Should I Get this EG Hatch or No?
Ok it's a 95 EG Hatch with fresh paint, no dents, pretty good condition in/out. Has AEM intake, Spoon lightweight racing wheels with pretty new tires, not sure what type of exhaust or if it has headers ect...It has a H22 motor swap (Has 80k on it), which is the 2.2L 200HP V-Tec Engine. The car itself has 125k miles. I know the motor in it is fast and the prelude motor in a civic hatch can really have a good power : weight ratio...

whats he wanting for it? the car looks sharp and if the motor is in good condition you should be more than satisfied! alot of torque though, you'll have to get used to the torque to the front wheels...

Check the cyl. pressure, for leaks, drive it and don't be scared to get in it, you need to know if that tranny is in good condition, shift at different RPMs to test the synchros... If everything is checks out and even if it don't you can't beat a h22 swap in a hatch for 3gs.....

Well I don't know how I will check the cyl. for pressure or how I will check for any small leaks because I am not an expert for one and I don't know if the guy is gonna let me take the thing to a shop ya know? I'll be able to drive it and yea I planned on shifting at low rpm's and at high ones just to see how it is...and even if the motor isn't in the best condition I could have it rebuilt for fairly cheap right? I've never driven a hatch before so if you could give me some tips on how to tell if the tranny/motor is good while driving it let me know any will be appreciated...
And now I'm thinking, will the H22 be too heavy? I heard that they could bend some **** in there because it's so heavy, and would it make my handling ****ty? I'm not going to be autoxing I don't think but I will be racing on some curvey roads...

I have never drove a h22 hatch, however I have heard that it does decrease the handling if you stick with stock suspension.... if your going to be driving on curvy roads you might want to invest in a good suspension for it... you can get a pressure tester from any local autoparts store or tool wholesale place.. And as for leaks, take it for a long test drive, atleast 10-15 minutes... park it and leave the car running, then check under it for leak spots after about 5-10 minutes... make sure to give the tranny hell so if it does leak when you launch it you'll know... also check for abnormal oil burn... let it warm up and check the oil then drive it and check it when you get back...

Well I would like to vouch for the B16A2s, I have one in my EG right now.. And I beat a H22 EG hatch... Now I can't say its because the b16 is faster or anything like that, the could may just not have known how to drive a FWD car with that much torque, or the motor may have been in bad shape... It don't matter really if you do D/B/H/K series it depends on your tuning and the driver really... I watched a d15b2 with a small turbo beat a b18c1 turbo in the 1/4 (10.21) vs (10.83)... so it just depends on if its done right...
