well for a better ride i would get some good tein coiovers for about 900 bucks,
well if you take it to the honda delership it will be at least 1200 bucks
Uhhh...not trying to call you out or anything here, but where did you come up with that number?
Remember here, he's talking about going from an F22 to an H22. The Honda dealership where I live won't do anything besides replace a motor with the exact same motor, so most likely a Honda dealership won't even do this swap at all.
Assuming that they agree to do the swap, you're saying $1200 for labor, but then you add the cost of a motor and ecu (which if the Honda dealership sources it for you its gonna be damn expensive), and you're looking at significantly more money. Plus, installing an H22 into an F22-equipped Lude isn't a straight drop-in-and-go. Well, as far as mounting the motor it is, but you're gonna need a VTEC ecu and some re-wiring done to make it work.
I'm thinking that a Honda dealership isn't even gonna touch this one, and if, for some reason they do agree to do it, the labor's gonna be ridiculously high, certainly higher than $1200.
My advice would be to have the car shipped to you, and either pay a tuning shop to do it or do it yourself.
