i have had a stock hatch since july 17th, 2005. a great first car. gas friendly, reliable, slow but reasonably safe. well, its time for the swap...about 8 months later, and 2000 dollars richer, having around 4000-4500 to spend, what on earth should i do? GSR? TYPE R? LS? D series? H series? k fuckin 20?

well i decided. and ill post pics when its all done, im ordering the swap tomorrow, hopefully. but it should be done before april.

im puttin my money on the h22. if youve ben in a lude with an h22, you know that they got some balls. ive driven a hatch with a stock jdm h22 and the thing was damn quick.

I'm not as impressed with the H22 as I am with the B18C1 and C5 ... I've driven both, i just prefer the B's for civics. If I was a drag racer it may be a different story.
I'd like to see you get the typeR if it works out price-wise

type r>gsr>h22 but thats not saying that the type r is better by a HUGE margin, all motors and trannys are great in there own ways...h22 would be my all out built drag motor, and i need to daily drive this so i guess everyone can count the h out of the picture, so its between a b16, b18c, b18c-r.

and btw.....they are all going to be jdm spec. w00t w00t

factory lsd??? im bettin on the b18

B18C-r

I'm with you, the B series looks "at home" in the civics. H is too big and K just looks really strange in there

get the type R and do some light work to it, then later you could alway do a JRSC

Plus, you get to where the "red" v/c!!!!!

sloganish · #14 (**permalink**) March 16th, 2006, 12:46 PM

haha, im thinking about saving up the extra cash and going type-r, and yes everyone i was doing a b18c, gsr, but looking at prices, and i dont really wanna tubro, too risky for me DD....i dk now. i need some good time to think and pray.
