In need of ideas.....help

Nope, you're not fat at all. It's just that our hoods are made from a paper maché that somehow resembles metal. Even if you look at the hood for too long it will start to dent.

damn haha
I need a new hood really really bad...I should check out the junkyards, lol

Well, I would definitely recommend doing the H22 swap! I did mine a few months ago and I LOVE it! A wealth of power on tap makes passing on those 2 lane roads a breeze. And weaving in and out of freeway traffic is fun too... hehe

Mine is definitely a sleeper. No one expects it.

[grlEgrlRacer87]

yea that sounds awesome
aren't the H22s around 200hp?

[gzagenius]

^190ish

Whats up there.....anyways an h22a is going to be the best motor for the amount of money you have, If you plan on keeping it auto, all you really need is the Engine, Wire harness, ECU, and the bolt-ons that come stock with the engine. (distributor, header, intake mani, throttle body, etc)....this setup will usually cost you around $1200 approximately, and most of the time the labor for the swap costs between $500-$1500 depending on where you go. Since your car isn't vtec, there are some things that need to be changed on the wire harness that you will be using....a couple of connectors will need to be extended, and so on....the stock exhaust will not bolt up to the H22, so you will have to have something welded up to make it work. While the engine is out, you NEED to change timing belt, waterpump, all seals/gaskets, and while it's out, do yourself a favor and do an auto to manual tensioner conversion, because sometimes the auto tensioner will fail and cause the timing belt to fly off, and sometimes the engine will never run again. (the tensioner is what keeps your timing belt tight). And I usually change out spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, and mounts, just to be safe. After all is said and done, in your case, to have a perfect running car, you will probably spend between $2500-$3000....I hope this was some help to you! PM me if you have any questions!

Such a smartass...and yet so right... Phat' is the F-ing MASTA'!!

[DrLove'sKuDang]

Body work first, then suspension, then power. Nice pic. Do you have a huge dent in the middle of your hood now?

damn erik, you pimp...
i made some joke/compliment, and i got my head chewed off... ohwell


btw, if you do get a h22 im assuming itll be jdm, so it is 200hp(at the crank that is). youll end up having 160-170 to the wheel.

Right click save as...

lololol, nice... my thoughts exactly. i wish there was a dent in my hood

damn right... im all about equal opportunity. going easy on her cause shes a girl would be sexist.

[grlEgrlRacer87]

uhhh... think you all need to chill, haha
Don't go "easy" on me or anything...but don't be a jerk either, theres just no reason. Thats all I ask.
Alright, so I'll take the hint that the H22 IS best .. I just need more paychecks
Working on the body should be fun too

[DrLove'sKuDang]

i would suggest a tranny conversion as well. that will free up more power. a h22 auto is better than stock, but still slow.

[TheTempest]

I say go for the gold...get the JDM h22a w/5spd tranny...total converstion is about $2500 after shipping and that's with parts you'll need like CV shaft and other things...

Good luck with your work.
