i have a 95 jdm h22a front clip, and im having a hard time wondering if i should choose a lighter platform for the 2.2. I have a 95 accord exL 5spd coupe, and i was wondering how happy h22powered accord owners are. My friends have like ITR's, wrx's or swapped ek's/eg's/rex's and are all so fast, and i guess i am doubting the accord. Money is budgeted now, because im saving for an apartment, and would you trade your 95 accord for a 95 ls, h22 powered? insurance payment differences between the two platforms? thanks

 

14.2 @ 99.5 mph with intake and exhaust.

 

same here, two of my friends have crxs...one has a civic ex swap and the other might be doing an ls swap. I think I'm gonna get one too and throw in a b16a3 for track use only... 1000 lbs makes a difference.

 

Don't doubt an H22 Powered accord. I have a 95 accord with full stereo and 200 lbs worth of wheels. I live up at about 1 mile high. and I'm running right with ITR's with just intake and exhaust. I ran a 15.64 at a mile high, with my car dressed in street clothes (With a full tank of gas). I ran it before I got the Vtec controller, so I don't know what it will run now.

I just had the head replaced on mine...and I beat a lude that went 14.5(i/h/e/pullies) with a 2.4 60'. Best time is in sig along with video. THats gotta suck running a mid 15 though. Altitude sucks. Apartments are a wasted investment...go for a house. Swapping in an accord is not all about being the fastest, you should just enjoy having a quick accord, and not another civic/ integra.

 

im happy

 

well, im sick of my car, and i decided to get a 95 ls integra. Right now its un-official because i need to sell my car first. I decided to go DC4 because its not a civic. I have something agaisnt them, but the DC4 project will be nice. so far it will be black dc4 w/h22a+lsd, gutted rear, Itr front seats. and components from the accord, and flat black ls rims. its a nice lil set up, and im tired of people asking me for rides..depends on everyones preferences, right now its speed, and handling....im also very tired of the accords *** swingin on roundabouts. hah thanks for feedback everyone!!

 

if you can drive, that can be pleanty fast

nice decision

dont get me wrong, i love mah accord, but id rather have the same engine in a lighter car, only i would squeeze it in a crx. FYI, tegs arent THAT much lighter stock than accords. theyre like 2700lbs

 

shoot, lets all just swap in GSR motors then

j/k

 

haha funny, its not that i dont like my accord, i just grew a hatred for it cuz of all the rice that reflects upon the accords in LAS VEGAS, you know city of lights, etc. i realize integs arent that much lighter but i like the body style so much better than a civic, and i thing my friends gsr handles great. due to the fact my friends have r seats, gsr strut bars etc just lying around, its a great opp for me. thanks for

modified:: btw, this car is like a chance for me to make up for all the stupid mods i made on the accord. keepin this bitch stock with maybe a 98+front w/itr lip at most.

so you are complaining that the accord image is all fucked up and riced out, but yet you go to a platform that is played out and notorious for rice itself...nice decision there, but the accord is the ultimate sleeper and has the same potential as your 'teg if modified corectly...

 

The accords with h22 definetly have lots of potential. If you do the swap you should be right there with your friends cars. Go with the h22 swap, you shouldnt be dissapointed.

 

i tell you one thing, there is nothing like rolling up in a bone stock looking accord next to some ricer and pulling on him for days...that is why the accord is the way to go...an accord with h22 swap and bolt ons is just as fast a gsr swapped civic hatch on the street and on the highway forget about it..the accord will swamp that hatch with the torque...you have to realize that most people with gsr swapped civic hatchbacks have no idea how to drive and they think their car is just the shiznit because it has the engine in it and is fast right out of the box when they have no idea how to drive...i should know i used to be one of them...3 years ago when i first swapped my 95 si with a gsr engine i used to take it to the track all the time and pull 14.8-15.0 and thought i was it for going that fast...but after say 200 passes down the dragstrip i slowly learned how to drive the car and without any other modiftications done to the car i was going 14.0-14.1 consistently in a gsr powered civic hatchback...most ricers will never learn that and thus will always be slower than my 4 door, power everything, leather, full interior, h22 powered accord.

Sorry, but comparing both platforms stock to stock, i think the integ will take the better looks. no offense, but im just not happy with my accord not anyone else's. yes accords are nice reliable cars, but its not what im in the market for. As far as being an enthusiast, its hard to be taken serious if you say you drive an accord. most notorious for the FF are civics or integras. As far as the rice scene, yeah it sucks being another accord out there, and having jack asses with black widow everything trying to hang out by you, acting fake when you know their nothing but little thieves. its all part of scene, elevation and personal preference.
NO OFFENSE GUYS, this thread wasn't meant to say that h22 accords are slow, im just doubting the potential in all areas, meaning handling, speed, local elevation, seems to be a waste of money. NOT saying the accords cant handle, i just think integs handle the corners and round-abouts better

 

have you ever driven an integra with work done to it or a hybrid civic hatch? i have driven almost every imaginable combination of hybrid honda/acura's as well as numerous other worked over imports and i think my h22 accord with koni yellows and eibach prokit handles just as good....granted it weighs probably 4-500 pounds more, but as long as you set it up right you have nothing to worry about

An H22 in an Accord is just like a lude performance wise. IMO, H22 Accords get mad props cause everyone and their grandma owns a civic or a teg. An H22 HB civic is still pretty nice, if all you care about is 1/4 mile. For daily driving I'm much happier in an Accord.

 

actually i have drove several hybrids such as (h22ek, lsvtec coupe, b16eg, b18ceg) like i said before i dont like hatches that much because a lot of friends have them. I just prefer my friends integ over my car any day thats it. right now im on eibach sportlines and koni reds. its a really good ride. IMO you're wasting your breath. H22 accords get mad props from me, but its just not what im looking for, this is a waste of a post. do you like arguing on the internet or what?

 

who is arguing here, we are just trying to give you a objective point of view

my buddy's gotta 94 teg RS 5 speed coupe he wants to get rid of...asking 2000. good for a project car....no rust...he wants to trade for a 94 accord sedan EX 5 speed. thought id letcha know!

 

Taken seriously??? This is the only reason I ended up in SCC. Simply because it was something different. These cars can be made to perform. Honda did intend to make these cars perform otherwise they wouldn't have made them (stock) with h22a's as an option.
