D17A2
 

hi,

I have an 2003 Honda civic EX and i have read on here that its not worth it to try to fix up the engine bc its to much money and it would be cheaper to just sell it and get a different car. is that right or did i miss understand? I was thinking about just doing some bolt ons just to get a little more horsepower, or maybe a turbo but not if it just a money pit in the long run. But im asking bc if its just a wast of money ill just keep it stock and save up my money for a different car. dont get me wrong i love the car never had any problems with it, but ill just keep it the way it is if its not worth the money to fix it up.

and thoughts from you guys would really be appreciated

RE: D17A2 any good?
 

i would say save ur money. but if uu really want to do basic bolt ons I/H/E yncan but thats all i would spend on that car. D17's werent that great of an engine in my books. I knew a co-worker who had turbo'd his d17 and a few months later the engine went bye bye

thanks that is was what i thought. ill just save my money and buy a new car with it later down the road i guess.

lol i was actually considering putting a new engine in but i herd it was just as had hard and expensive. bummer but its just my first car so i dont need to go all crazy anyways lol even thought it would be fun.

im still open to any ideas people might have for my car and i still might do the I/H/E if you guys think they are worth the money.

i would do an I/H/E and save up fora project car so you still have your car to drive while you learn and fix up anotehr car like a 92-00 civic
