    What you're going to get rid of the wipers??? Those are a sacred thing... We don't have them here in the US. To get rid of them would be a tragedy! Ok, well at least sell me the motors and wiper arms, and the headlight wiper switch!

    All I need are the JDM headlights. I've got a 2gee. No pop ups for me. No front end conversion necessary. I just need the grille from a 2gee with the wipers, the wipers themselves, motors, and lights. I'd be willing to bet the headlight wipers are the same from the 2gee to the 3gee.

    yay nice to hear that...i think the 5th gen accord lip does look good on our cars...check out cheeseburgers car. i kinda liked the z24 sideskirts that ricer36 had....im not sure if they will fit a 4door but other than that it looks good....with all that money that you saved get the nicer engine and performance mods

    Re: Motor swap

    first, your question about the tranny has been asked milliion times. you should use search buttom before you post it. answer to your question would be NO. You can't use A series tranny on B series motor. It has to be B20A tranny. No other tranny will bolt up to it.

    second, since the engine has been sitting outside for 6 month, you may want to rebuild it before installing it.

    yeah you should rebuild it....after you find the tranny it should be good to go....sounds like its going to be a fast car when you finish with it

    1st: there are no 6 speed.
    2nd. they came in 3g accord, 86, 87, 88. and 86-87 prelude
    anything else will not fit or bolt up.

    and please use search button. this has been asked many times.

    true, but if you stumble across one, you can use it. i was more just throwing that out there than giving the guy any real hope of finding one.
