difficulty scale...

how hard would it be to install:
steel brake lines?
a lightweight flywheel?
cross-drilled rotors?
and my final noob question is it possible to vtec an f22a1?

...possible to vtec an f22a1?

The front rotors are pressed on. Have fun.

vtec to an f22: use the search button. It'll become your best friend.

might as well replace the clutch when replacing flywheel.

same thing with axles and rotors.

both are equally as hard, day job (for me at least ) for each.
im paying someone to help me out with my clutch job.

best left to a professional if you have to ask. im not trying to be an ass or anything but with the projects listed above, you may save some downtime on your car by taking it to a mechanic or get someone to assist you who has experience doing those jobs.

then again, personal experience is one of the best learning tools

rotors will be a bitch, especially if you have rear also, one screws are not your friend after 12 years, secondly a cutting toarch will be.
when i did mine, it took about 4 days, for all 4 wheels. This was mainly because bolts broke and parts had to be ordered. i also had to cut off 2 of the 4 bolts that hold the rotor to the front hub assembly. All in all its a grand example of routine accord manitnice.

as for lines, ABS would impeed your progress alot (correct me if wrong)

and everything else... as stated by K-mart

[wed3k]

yea, its good if you have an extra car so IF somethin happens, then you have a backup mode of transportation.

but in CA, the bolts on our cars should be okay since we dont get snow here. the hardest bolt ive encountered was the one for my cat...it wasnt even in that bad of a condition, just needed some PB blaster and elbow grease.

i always have trouble breaking the axle nutz. i always have to ditch the PB Blaster and cut it off

dont even get me started with that, pb blaster didnt do jack shit and i broke hella torque wrenches and breaker bars...ended up getting the nut impacted off.

im gonna get me a electric impact wrench.

haha, yea man, me too. ive broke two drives off of two different ratchets. talk about frustrating...

well actually my dad accidently removed one of the bolts on the rotor, we were changing the caliper and i left him alone with a ratchet... anyways as for the vtec i had used the search but the results were blah. i guess i should rephrase the question, with just an intake and an exhaust, would a vtec on a f22a with 150k miles be worth the trouble? would i get any gains??

nope.

you cannot just throw VTEC onto a motor like its nitrous....

and the info is here. try search words such as "headswap" or just plain "swap" and read up on those threads. from there, you will learn what you need to know and come across other ideas of equipping your car w/ VTEC, since that is what it seems to me you want to do

frost white thread what?!
