Default What if you had a stock Civic and $2 K for mods...

Hi All,

My question is :

what would you do if you had a stock 93-94 Hatchback and $2+ K for mods....

My idea is:

Rota Slipstreams 15's ,

Exhaust ?

Turbo --> definitely but the motor is bone stock and I want a turbo kit w/ intercooler and BOV

Boost Gauges

Sideskirts ( not necessarily though)

Springs ( lower and stiffer)


Brakes?

Is this doable? what parts/ manufacturers should I go with?

Please help me guys

You could do all of it w/o the turbo for 2K, or you could do the turbo and exhaust and gauges for just over 2K if you shop around. Wouldn't leave you any for tuning and misc stuff though.

I would go turbo and exhaust, but that's just me. You can always peice together all the other stuff later.

i would definately throw in an intake, possibly a header. as far as the exhaust, the greddy evo2 catback is my fav!

hehehhe thanks for the replies guys

oh, BTW your friend isn't helping me too much maybe I'm just a tard and I can't search $hit LOL

so I decided not to go turbo

instead I'm gonna go

intake --> http://andysautosport.com/largepic.p...&cid=Ho92Civic

maybe exhaust [DUNNO WHICH]

lowering kit--> http://performancecenter.com/product...ber_TKOILK202/

rims & tires--> http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...100&vid=006797

sideskirts [DUNNO WHICH]

strut bars [DUNNO WHICH]

maybe you guys could help me out and tell me what to buy, post some links to the stuff I want / tell me if I made right choices for the stuff I have so far selected

I will greatly appreciate your help guys, I want to get a V-Tec engine hatchback in the first place, in my country ( Poland) I can get a 125 hp V-Tec hatchback for around $3000.00 and I'll have approx $2000.00 for mods. If I don't get a V-Tec hatch then probably I'm going for an engine swap which means my buddy in FL ships a 150 hp V-Tec engine to me. But that takes some more money which I don't really wanna spend so most likely it's either 125 hp V-Tec or a 90 hp 16 valve motor which sucks I know.

So, could you please post links to a V-Tec and non-V-Tec intake and exhaust for me as well?

thanks in advance

This covers some of the debates between turbos and SC's. Supercharger is belt driven, gives power right off the line. Turbos use exhaust gasses to spin a turbine, both are forced induction, and add lots of power. Turbos kick in later than superchargers, but power longer. Getting either is a good idea. Some ppl say one is better than the other. It boils down to if u want power off the line or spooling turbo power in the early RMS. If dont correctly, both are reliable and fast. Get forced induction instead of that crap.
