I felt it was a great deal too, that's why I jumped all over it.
I bought it from a friend who bought it from a friend that owns a car lot where it was traded in.

The lot didn't give the guy jack for trade in since the car had been "altered".
My fiend did some trading and got it for his oldest son who ended up going the scion xb route.

So my buddy offered it to me for a little less then what he had in it, he was tired of it sitting in his garage.

I would go with whatever is stock for that engine, usually NGK V-power. You're not running any kind of crazy boost setup so platinum or iridium plugs would be unnecessary.

do you have any info on the parts used? what model H22 is it? what ecu are you using? tuning software? What motor mounts? Does the car shake with these mounts?

Just curious.

I forgot all the paper work at my buddies house that list everything used.

The engine is a H22a with numbers below of 1048025
The ecu is out of a prelude, I'll get a number off it tomorrow.

Not sure on the mounts used, I know the receipt is in the paper work for them.
They are STIFF, they do transfer some vibrations but no shakes.

more pics on the way....

The engine tag, I have yet to decipher which version off the H22A it is.
Any help would be great.

EDIT: I figured out that it is a Jdm engine but unsure of exactly what model/year
