It'll be a good month or two from now.

I need to get the car first That'll happen this weekend. I'll be on a 2 week vacation next month in California, so that just cuts into my engine swap free time

California? Even better.... you can finish the swap beforehand once you get the car, then you can bring the car to San Jose and I can drive it














(yes I'm pretty unreasonable)

I like the new Accord coupe, but I still can't get over that massive front overhang....

oh, and I think the 94-95 Accords are still the best USDM Accord's ever made in terms of design, reliability, driveability/fun, value, and ergonomics (relative to its time, of course). Design at the time (similar to the EG Civic's) is ahead of its time. Short front and rear over hang, raised rear end, good visibility, looks proportional and sleek from almost all angles (again, relative to its time, although I think it still doesn't look bad even after 15 yrs).
