i just sold my 96 vti civic and bought a 96 vti accord..was not too happy with the cvt transmission..the accord is a much better drive and ended up making money on the swap so happier...:p
its a red vti..automatic..in really good nick and a good engine and tranny..gonna keep it as is for a while and then considering the h22a for it...

congrats on the purchase/swap. I basically folowed in the same footsteps, not from necessity but from choice.

Had a 98 Ek1 sedan manual then went to a 01 CK2 Auto. No regrets.

Nice big relaxing cruisy cars these are. And you've also got yourself a sunroof as well. bastard.

Fix up your avatar dude ;)

215/45/17 otherwise the tyres will look too small.

No they were not made to be riced up. The CD series is the perfect candidate for a h22a swap.

Nice choice of wheels.
If your stock dimensions are: 195/60/15 ,then
based on that, a 225/40/17 series tire would change the overall rolling diameter by 0.54% which should still be fine.

1010tires.com has a handy tire size calculator, or just ask your local wheel/tire shop.

lol It's a Honda Accord its sex the way it is, but of coarse always fun to make it your own and add your own finishing touches.

thanks for the pics iceman91, looks great in red, and some nice rims will set it off nicely. keep us posted on how you go with it.
