tokyo speed pros and talk to Pete. It won't be cheap but it will be done right. also you're going to have to accept the fact that your going to have to convert from OBDII to OBDI. it would cost way too much money to stay OBDII. also if your going to get a manual swap done, make sure you swap in the JDM tranny as it comes with a LSD.

Not all the jdm trannys come lsd, just the M2B4 I believe, although all jdm trannys have much shorter gears which is better for acceleration.

talk with pete at TSP, he'll give you a rough quote. I was considering it at one time and I wanted to keep the accord OBDII, he quoted me roughly $5000 including everything.

that quote from pete was the motor, and labor and everything.

tsp is in gilbert. they are off Mesa drive off the 60. actually they are on Harvard which is off Mesa drive. pretty easy to find, and Pete is great and he'll explain any challanges that might come up with a swap. with an H22, they are going to have to fab up some engine mounts. so they are going to have to do some custom fabrication.

if you don't know how to drive stick ask a friend that drives stick if you can get some seat time. its not too tough to learn, you just need the practice to get used to it.

yea watever jeff.....oh well jeef and his car now is my night time teacher...BOW DOWN...

[jakellama123]

ahha ok ya my cousin has a nice lude running like 13s and he is gonna teach me soon. yay

[skabone]

two words of advise with driving stick, when in doubt push in the clutch if you start grinding, or give the car more gas. on the accord you've got to keep the revs above 2000K to get the car started in motion.

[jakellama123]

k thx

[I CRUSH HONDAS]

Hey I got a JDM h22 tranny its a non lsd 5-speed with low miles. LMK

[DJ Hookid]

He doesnt have the car anymore. He wrecked it and now he drives a Del Sol that also took a dump on him.

[jakellama123]

thx for tellin him
but ya i jsut need to wait til saturday for a car
:)
i really want an s2k but i kinda need 4 seats
:/
so i might get an rx8
but i wanna stay honda

[DJ Hookid]

RX8 is so not worth the money. I would never buy one of those pieces of junk. Get a Scooby if your gonna be paying that kind of money.

[jakellama123]

well a scooby is hard to find even semi cheap
i like an rx8 thats 15 k
and i cant get anything older than like an 02 03
so we will see
