[yesiamaturk]

lol, this turned into a 7th gen hate thread pretty quick thanks to the few people that tried to help me at least but i still dont understand why its illegal for a h22 to go in the car when my cars build date was dec 00 so that would make it a my01 and h22 were still released in 01, and to those that think thyre ugly cars i think they are nice cars i got a seires one thats lowered ona seat of 17s and the interior is half done i actually really like the cars because they are different

Two issues:

- yes you have to make sure the engine build date is after the car build date.
- When increasing the engine displacement above 200cc there are bigger legal issues to face. 1.7 ltr => 2.2 (i assume thats wha tthe H22 is) is 500 cc.

I know if you did get the H22 you'd have to atleast upgrade your braking system and more than likely get it engineered.

Find an engineer and put to him you plans for the conversion. He will tell you what you need to do in regards to brake upgrade etc.......

But honest, I would not go spending money on a conversion on an 7th gen unless you really want a 4 door hatch.

Just go and buy an EP3R, it'll save you money.

P.S. I think there is a lack of 7th gen due to,

1) The popularity of cars such as the Corollas, Lancer and all the cheap imports (more competition). Comon guys, they (Civics) cost about 5k more new. Not everyone wanted to spend the extra to get a honda.

2) People needed time to get over the EK.
