Insurance maybe?

It was the UK eqivalent of the JDM non-VTEC 2.2. I think is a leftover from the Accords just so Honda could have another engine option.

Well if anyone's interested, it has 90k miles, supposedly mint after being dry stored for 8 years, and he wants £1800. Burgundy.

An H22 swap is pretty easy mind, and it already has the correct brakes etc

I'll see how the bb1 turns out, but fingers crossed it'll be fine.

As the others have said, I had 2.3 before the 2 vtec's I currently have.

It is a great drive still and still pretty quick. Better low down torque, but the fuel economy was slightly worse and you just always know you're missing out on all the fun of the vtec... That was the main thing. Insurance didn't seem to be any different to a UKDM vtec.
