New Member Introductions - New person here with a question

Hello all,

I have a 2001 civic dx 5-speed 2 door coupe. No frills from the factory. It has a full xenon eurothane body kit, Kamanari rear spoiler, guages, racing tachometer and after market exhaust with 17" enkei rims. I've had the car for almost 3 years. Best car i've ever owned as far as reliability, fuel milage and looks go. My question is i am looking to upgrade to a better engine that i can put performance parts on, intake, turbo, exhaust etc. What are my options? With other engine options will it work with my stock 5-speed transmission or will i have to change that too?

Thanks

i'd get rid of the ugly first.


so the tach is specifically for racing? lolllllll

And here I was, thinking that tachs were for reading the RPMs of the engine. Silly me.

No need for this.... at least without pics lol.

So heres your choice you either A) swap to a k series which would involve everything that does anything from the pedals forward swaped to either a si or a rsx. This will cost somewhere around 5k
B) do what almost noone does and build your pos d17. $who knows....

i agree with trust LOL!

but i say you be different and build the d17 and boost it. I mean you probably already stand out, so imagine that thing going vrrrrruuummmm pshttttttt

Thanks jpnolan. What year k series will work?. Same question with the si or rsx, what years?

Just so everyone can see his edit:

Hey trustdestruction what is "get rid of the ugly first" ? and your other silly and childish answers. Did you even finish high school? or did your head explode before your mouth could catch up? I guess there's always one smart @ss on every forum.

"Get rid of the ugly first" means exactly what it says. Get rid of the rice on your car, which from the sounds of it is just about everything you've done to it.

Yes I finished high school. But even if I hadn't, who are you to talk, you're the one stuck in the 90's.

Also, if you would have done a damn search, you'd find that your question has been asked and answered a lot already.

Are we serious right now...... This is why hcf has such a hard time getting and keeping new members.

You can swap any of the k20s alot of good information about this swap can be found at http://www.xproductionz.com/k20swap/k20swap.html or

lets see some pics. did you lower the car with those 17", what aftermarket exhaust did you get? is this a daily driver?

btw, 06_warrior, no need to come on here and start flaming a well-establish, reputable member here. no need to post up those comment to make yourself more superior here. you can't expect everyone to like your car. body kits, huge exhaust, tall ass spoilers and what constitutes as rice and is what give civic's a bad reputation. trust knows what he is talking about, he is one of the most knowledgeable member on here, so if you don't like what you hear then take your post somewhere else. with your type of comments, doubt many people will help you now.

Honestly, the only people that this talk keeps away are ricers. I consider it a good thing.

When you get overrun by ricers, you get what's happening to Honda-Tech. Tons of ricers are joining Honda-Tech, and all of the frustrated senior members are leaving because they hate V-bulletin and they hate ricers. Now Honda-Tech is mostly a bunch of people giving bad information, and then a few people who actually know what they're talking about.

Exactly Jpnolan, that's why with a little bit more searching i found wayyyyyy better forums. People are wwwwaaaaayyyyy nicer and friendlier who have more knowledge and better detailed threads. Who needs insults from cry babies. I guess they forgot what it was like to start off modding there car. Oh well your loss. See ya. I won't be coming back any time soon so thanks to all the numb nuts who like to poke fun at someone they know nothing about. Bye bye tough guy never finished high school, pimple faced domino delivering idiot.

Oh yea and by the way **** YOU!!!!!! i'm trying to get me taken off this crappy forum. So YOUR AN ASS HOLE.

I hear you 06 warrior... about the fact that people can be dicks... However, maybe it is a failed attempt at sarcasm? lol That's the only thing I can think of. Most all of the members are generally nice and provide helpful advice, I am sorry you feel otherwise.

It's great to think that so many current members are worried and are trying to get more and more people on this forum, but yet, deter them when a question is asked. I am not speaking of anyone in general, as I have said, most all members are great to deal with and try and help as much as possible.

I am sorry we have branded ourselves as a "crappy forum"... honestly, 06 warrior, I hope you are able to give us another chance. I am definitely interested in seeing a few pics of your car. Although, I am not a huge fan of body kits etc etc, I will admit there is about 1% of all cars with aftermarket body kits which do look nice IMO.

Oh yea and by the way **** YOU!!!!!! i'm trying to get me taken off this crappy forum. So YOUR AN ASS HOLE.

It's "you're".

Unless you were saying that I have an asshole ("your" is possessive), which would be true.



But yea, welcome to the internet... you can't get your panties in a wad over one person's opinion. This will happen at any forum you go to eventually, regardless of the subject.

I don't like body kits, big spoilers, and huge tachs, and i'll say it if I want. I actually "insulted" you very mildly, you are overreacting.
