Looking for some coilovers atm, stiffen up the chassis a bit braces etc etc.

Im in two minds about the engine im looking to change into it or even look into performance parts for the b20a7, being the highest BHP engine that prelude recieved at 150bhp.

Being a b20 im guessing the mounts are the same as the other B series engines? Ive read up that a b18 isnt as much work as a H22 and being a smaller block doesnt hang as low and have clearance issues, also the conversion parts for a h22 are ridiculously priced and rare which is a pain.

The problem with engine swaps is that the engine in the prelude's bay was angled back to achieve such a low bonnet line, also id like to keep my comforts like air-con.

Just need to weigh out the pros n cons and of course cost, im not minted haha

cheers T! didnt think it would be everyones cup of tea but im a fan. Really? ive only ever seen 2 an they were both white, look a bit wa*k in white mind.

Proving hard to get decent suspension for it though! BC coilovers seem to be the only way.
