Hey everybody im new to this forum but definetly not new to the honda performace scene. Im 22 years old and have owned 6 different hondas since i was 16. I love to buy em and fix em cheap and sell them to newly conformed honda freaks. These hondas include, an 85 accord, 87 civic, 93 civic, 2 different acura legends and now my baby, 95 Honda Accord Coupe. I bought this honda about a year ago broke down from a craigslist add. It had broke a timing belt and bent all four intake valves (although according to the seller it just wouldnt start one day). Luckily ive been wrenching since i could walk and was able to fix this and get the car for a smoking deal. My car is a coupe with an H22A1 engine swap, VTEC AFC, greddy racing exhaust, k&n air intake system, ngk wires and plugs, the car is dropped about 1.5 inches and has a set of 18inch AXIS white rims with Khumo tires. I also have a TCS Racing carbon fiber hood installed because when i bought the car it had a dent on the hood.

Future plans for my accord are rebuilding the engine with a H23 block and as many performance as money will allow, prolly shave down the crank shaft, high compression pistions new cams, etc. My goal is to push 350+ hp naturally aspirated and without juice. Also i need to replace the lowered suspenion with coilovers. Im planning on painting the car black this year and powdercoating the rims gunmetal black as well. If anyone wants ill post pics in a few days.

Welcome, I too am building a N/A H23 VTEC. I highly doubt you will be able to hit 350hp though, esp not to the wheels. Its a topic I have been studying for quite some time now, and I have never really seen much more than 300whp, and thats with 13:1+ comp, race gas etc etc.

Anywho, welcome to the site, and we would love to see pictures.
