J35 would be awesome. I've decided against getting that h22 because the mileage on it is unknown. Probably gonna order the f20b really soon. Can't wait

F20b is a great engine, but for daily driving I personally prefer a motor with more torque. If you do get the f20b, you might want to make sure you're getting one from a manual transmission car. Obviously they'll both bolt up to a manual transmission the same, but from what I can understand from other people is the cams are designed better in the manual motor

I'd be getting the manual transmission. Maybe do a few bolt ons just to make things a little more fun

Make sure when purchasing the f20b w/ manual tranny make sure its a lsd tranny(being thats what you are wanting). i have heard alot of complaints from local people saying that the one that comes with the engine sometimes they try to switch them out for the non lsd tranny

The lsd is a seperate option to purchase and it's $600 more. As much as would like to have the lsd transmission I'm fine with just getting a manual and switching it out sometime in the future if I feel it's necessary

Picked up some amber corners at the junkyard today. They were like $5?
So for the bad news...
My dad needs a new motor in his cd5. His h23 has some problem dealing with the crank? He didn't really go into detail but a swap is going to have to wait for the wagon :/

Little update. Yesterday we fixed my dads accord without replacing the motor and we painted the hood, fender, and both doors on the wagon. Painted was looking awesome so the next day I get back from school and go to look at the glorious green beast and the paints complete f*cked up, mostly on the back door.
And heres what happened to the door and some other spots

Had the car sit in the sun for a bit and here's how the door looks now
It has a matte look, so I'm gonna see what I can do to fix it.
But the hood and fender turned out pretty good.

Pretty sure I've found a donor car to do the manual swap. The donor car also has read disc so maybe I'll take that too.

But of COURSE you would, why keep the drum brake setup?
BTW, the 'Slammed Thread' may have some useful info for you as well. Check my last post in there.
