC VETC).
