This was my parents car and was just handed down to me. I was woundering if its worth modding or to look for another car. I dont know much about cars and i just registed here. So if i posted this in the wrong section just move it. Other than that. If its worth modding let me know some mods i can do and some links. Thanks alot.

it really depends what you want to do to it?
cosmetic wise...



or you can turbo it since the f22 motor is pretty strong by itself.
or look a couple posts up for the 12 second 4th gen accord.

really up to you and how much money you want to put into it.

 

H22A swap is a natural in that car, or so I hear. The same car was used in other parts of the world with the 200hp engine out of our 93-01 Prelude (VTEC model 93-96, any Prelude 97-01)

You won't get as much power out of an H22A swap versus an F22 turbo, but an H22A would be a better and more reliable starting platform.

 

I would say save your money for a newer/faster car unless you are willing to swap in an H22A. That's really the only way to go aside from turbo, and personally I shy away from it because of the reliability issues and the fact that I drive tens of thousands of miles per year. It's a much better performance base, as you won't get very much out of spending $1000 on intake/header/exhaust for your old F series.

 

How miles on car? Maintenence becomes expensive as the ar ages and more miles added. Keep this in mind . I have 90 Accord LX with 180K, I should have added some mods. when I bought it with 88K.

 

Current milage, maintenance to the car up to this point, and what you plan to use the car for should help determine how you'll go about modifying it and whether or not it's worth it.

If you're talking about performance, modifying Accords, or any Honda for that matter, is pretty much an all or nothing endeavor.

 

www.hmotorsonline.com has prices for H22 swaps It's an expensive and time consuming project to start modifying a car but if you have the patience the end result can be awesome

 

The car has like 170,000 miles on it. it was bought brandnew i am the second owner. it was gave to me from my parents.. I might do the motor swap.

 

then the car should be in pretty good shape then?
that mileage aint bad either.

 

How about loweriing the car about 2".
