I have the same colour as what you have now. It is called sherwood green. I have a set of gold rims on mine with silver dish and its looks awsome.
But the best part is the h22a. Alot more power than the f22b.
b16a man,
How much all up did it cost you for your H22 swap??
totalli interested in the cost of h22a swap in syd too..around 4-5k drive in drive out?
When i purchased my car it already had this engine with it so i didnt go through the hassle of the swap. It is done very well and all the wiring is very neat and tidy. Half cut is prob between 3 - 4k depending on the engine. then i am sure you are looking at around $1500 to get it installed. This is just a guess.
Probably 5k and you have a 200-220hp.
When i get some money saved up i really would like more hp as i am used to the power now and i really want more.
h22a engine= $1500-$3000
h22a + auto tranny= $3000 mark
h22a + manual tranny- $3000-$3500
f22b uses same gearbox as h22a, but if your stuck with an auto you'd prob convert it to manual when u did the conversion.
installation-$1500-$2500 including wiring install.
the install is almost a direct swap, your far better off getting a lude front cut coz u can get the h22a engine mounts that u need. along with other components.
note- prices vary depending on km's, place of purchase, transport.
Yea I would consider saving your money from adding any performance based mod to an AUTO CD5. I had my stock exaust replaced (holes) with an aftermarket on my auto VTI-S and didn't notice one bit of difference in power.
Just my experience but I think you will find many others will tell you round here that any gains will be minimal at best.
if you want to just change the exhaust note, swap out the muffler for a different one and also choose a tip that suits your taste.
Sorry for the neglect, havent been here to update.
The accord was stolen before christmas. and it was found not worthy of keeping.
so i now only own a holden vl calais.
Damn that's a shame! How was it stolen?
