fun car for 25k

Sure is, just lacks power. I got to drive one. Driving feel is really nice. Just would wait till the BRZ STI comes out w/some more ponies

I saw a BRZ yesterday for the first time, what a sexy automobile

the AE86 was underpowered too. it could probably run rings around higher powered cars in it its class.

half a second faster in the 1/4 mile then the New Si though.

DaInFaMMuS1

What cars in its class are you referencing? I can't think of any that it could run rings around, but be very competitive with, yes.

Hyundai Genesis for example. probably out handles that.

DaInFaMMuS1

LOL, thats not much to compare it to if you're comparing it to a 2.0t, as that would be its competition power/options wise. I've driven both a 3.8 genesis and the BRZ/FRS, the 3.8 genesis, I'd take the Genesis. But I'd take the BRZ over the 2.0t. Gotta have better examples than that bro lol.

There's a few members on here with h23's, including the guy who posted right above you

DaInFaMMuS1

Yup

nice... i just picked up my third 2.2 cl. green on grey 5spd 118k pretty clean..scored it 2gs 2nd owner. i want to drop an h23 but the car runs so well i just enjoy driving it. is any easier or harder with the h23 swap versus h22

3rdcl

and what type of quarter mile times are expected with an h23 w the usual bolt ons

yeah H23 is a nice option. i got my H22 from engine depot. it always felt like a tired motor compared to my friends prelude.

SupraManAG

It also depends what the engine has gone through and how old it is. My first H22 was def tired compared to my second H22 till that one got tired too. Lol
The younger the engine the better. Your components and seals have more life. h22 is def an older motor from what you buy

thats why at the moment if i were doing a swap for my Accord and wasnt doing a total engine rebuild i would go with an H23A VTEC.

DaInFaMMuS1

My engine was strong from beginning to end, till that damn TB screw fell out. I never had any issues pulling H22 cars with the same mods, I even pulled Shaun's white H22 CL w/his exhaust cutout closed and he had way more mods than me lol. Open he pulled on me by a car though. Can't wait to get it driving again.

yeah i do remember judged on the videos you posted of your car pulling nicely. id love to do an H-swap in my Accord but i learned my lesson the first time. i would never put a bunch of work like that into a daily driver again.

DaInFaMMuS1

With as much fun as I had with mine, I'd do it all over again for sure lol.

SupraManAG

How much do you drive your daily

well i just got a job with the TSA at Newark Airport so im debating on taking the train everyday or driving the 20 mins to work. about 30 mile round trip. the job i have now with my dad now is .9 miles.

i should make some decent money with this new job so im debating on either buying a new car like an Accord or something along those lines. So many ill keep the Accord as a project because of how mint it is or get something like a Miata or a 240. Im getting bored of honda and want an older import to mess around with.
