My engine finally came.

I've waited for nearly a year.

I tested the compression, and it is even.

I'm so giddy, I'm tired.

 

this is where you tell us what kind of engine

 

did u buy it new or was ur old engine messed up so u got it fixed??

 

Well I had planned the cliche h22a1 swap into 4th gen Accord, and I ordered the engine last August, from a place in California. They never shipped it and I only found this out a month ago.

Happily, Osaka in Montreal shipped a fantastic one to me... maybe it's because I'm a fellow Canuck, but it looks absolutely amazing. I can't wait to get it in my car.

I suppose nothing here is extraordinarily amazing except that I've been waiting for so long, and it is finally here.


:thumbup:

 

congrats!

 

There ain't nutt'in wrong wit' thems'es H22 swaps!

Really, have fun with that new engine

 

Thanks, guys!

It's weird... I've been trying to get this project together for over two years, and it is nearly done, and I'm getting second thoughts.

Should I have just bought a stock '91 supra? A 240sx? '92 RX-7? Is this worth it?

Then, I look at my car and shrug. I guess every car has ups and downs. Plus, it's really hard to argue with 200hp.

:thumbup:

 

Ask your insurance company how much they want to insure a Supra and it'll get even harder to argue.

 

Well yeah, when it comes to insurance there isn't really an option for me right now.

I looked into what it would cost for me to insure a 2003 Corolla, and I would need to pay $6,500 a year CDN, which is like $4,000 USD a year. That seems a bit steep. I actually did look into the insurance for a '91 supra and they wanted, surprise surprise, $6,500 a year.

I pay $2,400 for my accord...

:screwy:

 

FC or FD? The '92 FC is a rare car, and the '92 FD was Japan only... you don't happen to live in Japan, do you?
