The Accord is a fine platform to build a street car on.I would suggest starting with a good suspension (coilovers, strut bars, etc) brakes, and then rims and tires.After that I would suggest saving up money and then doing an engine swap. An H22 from a Prelude will fit in your Accord without to many problems. You will need new motor mounts thats for sure, but over all it should fit in there quite easily.Then just go from there...add on some bolt on power....or maybe some forced or chemical induction. Good luck with your Accord.
