alright well I will post again if I need any other advice, or if not when I get whatever car I end up getting. Thanks for your help

 

I think so but why? I think most/all of the H and F series are interchangeable. My flywheel was designed for the H22, but fit perfectly on mah F23.

 

For when the F23 auto blows, but a F22 auto one on and it wont blow. I have heard stories of people replacing their 6th gen tranny 3 or 4 times. Does Honda not realize they could put a F22 one on and solve the problem.

 

Ah, but the 6th gens have a ECU/TCU combo called a PCM, the 5th gens have them serparate... controlling it would be an issue.

 

ah I see, knew there had to be a catch.

 

^X2.. And this wont work on the J30a1

 

^^^ no, but the J32A2 would.

 

Yeah, that was the point of my post. When it comes to the 4-door, 6gen looks much better to me than 7th. Still, I wouldnt go backwards, just for looks.

The looks of the 8th-gen just absolutely DO NOT turn me on.

Rice, maybe it was a Torneo Accord. It was in traffic & I didnt get a real good look. Seemed smaller, & seemed to be about the age that would make it a 5th-gen. I couldnt get too good a look while keeping my own car on the wrong side of the road...

Then yesterday I saw a nice 5th-gen wagon. I was walking & the car was parked, so there was no doubt what that one was.

 

Very nice Jim, I hope to visit the UK someday. Its possible it was the Accord Saloon or whatever they call it, its basically a 4th gen prelude front end with a 92-95 civic rear end.

I know of a company that imports the 5th gen wagons, I'm not sure why its just the wagons, but saw a nice RHD H22 5th gen wagon stateside.

 

This wagon looked all stock, with steelies & wheel covers. It was just clean, no rust, & no scratches. No special H-badges.

The rear of that other car was not a civic. Maybe I was just misled by some different-style taillight clusters??

Some cool cars over here. Three(!) Lotus Elise in the parking lot. Also one ~1970 Lotus Europa.

I saw a Bentley the other day too, while I was walking to some restaurant.

Ive also seen (a couple times) a fugly-green car, quite small, looks like a small sedan, about 1960-ish. With a Porsche badge. I gotta google that one to figure out if its real or just someone with a bad sense of humor bought a badge from the Porsche dealer.
