Default Worth it to swap and h22a into...

I was thinking aout buying a second car to play with and i want something a little bit different and kind of low profile.

I was thinking about getting a 94-96 accord coupe and swapping in an h22a and turboing it eventually. Any thoughts on this? Anyone think i should get a different car to play with? any ideas would be nice!!!

If want a car that will be fun to drive and also a good project then I would stick with a civic, since its lighter, then go B-series for turbo if you are just starting out.. It will be less work and overall an easier route..

If you want something different than the everyday norm and have some money to spend then either a h22/civic or accord will do you just as nicely and you can build it to hell and back and have bragging rights after your done..

But all in all its up to you and what you REALLY want to do.

heres what i did. 88-91 4 DOOR CIVIC!! ultimate sleeper. really light (2200 lbs.) and it has a long wheelbase for better traction on takeoff. i humiliated alot of guys with my b16 setup. 5.0 mustangs, bmw 330's, infinitys, a wrx once, b16 crx's, dodge stealths, avengers, gsr's. ahh..it was soo fun doing it in a 4 door. They couldnt believe it. hehe i recomend a b20 vtec or a ls-vtec setup. or b20 ls turbo setup. bseries motors fit pretty well.

The H22 into an Accord would be a little less money because you can use a lot of your stock components. But, yes, the civic would be much more fun.
