hey man,
I think thats a great idea. I think you definately need to make some friends with a good shop. the type of people that would be willing to give you a good deal so that they might be able to do this to other people's car, Almost like a sponsorship. I have a good knowledge about the accord as well as a good chunk of knowledge about the Roxy. i think its totally possible and a rad idea. IF you were at a light and someone revved on you and you lit up the rears of an Accord, i dont think there would be anything cooler. Plus you know there would be plenty of room under the hood for some wild intercooler piping, so get a Turbo two motor, built up seals and what not and lets do this thing. Side pipes would really set it off too. Good luck, and go check my post for my new makeover ideas and tell me what you think. PEAce,Rut
oh and I think "The Dude" is being very undude ....

Now DUDE,
just so you know, everyone else on this topis owns an Accord. you own a truck, so go find a truck forum and quit being so Undude. You need to change your name cause I bet all these guys like lebowski as much as I do and you really give it a bad name. PEAce out Dude

my dad used to have an RX-7. it was the car i was supposed to learn how to drive stick in. the tranny blew when i was 15, and before i really knew about aftermarket car stuff. man i wish he would have held onto that thing. he just sent it to a junkyard and forgot about it, didnt try to sell it or anything 
but then again, thats how i ended up with my accord.
i think its gonna be real hard to get done and its gonna cost you a crap load of money but i would love to see it happen. RWD accord, sickness.

Yeah, see I look at my Accord and the way it looks from the front, and then the back, it looks to me like it should be RWD. So I want to see if it can be.
Also, the NA I have have a street port on it along with some other things like Turbo II injectors, CAI, ported intake, etc. It should be good for about 200hp or more. The main thing is, it is so much lighter than the H22, or the F22 for that matter.

Anyway, I say go for it. Nothing like having something truely unique.
