Buy it.... Buy it... BUY IT!!! Did I make my point clear?:chuckles:

Listen to someone that has done it and loves every bit of it.

1st - I'm not sure for your car but Hasport could confirm... but on my 5G Coupe I used an 90-93 Accord half shaft and 90-93 Integra axles.

2nd - there is NO shift linkage with an H22!!! It operates by cables which you will just take out of your donor vehicle along with the shifter.... check the link in my sig and go to photo album to get an idea (real simple)

3rd - Do not listen to all this talk about weight and understeer... I drove on stock suspension for a couple months and it was fine. I've since put some Progress Auto springs on which are made specifically for the H22 in a Civic and it handles great. All I have besides the springs are Tokico Blues and a GSR rear sway bar.... I plan to do much more but it's fine for now.

Finally - the H22 is only like 80 lbs heavier than a B-series. After doing some weight management the difference is hardly earth shattering. I put my battery in the trunk (also on my site) to distribute some weight. I plan on getting a CF hood, lighter wheels, etc. With the power that this motor produces the weight is a null issue.... It would be like having a small child in your front seat.

I'm a pretty modest driver and keep to myself for the most part but I always get these guys with their RSX's, GSR's, SI's, Eclipse GSr's, etc. that want to pick on my poor little civic with black steelies and stock exhaust.... let me just say it's great to see the look on their face when I drop WOT and pound them with my poor little civic.

Parts that you'll have to buy:
- Mounts
- Harness unless you do it yourself
- FAL Thin Fan

That's pretty much it... with these three things this is a straight bolt in swap like any other.
