how to drop in an H22
My friend got in an accident with his 99 prelude and the damage considers the car totalled. the car still runs though cuz the h22 is ok.
anyway he wants to get an EK with the insurance money and drop his H22 into it and were wondering what kinda problems he'd run into. He'd need new mounts for sure but i also heard something about the H22 in a civic. for example ". it's like driving with a 400 pound person on your wheel..... it's like driving a minivan (wutever the fuk he meant by that?)...... too much oversteer."
is any of this shit true.... i'd understand that having such a heavy motor in the car would make the steering a little harder but would it really be that bad without power steering? and if he swaps the H22 into an EK would power steering be an option?
last question... the H22 fits in an EK hatch right? NO hammering up required?
thanks,

it would be too much understeer not oversteer if you have more weight in the front. so in other words he'll only be able to go really fast straight, and if he turns he'll keep going. so a beefed up front suspension is a must.

and when he turns the car will keep turning or the car will keep going straight?
