i'd go with the H22 as long as its a better all around car than the civic, you start with more power, you start with a great engine, the car itself is a little bigger, gives you more of a platform to work with as far as customizing and all that other fun stuff goes, then of course, to counter my own point, you do have the civic, which is a smaller more economical and efficient car (gas $), it also has a good engine with power options out the wazooo, as long as the civic body is good and the car runs well, either would be great, i think it would basically come down to a matter of size, do you want a compact car, or a mid-sized car?

<font color=red>Yah i would say go with the H22. I would say accords hold up a little better then the civics do IMO and that there is more power to come from the H22 then the civic.</font>

jdm itr civic.....fast compared to the accord h22a...so if ur overall goal is to be very fast, then civic. if you wanna be a lil different and not go for the mainstream car for tuners (civic) then go for an accord. its really all up to what you want. what do you like better?

dude, get the accord, cause then u can put a HUGE mugen vinyl across ur h00d!...

w/ weight reduction + mods, the accord could be as fast or faster as the civic...and itll be better at autox/road corses than any ol' civic

EDIT: GOD DAMNIT, i say "dude" alot recently....................

like was said earlier, you posted on the accord forum, most people will say accord. i will say accord too!! depends on what your looking for. i would go with the accord because although the swap is common you see less swapped accords than swapped civics, and you should be good for a low 15, depending on how you drive. but your options from there are
if you want something faster just with the swap, go with the civic. but accords are SOOO sexy!
