pm sent. dont skimp on a 2000-2500 front cut. spend the extra and you will get a cracker of a front cut with all the goodies expect to pay an absoloute minimum of 3k on a h22a front cut. Just remember you always get what you pay for. whats an extra $1000 when u do the conversion? do it once, do it properly.
conversion cost me around 4k all up, the only work i contracted out was to pirtek for a power steering hose mod and an exhaust shop for an exhaust mod.
become friend with a mechanic and use his hoist, air tools and engine crane and also befriend an auto electrician or very experienced installer for the wiring mods otherwise expect to pay $3000+ extra in totoal labour costs.
h22a accord..
what what would you get for the extra?? are the few extras are you talking about like extractors ect??
personally i would steer clear of modified half cuts as they have more of a chance that they were thrashed when they were complete.. im not saying this is always the case but from personal experiences it appears that way..
id rather buy a low k std half cut and modify it the way you want it from there.. then you know exactly what mods have been done and that they have been done right..

Reason: ..
Im not talking about mods. The front cut i bought was totally stock down to the airbox. I am talking about factory goodies and a guarantee of an engine in great condition........for the extra you would get a hand picked front cut, compression tested, low km, timing belt replaced as precaution, factory LSD, 3 month warranty "PEACE OF MIND!!!" All sensors and wiring in working condition...i have heard of front cuts missing the JDM ecu's plus certain sensors etc that you then have to spend alot of money replacing.
I also scored with my cut a factory leather gear knob and steering wheel, climate control, prelude shifter ( which feels waaay better than accord shifter ) i sold off the prelude brakes plus more parts to mates. All the parts i needed in the front cut were there and in perfect condition.
The jdm speedo with digital odometer had 60860km on it so thats pretty low km i think. its in someone elses AUDM prelude now hehehe.

isnt there 2 versions of the h22a? i remember reading about the earlier design having some sort of cooling problem(?) which the 2nd design had fixed. this was years ago so dont quote me on it.
my old mans accord has gone over 230xxxkm's, i'm patiently waiting for the day the motor dies
