I have a 1992 Honda Accord EX 4 Door, it was a hand me down from my dad. He used to commute in it everyday. So it has alot of highway miles on it. The Milage on the car right now is around 350,000. Never had a problem with the car, the only big replacement is transmission (Auto). The body is in great shape. Ill post pics sometime tommorow. It has been in 2 front end wreaks but doesn't even look like it has been in a wreak. But I have been driving for about 2 and a half years. Great Car!

For those last 2 and a half years I have wanted to put an JDM H22 motor in it and convert it to manual. But my friends keep telling me to get a 2 door instead of having a 4 dr. But I really want to be different and have a fast 4 door. I know if I sell it im not going to get much for it.

I also work a Auto Dealership, and just recently they just had a trade in come in. Its a 1992 Honda Accord 2Dr 5 spd. It has 282,000 miles on it they have all the maintence records for it and its in pretty good condition. I might be able to get 500 for it. So I talked to my dad about it. He was saying why would you buy one high mileage car that you don't really know what has been done to it, when you have one that you know every thing that has been done to it. He says "Your Taking a High Risk" So right after this talk I came down right down to my computer and type this post b/c Im really not sure if I should just keep my car or buy that car. So I was wondering if I could get some opinions...

 

if your buying the 92 accord to swap an h22 in it...theres no real risk i mean your taking the engine(risk) out of it so if the bodys straight what you waiting for? if your going to trade your 92 for it or sell it then your going to have to drive your risk around but i mean if the other car has documentation for maintance not much risk in my eyes you can look in a engine bay and see if its been maintained or not.


all in all buy the car if your going to be able to park it and do the swap i would think that would be no hesitation.....h22 bleh...why not boost it??

 

get another F series motor and it run it to the ground.

**** the h22, f22 is 300 buck

the coupe looks like an *** for 4th gen.
sedan with oem fog light

i agree with your dad, if he took care of the car, it should run LOOOOOOOOONg.

first thing i would do is do a compression test.
