New car - honda what to get?

[birdie]

Another thought i had, was to go for a cheap Accord (newer one with High K's, aslong as the body is in good condition) and then get a H22a or K20 or another one of the bigger newer DOHC VTEC motors and do an engine swap...

I saw a EH Civic Sedan with a K20 on carsales... and apparently it ran a 13.6 pre-tune and was expected to run 12s after a tune... That sounds very nice to me... thats that sort of times i want to be able to get... how much heavier is the accord than the civic? (ie what sort of times could i expect with a accord with the k20?)

Another thing... what is the 2.3L in the accords like? (because i can get a HONDA ACCORD MY2001 VTi-L with around 100,000ks for about $14,000)

2.3 VTi-L has about 110 kw, and hasnt been really turbo'd before.

If you wanna know more about that model accord, pm SiReal he has one.

I saw a Accord VTi today, and it reignited me desire for a Honda

Anyway so i been looking on carsales.com.au again... i found the alot of the VTi's are 2.2L Auto. Is that the H22a? The H22a is DOHC VTEC right? what power and torque does it make?

I would prefer the V6 though... because of the torque (which i lust for :P) but i also want manual... how hard would it be and what gearbox would be required to convert a V6 Accord to manual? The V6's are SOHC VTEC right? and what power and torque do these make? What motor is it (name)?

Anyone have any ideas what 1/4 miles the H22 Accords, and the V6 Accords run?

hint: dont get too bogged down with engine capacities like you may do with other car brands! hondas are very efficient and make make good power/weight. a light car like an EG with a B18C will pull hard!
and no offence but g/l finding a 12s car for $14k

[yourfather]

with 10K i can get you a VL turbo that will do 10's

[kraiye]

a 10s car for $10K?
well that settles it... i'm selling my

[yourfather]

yeh man, find a VL turbo, get the biggest turbo you can spool, get some huggies and some slicks - and god speed.

[birdie]

no no no... i never said i was expecting to get a 12s car for $14k... I said it would be nice...

I am hoping to get a 14-low 15s car for $14k... (or easily capable through bolt on mods (intake, exhaust or/and forced induction))

No i don't want a VL... to old and they are a bogan's car hehe (no offence to anyone)

I am wanting a medium sized car (ie accord) that is nice and refined and comfortable and good looking and has a pretty good motor, so that i do have the option of supercharging it with a kit built by my good mate who owns Raptor Superchargers (www.raptorsc.com.au)
I don't want a camry (even though i really like toyota) - too boring, i don't want a magna - its mitsubishi... (that says enough :P), i don't want a falcodore - bigger than i want, and too common... So that leaves me with the Accord (Cause i like honda too )

You won't find a factory H22a Accord in Australia. The one you found has an F22b, good for 107kW.

^ yep

the h22a accords here are convos from vti-r ludes...

[Zilli]

there is a beautiful black prelude in the car for sale section on the site

go check it out, its very clean and obiously well looked after

[nvmee]

VLs are fcuking HAWTTTT DAWGGGg ... i would probably get one if it wasnt for my nosey parents always critising what i get with MY money. always yap yap yap
like an accord v6 luxry is about 10k - 14k and the vtis is 10k too...... thats just ****ing stupid, what pisses me off is that some honda drivers are so ***ed in the head and place their cars up for so much and thene expect someone to pay for a car that is gona shit itself pretty much sooner or later

sorry mite got abit overboard there
