Default i got 3k and a civic, what to do

Ok, right now i got about 3k in my pocket, with a 1993 civic with a dead d15 engine in it.
I figured i would knock out 2k and put in a 1.6L b16 in it but i dont know what exactly i should do with the other 1000. I would like to put a new intake on it and get a new exhaust, i already got some montegi racing rims. I also want to get it painted and get a new front and back bumper.

Any suggestions?

that other 1000 will be helpful for once you've got your engine, as there are some additional parts associated with swapping a B series into a D series platform.

Get your motor, then hook up your suspension

Save the 1000 for a turbo later on

I meant aftermarket parts, a nice Shock/Spring setup like Tokico or something. There is no mod besides F/I that will make a civic more fun to drive, period.

go to the junkyard to save sum money on an engine, then go to ur local motorsports and get an intake,headers, exhaust, and springs. dis should keep you koo for a while. And when you have enough, boost it!

+1 for suspension, at the very least some strut bars, lowering springs and maybe some sway bars, and from there save for F/I, thats really the onyl way you'll get some real gains out of that thing. I/H/E, yea they're fun, but dont expect more than 15 hp (if youre lucky)

^ +1 if you do go with a B16 go with a CTR Pulley, new water pump, new timing belt ect.
