Engine swap or new car?
So, I recently got a job that is a lot better paying and was wondering what would be a better or more worth my while I own a 1994 Accord ex 5 speed and was thinking of putting a h22a into it. Or leaving it stock and waiting as I build up money to maybe get a V6 accord or something? I am a complete noob, I have been on other forums and only found mixed answers. Any replies will be appreciated!!!!
Thanks, |

I'd leave it be and save your cash for something newer and nicer. What are you looking for in a car? What kind of budget are we talking about?

Thank you for the reply!! I'd be looking for something a bit faster but I would like to stay Japanese if possible my budget could be roughly 6-10k if all goes as planned

There's loads of cool Jap cars you can get in that budget. A nicely swapped 240 with a SR20 would be in that budget or even just a stock KA24 240 would be well under. A Civic Si, Lexus SC300/400, WRX, etc etc all fit into that budget easily. Mike's suggestion of a Mazda 3 is probably the smartest. It's reasonably fun to drive, fuel efficient, and reliable.
